9月4日，广东清远教育局，维权的学生为了打发时间，玩起了扑克牌。据维权学生的家长透露，他们25年前就住进了清远沙田村，他们的孩子之前一直与沙田村的小孩同等待遇，一起在沙田小学读书。但是，今年小升初后，沙田村的小孩都就近上了松岗中学，但他们的孩子却因为他们是外地农村户口，被分配到了50公里远的学校上学。
On September 4, at the Qingyuan Education Bureau in Guangdong, students defending their rights played poker to pass the time. According to the parents of these students, they had moved into Shatian Village in Qingyuan 25 years ago, and their children had always been treated the same as the local children of Shatian Village, studying together at Shatian Primary School. However, after this year’s transition to middle school, the children of Shatian Village were able to attend the nearby Songgang Middle School, while their children, because they hold rural household registrations from outside the area, were assigned to a school 50 kilometers away.
