[Voice of Hope, July 21, 2023](Comprehensive report by our reporter Fu Ming) Parents in Xi’an have protested against the authorities-led “Xi’an High School Entrance Examination Returned Students” intensified in recent days. Today, thousands of parents gathered at the Petition Reception Center in Yandian Street, Xi’an City, singing the Internationale and shouting “Xi’an baby, go to school” in unison. Many police officers were on guard to maintain stability.

Parents of students in Xi’an have protested against returned students from Henan in the municipal government for more than ten days. A video shot by a netizen revealed that on July 21, thousands of Xi’an parents protested at the Yandian Street Petition Reception Center in Yandian Street, Xi’an, singing the Internationale, and chanting “Xi’an baby, go to school” in unison on July 21.

The video showed that the authorities sent many police officers to the scene to maintain security. Dozens of police officers stood in a row at the entrance of the Letters and Calls Bureau, preventing parents from entering.

Parents have reported that “returned students from other places in the Xi’an high school entrance examination” has seriously affected the schooling of children in Xi’an. Among the 103,000 high school entrance examination candidates in Xi’an in 2023, 40,000 candidates will be candidates from other places. Xi’an citizens hope that the education department will strengthen the supervision of the “returned students” examination qualifications for the high school entrance examination to ensure that local children in Xi’an enjoy fair education.

Parents also revealed that there may be a complete industrial chain behind the returning students in Xi’an: “Behind the Big Five is the Education Bureau, which has a very thick interest chain! If it were an ordinary educational institution, it would have been defeated long ago, and this is definitely not something that one or two leaders can do! Xi’an’s education is too dependent on the Top Five to get grades! In fact, it is a bad thing!

Why parents in Xi’an reacted so strongly this time, netizens explained the reason with simple examples:

“Candidates are divided into ABCDEF, 50% of the normal admissions, Shaanxi ABC go to high school, Henan ABC also go to high school, now one-half of the ABs in Henan come to Xi’an for the high school entrance examination, Shaanxi has become one-half of the AB’s high school in Henan.

Parents compared the situation of senior high school entrance examinations in several big cities, and believed that Xi’an’s high school entrance examination is extremely abnormal. The population is half that of Shanghai, but the number of high school entrance examination candidates is similar:

Parents questioned the Shaanxi Education Bureau:

Previously, the Xi’an Education Bureau stated that at 2 pm on July 21, the relevant departments will give parents a reply at the Petition Reception Center in Yandian Street, Xi’an:

Parents in Xi’an posted on Weibo, expressing their outrage at alleged corruption by the authorities:

“Tieyi must be severely punished. The admission rate of each branch school of the Tieyi Department is close to 100%. The whole class of Henan children transfers bad Shaanxi children away. Tieyi wants to make money, and the government sells land to establish an industrial chain. The government spent 700 million on the 9-year school in Tieyi Qujiang alone. The housing price in Duling quickly doubled, and poor children who have no money and power are suffering.”

“Tieyi High School doesn’t want students from Shaanxi anymore. Please get out of Shaanxi and run a school in Henan. There are many schools like you in Xi’an.”

“I implore the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to intervene, strictly investigate the gray industry chain of Shaanxi’s high school entrance examination, and focus on investigating violations of regulations and disciplines in Shaanxi’s 2023 high school and high school entrance examinations!”

“The point is, they went to Henan to pinch the top repeaters, to raise the score line in Xi’an, and squeeze out the children who could have gone to school in Xi’an. Their score line in Henan is only more than 400 points. What’s the matter?”

“The five majors should get out of Shaanxi!”

“There is no way to check the five majors. After checking, the Education Bureau was taken away.”
