China "Sichuan"
Last year
Nine Chinese parents whose children died when their classrooms crumbled in the Sichuan earthquake last year said yesterday they will keep pursuing the government until they know why their school gave way.
The parents arrived in Beijing from Sichuan this week to petition the Communist Party’s Central Committee for Discipline Inspection.They said they represented the families of 126 children who died when the Fuxin No. 2 Primary School in Mianzhu city collapsed.Thousands of children are believed to have died in their classrooms during the quake but there is no official toll. The government says 70,000 people died in Sichuan province and 7,000 classrooms were destroyed, but has avoided releasing a detailed breakdown of the fatalities.
Parents have traveled to Beijing to seek help from higher authorities. Nothing came of their first attempt two months ago, said another parent, Chen Qiying.“The last time there were four of us. Today, nine of us came. Next time there will be even more,” said Chen, the mother of Chen Yida, who was 10 when he died in the same school.It was not immediately known if the parents’ petition was accepted because their mobile phones were turned off later yesterday.In September, a Chinese government scientist acknowledged that a rush to build schools in recent years likely led to construction flaws that caused so many of them to collapse — the first official admission that low building standards may have been behind the student deaths.
I feel that school it's really appathy about children's life, they are all the humans no rank, we all the same.
Not just the school, all the country should care more about the "Life".
