「河南嵩县:酷暑之下,千名学生“越狱”抗议周末补课」在近40摄氏度的酷热天气中,河南省嵩县一所高中的上千名学生于本周五下午集体“越狱”,翻越紧锁的校门,以此抗议学校临时取消周末假期、强制补课的决定。 据多名学生透露,校方当天突然通知,全体学生需留校上课至周六下午5点,并于周日中午前返校继续学习。这一突如其来的决定如同导火索,点燃了学生长期积压的不满情绪。 学生们表示,嵩县一高教室普遍存在设施老化、通风不畅的问题。一个容纳60人的教室,仅配备两台老旧的壁挂式空调,不仅制冷效果有限,还经常处于关闭状态。有学生形容教室“热得像蒸笼”,根本无法集中精神学习。并表示“如果校长能和我们一起在教室高温里办公,我们就认了。” 当日下午,大批学生聚集在校门口,要求离校回家避暑。然而,校方封闭大门,试图阻止学生离开。在短暂的对峙后,学生们自发翻越校门,最终成功“越狱”。 在学生们看来,集体“越狱”是他们对校方为提高升学率,漠视学生基本权益的一次集体反抗。
“Henan Song County: In Scorching Heat, Thousands of Students ‘Break Out’ in Protest of Weekend Make-up Classes”
In sweltering weather nearing 40°C, over a thousand high school students in Song County, Henan Province, staged a collective “breakout” on Friday afternoon, scaling the school’s locked gates in protest of a sudden decision to cancel their weekend break and enforce mandatory make-up classes.
According to multiple students, the school administration abruptly announced that all students were required to stay on campus for classes until 5 p.m. on Saturday and return by noon on Sunday to continue studying. This sudden decision became the spark that ignited long-simmering frustrations.
Students described widespread issues with outdated infrastructure and poor ventilation in the classrooms at Song County No. 1 High School. In many cases, 60 students are crammed into a single room equipped with only two old wall-mounted air conditioners—often turned off and barely functional when on. One student described the classroom as “hot as a steamer,” making it nearly impossible to concentrate. “If the principal were willing to work in these high-temperature classrooms with us,” the student added, “then maybe we’d accept it.”
That afternoon, a large number of students gathered at the school gates, demanding to leave and go home to escape the heat. When the school administration shut the gates in an attempt to block them, a brief standoff ensued. Eventually, students took matters into their own hands and climbed over the gates, successfully staging a collective escape.
For many students, this act of “breaking out” was a form of collective resistance against what they see as the administration’s disregard for their basic rights in pursuit of higher university admission rates.
