on the evening of august 31, zhu huan (pseudonym), a 13-year-old girl from kunming, yunnan, who had studied dance for 9 years, suddenly collapsed during the rehearsal of the cheerleading performance at the opening ceremony of kungang experimental school in anning city, yunnan province, where she studied.

the school believes that it can bear 20% of the responsibility and is willing to pay 30,000 yuan in humanitarian compensation, as well as 250,000 yuan from the insurance company. the zhu family finds it difficult to accept such an outcome.

the deceased's brother: my sister has been practicing dancing for 9 years and has never shown any abnormality

"she just passed the 13th-level certificate this year, and she was also registered for the solo dance competition, but she didn't have time to participate... she didn't have time to get the 13th-level certificate, and she left." on september 20, zhu huan's brother, 21-year-old xiao zhu, a senior student at a university in kunming, was in low spirits. he told the huashang daily dafeng news reporter that his sister was studying at kunming steel experimental school and had been learning dance for 9 years. she went to the training institution to practice dancing indoors every saturday, and there had never been any abnormal situation before.

xiao zhu recalled that before the incident, his sister was on summer vacation and should have been resting at home. however, due to the need for the opening ceremony performance, she had to go to school every day from august 26 to rehearse cheerleading. at 10 am on the 31st, his sister woke up and had a meal. he sent his sister to school to rehearse cheerleading, and his sister looked normal. however, two days before the training, his sister, who had trained cheerleading earlier, said that she was a little tired from cheerleading. at that time, he comforted his sister a few words, which made him blame himself afterwards.

"she said your daughter fainted at school, come quickly..." xiao zhu said that at about 5:00 that day, her mother, who was selling vegetables at the farmers' market, called her sister. her sister's tone of voice was normal on the phone, and her family members later saw that her sister did not show any signs of discomfort in the surveillance video. at 6:14 p.m., her mother suddenly received a call from the parent of her sister's classmate, informing her that her sister had suddenly gone into shock. her mother immediately ran to the school from the farmers' market, which was one or two kilometers away.

xiao zhu said that when her mother arrived at the school gate, the ambulance had just arrived. by the time the ambulance medical staff found her sister, it was around 6:25. "my sister fainted at 6:05... it was more than 30 minutes before she was taken away, and half an hour had passed before they started sending her to the hospital."

family members questioned: sudden death may be caused by high-intensity training, and the school's rescue was inappropriate

"it was people nearby who called 120. there were two teachers at the time." xiao zhu said that afterwards, by asking his sister's classmates and checking the surveillance video retrieved by the police, the whole family learned that the training in the previous few days was from 2 o'clock to 5:30, but was suddenly delayed by half an hour on that day. the indoor training started at 2 o'clock, and several outdoor training sessions were arranged, and outdoor training was arranged again at 5:30.

although the temperature in kunming was not high that day, only more than 20 degrees celsius, the ultraviolet rays were very strong and the sun was very hot. the dance studio where my sister rehearsed was small and poorly ventilated, so it was quite hot and stuffy. the family speculated that the cause of my sister's sudden death might be the combination of this high-intensity training and the hot weather.

what bothered xiao zhu the most was that he heard from his sister's classmates that after his sister fainted face down, the teacher turned her over, laid her flat on the hot playground, and took simple first aid measures such as pinching her zhong. his sister woke up briefly, but the teacher did not hold an umbrella to shade her or give her some water, even though he knew it would take 20 minutes for the ambulance to arrive, and moved her to a cool place.

"the doctor said she wasn't breathing when she was taken to the ambulance, but she recovered after an injection of adrenaline for a few seconds, and then passed away." xiao zhu said that half an hour after his sister was resuscitated in the hospital, the doctor still issued a death notice. "the doctor wrote sudden death on the death certificate. he told me that he suspected it was related to the intensity of her (sister's) training that day. he said that if we want to confirm it specifically, we need an autopsy."

negotiation failed: the school is only willing to bear 20% of the responsibility, and the negotiation is deadlocked

"after the insurance company came, they negotiated with the school. we think it was because the school shirked its responsibility that the insurance company misjudged and awarded 20% of the responsibility." xiao zhu said that after her sister passed away, the family members who were immersed in grief forced themselves to take care of her funeral. however, under the mediation of the jinfang judicial office of the anning municipal bureau of justice, the negotiation and communication between the zhu family and the school did not go smoothly. according to the school, it had purchased school liability insurance for students at a rate of 35 yuan per person, and the maximum compensation standard was 1.2 million yuan. after negotiation, the insurance company believed that the school was responsible for 20%, and the insurance company paid 250,000 yuan. together with the 30,000 yuan humanitarian compensation from the school, the total payment to the zhu family was 280,000 yuan. if the zhu family does not accept this result, they can go through legal procedures.

once the lawsuit is filed, an autopsy will be needed to determine the cause of zhu huan's death. for the traditional zhu family, it is difficult to accept the autopsy of their little daughter, whom they regard as their precious jewel. xiao zhu said that her parents are farmers and the family is not well off. before her sister's accident, her parents were hesitating whether to stop her dance lessons, and the family could not afford to go to court. now, the negotiations have reached a stalemate, and they have not received the apology they deserve. the sister's body has been kept in the funeral home and has not been buried yet. the whole family is at a loss.

the education and sports bureau responded: we are still actively handling this matter

on september 21, a reporter from the huashang daily dafeng news tried to contact zhu huan’s classmates to verify the above situation, but was refused on the grounds that “i am not aware of it”.

on september 25, the reporter tried to contact kunming iron and steel experimental school, but no one answered the phone. an operator at the school's admissions hotline said that it was inconvenient to answer any questions, "all responses from our superiors are subject to this."

a staff member of the safety and health section of the anning city education and sports bureau responded that the situation was clear, but because it involved some personal privacy, the details could not be disclosed. at present, the bureau is still actively promoting the matter, "we are actively handling it in accordance with the law."
