5月12日，四川都江堰聚源中学旧址附近，大量遇难学生家属点燃纸烛、燃放鞭炮，悼念在地震中逝去的亲人。2008年5月12日的大地震中，聚源中学的两栋教学楼被夷为平地，278名学生和6名老师不幸遇难，而学校周边的民房以及校园内其他部分建筑并未完全倒塌，甚至部分旧房依然矗立。震后，多位建筑专家实地调研指出，倒塌的校舍存在配筋率不足、水泥标号不够以及建筑结构连接缺陷等明显质量问题，但当局却坚持定性为“自然灾害”。尽管遇难学生家长多年来坚持维权，要求彻查并追究建筑责任人的法律责任，但至今无果。
May 12, near the former site of Juyuan Middle School in Dujiangyan, Sichuan. A large number of family members of the victims gathered to burn incense, light candles, and set off firecrackers to mourn their loved ones lost in the earthquake.
During the massive earthquake on May 12, 2008, two teaching buildings at Juyuan Middle School were razed to the ground, resulting in the tragic deaths of 278 students and 6 teachers. In stark contrast, residential houses surrounding the school and other structures on campus did not fully collapse—some older buildings even remained standing.
Following the disaster, several architectural experts conducted field investigations and pointed out clear quality issues in the collapsed school buildings, including insufficient reinforcement ratios, substandard cement grades, and structural connection defects. However, the authorities insisted on categorizing the tragedy strictly as a “natural disaster.” Despite the victims’ parents persisting in their pursuit of justice for years—demanding a thorough investigation and legal accountability for those responsible for the construction—their efforts remain without result to this day.
