Recently, there was a large area of suspected food poisoning in Youlan Experimental High School in Tanghe County, Nanyang City, Henan Province, but the local education department did not make a notification about the incident. According to the source, the local school banned the use of cell phones, resulting in the news not getting out in time.
The source recently told that last week, Tanghe County Youlan Experimental High School had a large area of food poisoning, and Tanghe County Chinese Hospital and New Chinese Hospital were full of sick students, with about three hundred people hospitalized.
The source also said he doubted that it was necessarily food poisoning and said the local government was hiding the actual number of patients.
On May 11, a number of parents in Nanyang reported to “Er Sanli Information” that students at Youlan Experimental High School were suspected to have suffered from food poisoning on a large scale, and after the incident, many students were sent to hospitals for treatment.
According to the report, Tanghe County government said that some students did have suspected food poisoning, but the number of suspected poisoning and the specific situation are under further investigation.
At present, there is no local notification for this matter. A post about the news was also deleted from Zhihu.
The reporter wrote to and called Tanghe County Education Bureau about the number of students with food poisoning and the cause of the food poisoning, but received no response as of press time. The reporter called the local Chinese hospital several times, but no one answered.
There is very little information about Youlan Experimental High School on the Internet. According to public information, Youlan Experimental High School is a local key high school with more than 3,400 students. The school was revealed to have issued a notice in February that students are forbidden to carry cell phones, otherwise they will be expelled from school.

The reason for the delay in the news of the mass poisoning of students in May is that students are not allowed to use their cell phones, said the source. The school is generally closed boarding system management, students can only return home during the holidays to access to cell phones, and the school only half a day off per week, and only one day off per month.
According to the WeChat public number “Tanghe Youlan Experimental High School Alumni Circle” released on February 5, “the latest notice on the prohibition of students carrying cell phones”, said “in order to implement the notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Education on strengthening the management of cell phones in primary and secondary schools “, “purify the campus environment” and so on, from the spring semester of 2021 the school committee stipulates: “students are prohibited to carry and use cell phones (including phone watches) on campus, once found that they will be advised to withdraw from school, a good attitude, active transfer and withdrawal to retain their school registration “.

The notice shows that cell phones are prohibited items in the school. Every once in a while the school will check the dormitories and classrooms, and the cell phones found will be treated as prohibited items without further notice to the person. When returning to school every week, the school organizes staff to check at the main gate, and those who are found to bring cell phones into school will be treated as expelled.
In addition, points are quantified and allowances are deducted for classes that carry cell phones. The classroom teacher will be replaced in the grade where students’ cell phones are found more than three times during the semester.
Shortly after this announcement, two students were expelled from school for carrying and using cell phones, “as an example to others. Two notices from the school show that on Feb. 23 and 25 of this year, students in the arts and physical education department and another student were dismissed from school for violating school discipline. The two notices were later removed from the web.

According to public reports, in recent years, there have been many incidents of students falling from buildings at Tanghe Youlan Experimental High School and local high schools, prompting netizens to question the school’s education and management methods.
A report by Henan Economic Network disclosed that Liu, a student in the third class of Tanghe 4 High School, used his cell phone to play games in class and was taken away by his English teacher Zhou, who asked him for his cell phone after class, claiming that he would jump off the building if he did not give it to him.
The commentary at the time said that the unit involved “does not release information in a timely manner to guide public opinion, but also adopts a cover-up attitude, not daring to face up to the problem and accept supervision”.
