Not long ago, Mr. Liu from Tianjin passed by Xuzhoudao Primary School on his way home.  Due to urgency, he rushed into the school for the toilet.  When he stepped into the toilet, he saw a circular piece of lighting on the wall.  It was a naked woman in the image.  What shocked him was that the image was from an elementary school student’s lighter.

Mr. Liu was mad and questioned the student where did he get the lighter.  The student refused to answer him initially until Mr. Liu snatched the lighter from the boy.  The boy finally told him the lighter was purchased from a stall at Jilin Road, Tanggu District, Tianjin, for only two dollars.

It was later confirmed that there was such a stall that sells lighters that transmitted obscene images.

The old classroom regulation

Recently a “Classroom Regulation” was posted online.  The regulation was from a school in Xiushan, Chongqing.  There were rules like “Not handing in the school assignment: 1 Yuan per time”, “Swearing: 1 Yuan per time, or 30 Yuan monthly pass”, “Skip class: 5 Yuan”, “Not memorizing the study materials: 2 Yuan per time”, etc.

The above image was the older rules and regulations:

• Fighting: 10 Yuan, Sweep floor for one month.
• Scolding others: 50 cent per time, apologize to oponent, sweep floor for a week.
• Smoking: 20 Yuan, plus writing penalty.
• Late: 50 cent (emergency is excluded).
• Skip class: 5 Yuan for each lesson.
• Playing cards: 20 Yuan.
• Drinking: 20 Yuan
• Not sweeping floor: Sweep for another week.
• Not doing or handing in homeworks: 1 Yuan per time.
• Drawing on others’ clothes: 50 cent, plus help one to wash clothes.
• Sleeping in the class: 3 Yuan.

New regulation is said to be more detailed, such as people who talks in the class need to wear mask (at their own expense), people who washed their hands with purified water will be fined to carry the water for two weeks, etc.  Both new and old regulation has noted that all fines collected will be donated to the charity.

The rules and regulations were mostly the idea of the students.  Only one person was fined 2 Yuan in the last semester, and no one had ever bought the monthly pass for swearing yet, write one composition for those who involve in drinking, smoking, using internet, or puppy love about the negative effects of those activities, punish to memorize one of the article in “Tao Te Ching” (or Dao De Jin, means Self-cultivating Scripture) for nicknaming others, etc.

Perhaps the amount of textbooks you used during your education years didn’t add up to the textbooks used by each student of the high school in Henan, China.

Arthur Baby (nickname) went back to his alma mater Taikang One High for a visit.  He took some photos and posted online to show apart from the high grain yield, Henan also had high production of textbooks.  He said that there are too few places for Henan college entrance examination.  The competitive pressure was really high there.  He said each student had 34 textbooks.

He said a third grade high school student’s desk must have:

• One Modern Chinese Dictionary (very thick)
• One English Dictionary (very thick)
• Basic College Entrance Examination Language Knowledge Practice Book (Compulsory Purchase)
• At least one Language Textbooks (some texts need to be memorized)
• At least one Mathematics Exam Revision Information (Compulsory Purchase)
• At least one English Exam Revision Information (Compulsory Purchase)
• At least one English Textbooks (Need to memorize words everyday)
• At least one Comprehensive Exam Revision Information (Compulsory Purchase)
• At least six Notebooks (Language, Maths, etc.)
• Very thick draft papers

Some students also buy several copies of English weekly, mathematics examination exercises, and other examination papers.

The student drawers also filled with self-help books, magazines, comics, gaming console, CDs, cup, mp3, mirror, comb, tissues, and snacks.

Some people reflected that the amount of textbooks Henan high school students used were nothing compared to theirs.  Many people were glad that they already left the hell.

The photo of three primary school students wore police uniforms and armed with M16 guarding the China red flag was posted online on a forum last night.  This photo was circulated online since 2006.  However people still discussing the controversial photo whether the kids were holding a fake M16 or real one.  The school was condemned by the public for doing this as it will teach the students the idea of violence.  Some people sarcastically said that the kids were holding American weapons to protect the China national flag.
