A high school student in Chengdu’s 49th High School has “fallen off a building” in a strange way, and the school is strongly covering up the truth, causing public discontent. The video shows a large number of local students and people gathered in front of the school to demand the truth, and people are constantly being arrested. The news is that the student in question is suspected to have been pushed off the building by a teacher at the school because of a place abroad.
On May 11, several videos surfaced online showing a large number of students and people gathering in front of the closed gates of Chengdu 49 Middle School that night to demand justice from the school. In one of the videos, many students are holding white flowers and shouting “truth”. A woman in shorts is then heard screaming, and is suspected to have been arrested by officials.
Another video shows a person in white being carried away by stabilizers in front of the school.
Another video also shows a person in white being carried away while a woman in the protest crowd keeps shouting “this is too much.

The father quoted his own child as saying that the deceased was pushed down the stairs by his chemistry teacher, Wan Li Xia, who is also the head teacher of the school’s senior high school. The father quoted his child as saying that he was pushed off the building by his chemistry teacher, Wan Li Xia, who is also the head teacher of the school.
The father said the school should have known better than his own child, but immediately after the incident the school began to cover it up, first blocking the windows and doors on one side of the classroom in the name of pesticides so that teachers and students could not see how the body was handled, then slitting the body’s wrists to create the illusion of suicide, and then threatening informed students not to tell the truth or not to take the college entrance exam.
The father also said that, according to his children, someone in Wan Lixia’s family works in the Chengdu education system, and that the children were threatened that the Internet police would follow the Internet and track down anyone who dared to tell the truth.
According to previous reports in the land media, Lin Weiqi, a sophomore boy at Chengdu 49 Middle School, suddenly fell off the building around 6:30 p.m. on May 9, but the ambulance arrived around 8:30 p.m. and pulled the body directly to the funeral home. The school authorities did not notify the parents of the deceased until about 9:00, and did not allow the parents who arrived to view the surveillance video, not to see the child’s remains, and refused to communicate with the parents. The school finally provided surveillance video the following morning, but the family of the deceased found that the surveillance video of the incident was missing and suspected to have been deleted. The mother of the deceased posted on social media that the school said it would follow legal procedures.
In the early morning of May 11, the Chengdu Chenghua District Education Bureau issued a notice of the incident on its official microblog, saying that the case had been investigated and determined to “rule out a criminal case. However, the police officer handling the case at the Chenghua District Branch of the Chengdu Public Security Bureau that day said, “The police are continuing to investigate in depth, and the details need to be further improved.”
The video on the internet shows the helpless parents holding their son’s effigy in front of the school to defend their rights. After the incident came to light, it soon aroused public indignation. Subsequently, a post by a suspected classmate of Lin Weiqi was circulated on the Internet, revealing the truth about the school’s threats against informed students.
In China, after a school incident, the school authorities often follow the Chinese Communist government’s “stability maintenance” habit and first cover up the truth and shut down public opinion. But the arrogance of Chengdu 49th High School has quickly led to public outcry. Some speculate that the school has the courage to operate in such a blatant manner, probably with the backing of higher-level officials.
