「山东汶上2000学生集会，讨伐学校“苛制”获成功（2026.05.16）」5月16日，山东济宁汶上县第一中学逾两千名学生发起集体抗争行动，反对校方”无端苛制”，最终迫使校方撤销了延迟放学的决定。

据学生透露，此次事件的直接导火索，是校方擅自决定将周末放学时间由15:50延长至17:50，以增加考试时间。而更深层的不满，则源于校方长期以来对学生休息时间的无底线压缩。汶上一中曾长期实行四周一休制度，虽迫于政策压力于2024年起进行了改革，但至今仍未落实双休，学生每周只有24小时休息时间。现任副校长吴治国上任后，更是变本加厉，不断削减此前的改革措施，试探学生底线，试图重新推行“四周一休”制度，积怨由此不断加深。

5月15日夜，在获知学校的延迟放学计划后，不满情绪迅速蔓延，学生们以口口相传的方式迅速组织起来，商讨出抗争诉求并确定了具体的抗争行动方案。

5月16日9时50分许，学校教学楼三楼的学生率先发难，集体冲出教室，高喊“放假”口号，前往学校广场集结。他们的行动很快得到了高一、高二年级超过2000名学生的响应，纷纷加入抗争行动。期间，有学生高举一面在历史剧中使用的道具横幅，上书”外争主权，内除国贼”，引发学生欢呼。与此同时，一篇被称为《讨汶上一中檄文》的文字也在学生间流传，其中写道：“万千学子，同心共愤，必当坚守本心，据理力争，绝不屈从无端苛制！”

在持续约45分钟后，校方最终作出让步，宣布恢复原定15:50放学安排，随后，学生陆续返回教室，抗争行动取得成功。

“Over 2,000 Students in Wenshang, Shandong Hold Mass Protest Against School’s Harsh Policies, Forcing Reversal (2026.05.16)”

On May 16, more than 2,000 students at Wenshang No.1 High School in Wenshang County, Jining, Shandong Province launched a collective protest against what they described as the school administration’s “unreasonable oppressive policies,” ultimately forcing the school to revoke its decision to delay dismissal times.

According to students, the immediate trigger for the incident was the school’s unilateral decision to extend weekend dismissal time from 3:50 p.m. to 5:50 p.m. in order to increase exam preparation time. However, deeper resentment stemmed from the school’s long-term and relentless compression of students’ rest time. Wenshang No.1 High School had previously implemented a “one day off every four weeks” system for many years. Although reforms were introduced in 2024 under policy pressure, the school still has not adopted a true two-day weekend system, leaving students with only 24 hours of rest each week. After Vice Principal Wu Zhiguo took office, students say conditions worsened further as he continuously rolled back earlier reforms, tested students’ limits, and attempted to restore the “one day off every four weeks” system, causing grievances to intensify.

On the night of May 15, after students learned about the school’s plan to delay dismissal, dissatisfaction spread rapidly across campus. Students quickly organized themselves through word of mouth, discussing protest demands and formulating a concrete action plan.

At around 9:50 a.m. on May 16, students on the third floor of the school’s teaching building took the lead, collectively rushing out of their classrooms while shouting “Give us our holiday!” before gathering in the school square. Their actions were soon joined by more than 2,000 first- and second-year high school students, who poured into the protest.

During the demonstration, some students raised a prop banner used in a historical drama bearing the slogan: “Defend sovereignty abroad, eliminate traitors at home,” triggering loud cheers from fellow students. At the same time, a text titled “Declaration Against Wenshang No.1 High School” circulated among students. It stated: “Thousands of students, united in shared anger, must stand firm in our convictions, fight with reason and justice, and never submit to unjust oppression!”

After approximately 45 minutes of sustained protest, the school administration ultimately backed down and announced the restoration of the original 3:50 p.m. dismissal schedule. Students then gradually returned to their classrooms, marking the protest as a successful action.
