In a shocking incident, a nursery school teacher forced a six-year-old student to eat his vomit on his birthday, as per a report in the South China Morning Post. After the student finished his lunch, the teacher stuffed more food in his mouth. Previously, the boy had thrown up “chunks of pumpkin” after he had too much to eat. 

The incident took place on September 15 at the Maluwan Kindergarten in northeastern China’s Liaoning province. His parents filed a complaint, accusing the teacher of abusing their child. They claimed that their child’s illness resulted from having to consume the pumpkin on a full stomach. They also added that their son, who was dressed in new clothes for the occasion, came home with filthy clothes. They forgot about it until the child told his grandmother that the teacher had forced him to eat more food after having a proper lunch.

As per the outlet, the parents requested to watch the CCTV footage several times after they informed the school about the incident. However, they were not granted access to it until the police intervened. After conducting an inquiry, the local education office confirmed the matter on October 13 on its official WeChat account. It required the teacher to be fired from the institute. They also asked the school to apologise to the parents. Further, they also recommended that the principal overhaul the nursery’s staff structure and the local education office even dropped the school’s ranking.

However, as per SCMP, this is not the first time such incidents have been reported in China. In 2017, a preschool of the RYB Education in the Chaoyang area was the subject of complaints to Beijing police over a teacher who was disciplining the kids with needles. The teacher, whose last name is Liu, was sentenced to 18 months in prison and barred from working with children for five years.

Further, it was reported in August that a kindergarten teacher in northeastern China had both beaten and pulled her students to the ground. One parent said that her child developed a fractured nose and stopped wanting to attend school.

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31st. It is mostly celebrated in the United States, Canada, and other parts of the world. It has its roots in various traditions and has evolved into a modern event in several countries, including China. On Halloween, Chinese people also dress up in a variety of costumes. Some people choose to dress up as scary characters, such as ghosts, vampires, and witches. Others choose to dress up as popular culture characters, such as superheroes, movie stars, and video game characters.

In order to alleviate discomfort, particularly among individuals unfamiliar with Halloween customs, one underground railway station in Guangzhou, Guangdong province in southeastern China, has taken measures to discourage Halloween makeup by establishing a designated area for the removal of cosmetics, aiming to prevent any potential panic.

According to The South China Morning Post, on online video that is going viral on Chinese social media platforms shows a “makeup removal station” consisting of a desk with a rubbish bin next to a bucket containing facial cleanser and a roll of tissue. Several young women were standing around the desk, using their smartphones as mirrors to remove their cosmetics. One had obvious red marks on her face.

The newspaper mentioned that the video quickly led to the hashtag #subwaysecurityrequirespassengerstoremovemakeup going viral and garnering significant online attention.

The rail passenger code says that people should not wear makeup that could scare other people.

“During Halloween activities, if a passenger is wearing scary makeup, we may ask them to remove it before entering the station,” a representative from Guangzhou Subway told the Xiaoxiang Morning Herald.
