on september 15, the customer service staff of the second-hand platform said that if the tiles are cultural relics, they may involve history and are not recommended to be sold on the platform. if the system finds that a seller is selling cultural relics, the product will be removed from the shelves and punished. if buyers find that cultural relics are being sold, they can also report it, and the relevant departments of the platform will investigate and handle it.

according to jiupai news, on august 12, the reporter went to the yingding attic of the yingyuan student dormitory of wuhan university and found that many students were still searching for tiles in the ruins at the bottom of the building. a student at the scene said that these tiles also carried his memories of the school, "no matter where i am after graduation, when i see this tile, i will remember every bit of studying at wuhan university."

according to a previous report by jingshi live, in august this year, several netizens posted that the student dormitory (old dormitory) next to sakura avenue at wuhan university was being renovated, and many iconic green glazed tiles fell to the ground. students picked them up as souvenirs, and some made tiles into vases. netizens not only posted the tiles they found on social platforms, but also wrote down the specific locations and methods of picking up tiles. many netizens left messages saying they would pick them up, and even wanted the poster to "pick them up for them."

on the morning of august 14, a poster who had picked up tiles said that he was a family member of a faculty member of wuhan university. the school was renovating the old roof, and he went to pick up the glazed tiles because he felt they were a kind of commemoration. "i've been picking up tiles for two days, and there are fewer and fewer tiles. this is a kind of sentiment, and they are also very collectible."

a staff member from the security department of wuhan university stated that the school is renovating the roofs of old dormitories, and there are safety hazards if students rashly go to the construction site to pick up tiles. "neither new nor old tiles can be picked up because many of them are cultural relics and cannot be kept as souvenirs." the staff member also stated that some people were picking up new tiles that were to be installed, which also caused trouble for the renovation workers. people have been sent to the scene to maintain order.

it is reported that the old dormitory was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit in 2001. the old dormitory was completed in 1931. during the later use, many glazed tile roof tiles were damaged. the 2016 renovation followed the principle of "not changing the original appearance of the building". in order to remember history and present the original appearance of the building, the original peacock blue glazed tile roof of the hundred steps was specially preserved.
