At first, she thought it was a fight between social workers and did not step forward to stop it. However, she chose to call the police afterwards. This makes her regretful to this day. When she saw the school uniform worn by the assailant, her classmates had fallen to the ground. The assailant was a few of her peers. "Perhaps just a minute or two, everything would be different."
Fighting is like a bloody game on the computer
For Wang Ping (pseudonym), a resident of Xuefu Wenyuan in Sihong County, on July 14, the temperature rose to 35 degrees Celsius and the sun was scorching outside. Roast, "there are very few people outside".
At 11:40 noon, Wang Ping saw through his window a tall, strong black man beating a white man with a wooden stick on the grass behind the yard. There were five or six boys in white clothes surrounding him.
At first, Wang Ping thought it was a parent scolding his child. Later, he saw a boy wearing a uniform of Yucai Experimental School who stepped forward to dissuade him. As a result, he was slapped twice by the attacker.
At about the same time, Xiaoyue, a third-year student at Yucai Experimental School, also saw this scene. Because someone was wearing school uniform, she quickly took her mother and called the police.
"From beginning to end, I didn't hear any calls for help." Xiaoyue recalled that the boy fell to the ground unable to move, and was then pulled by a fat batterer to the shade of a tree in the parking lot behind.
At that time, when the boy who broke up the fight saw his friend lying on the ground and dying, he grabbed the man who hit him and shouted, "I'm almost out of breath. What do you want to do?"
The man turned around and bought a bottle of mineral water from the canteen nearby. He poured it on the face of the boy who was lying on the ground. When he saw no reaction, he said, "You're out of gas!" and then put the bottle away. stand up.
Xiaoyue later learned that the boy who hit him was Li Xiaosong (pseudonym) from Class 12, Grade 1, Yucai Experimental School, the one who tried to dissuade him was Xiaowen (pseudonym) from the same class, and the assailant was from nearby Mingde School student Xiao Wang.
Recalling this scene, Xiaoyue felt that it was like the "bloody games" that classmates often played on the computer.
Many nearby residents gathered at the scene. Someone pressed Li Xiaosong’s acupuncture points, but there was no movement. They then gave him artificial respiration, but the rescue was ineffective.
When the 120 ambulance arrived, Li Xiaosong had stopped breathing. The local police also found wooden sticks used to beat people not far from the incident.
A woman who participated in the call to the police said sadly that she did not expect the fight to be so serious and have such a cruel result.
On the same day, the Sihong police reported online that at around 12:00 on July 14, 2015, the 110 alarm station of the County Public Security Bureau received a call from the masses saying that "there was a fight near a school in the county." Rushing to the scene, they found that the victim Li Moumou (male, minor) was injured and fell to the ground. He died after rescue efforts failed. After work, at about 14:00 today, the criminal suspect involved in the case was arrested and brought to justice. The case is currently under investigation.
Middle school student "Jianghu"
As a witness, Xiaoyue said that many students like to play online games, including many violent games. She always felt that maybe the students played a lot of exciting games such as shooting and dueling on the computer, and over time they became accustomed to violence.
At around 2 pm that day, the police discovered several attackers at a swimming pool near the Sihong County Gymnasium. They went to the swimming pool to swim after being beaten.
Xiaowen’s father, Mr. Sun, said that the night before the incident, Li Xiaosong had a fight with a second-grade classmate named Zhu in the school, and the two had had conflicts before. Later, the two agreed to fight again at noon the next day.
At that time, they were making up lessons at school. The dormitory area of ??Yucai Experimental School where they were located was being repaired and reinforced. The students ate and attended classes at the school and stayed at Sihong Middle School opposite. After lunch, boarding students can go out of school to Sihong Middle School for a lunch break.
Li Li (pseudonym) is a good friend of Li Xiaosong. In his impression, student fights here often involve people from outside the school, and group fights are not uncommon. He said that Xiaowen and the deceased Li Xiaosong were classmates, and they were also worshiping as brothers. There were six boys worshiping as brothers at that time, and Li Xiaosong ranked third, so everyone called him "Third Brother." Li Xiaosong has pretty good grades, is very kind to people, and is loyal. I usually have minor conflicts with others, but most of them are just fights, or I quickly reconcile with them.
But for naughty students like Zhu, he never softens his heart, and he will not be willing to be bullied.
Li Li said that at noon that day, classmate Zhu found his good friend Wang and several others. Wang also "emphasizes brotherhood."
According to Wang’s neighbors, Wang’s parents divorced in his early years and he has been following his mother and causing mischief. But no one expected that the child would be beaten to death.
Xiaowen’s father, Mr. Sun, said that after Li Xiaosong fell to the ground, his son Xiaowen stepped forward to help him. Unexpectedly, his son was also taught a lesson. There were many bruises on his back and the back of his head. There were two big bags, and they were sent to the hospital for a CT scan. The result was nothing serious. "The child is less than 14 years old, and he was also psychologically traumatized this time. I hope that the child will not be affected in the future, and I also hope that he will come out of it soon."
A reporter from China Youth Daily contacted Li Xiaosong’s father, Mr. Li, several times, and the other party said he did not know what kind of conflict occurred between his son and Zhu. Li Xiaosong’s class teacher did not accept an interview from the China Youth Daily reporter.
Super School "Hidden Violence"
Li Xiaosong lives in Sihong County, more than 40 kilometers away from the county seat. His father was once the director of a township police station and now serves as the village branch secretary, which is a big position in the local area.
Sending their children to the Yucai Experimental School in the county has become the choice of many parents here. This well-known private school is located opposite Sihong Middle School, the best high school in the area. It was originally the junior high school of Sihong Middle School. In 2003, in response to the policy of the rise of prestigious schools, private capital was introduced to build the school.
The school introduced that it has more than 5,300 students, 93 teaching classes, 235 teachers, and a 100% academic qualification rate.
There are 24 classes in the second grade of junior high school where Li Li belongs, and there are 56 students in Class 12 where Li Li belongs. Li Li said that the school often conducts performance rankings. Student Li is in the top 300, and classmate Zhu is outside the top 1,100.
As a super middle school, the school has always been known for its strict management. Every year, a large number of students are admitted to the best local high schools. This has also become the best advertisement for school recruitment.
The school’s annual tuition is nearly 10,000 yuan, but the high tuition does not stop parents’ enthusiasm for “hoping for their children to succeed.” Every year, thousands of rural children give up the opportunity of free compulsory education and become boarding students in this county's super middle school. These children who have left their hometowns face stressful studies in boarding schools, and "brotherhood" seems to have become a way to "keep warm."
A classmate of Li Xiaosong said that brotherhood is relatively common here, with pros and cons. The advantage is that when encountering difficulties, we can comfort each other, talk to each other, and overcome difficulties together. The disadvantage is that "if one brother is bullied, the other brothers must stay with him to the end."
There are also comments that the incident happened suddenly outside the school, but the hidden dangers have already been highlighted. Conflicts among students have been fermenting for a long time, and there are no channels for easing them. This kind of "hidden violence" on campus has not been discovered, intervened and resolved in time.
During the summer vacation, Li Xiaosong chose to stay in school as usual. In order to prepare for the high school entrance examination a year later, teachers have to provide them with junior high school courses in advance.
On June 17, the Sihong County Education Bureau issued the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Summer Vacation for Primary and Secondary Schools and Kindergartens in 2015", which explicitly prohibited schools from making up classes and paid training in violation of regulations, and stipulated that all classes on July 10 All county schools are officially on holiday.
The relevant person in charge of the Sihong County Education Bureau said that currently, the Sihong County Public Security Bureau has filed the case as a criminal case, and the police are conducting further investigation into the case. "The civil compensation part of this case has been basically settled, and Yucai Experimental School assumes all financial compensation liability."
In less than a month, Li Xiaosong will celebrate his 14th birthday. But the beautiful life in the alley has come to an end.
