The victim dragged her classmates into the situation. It was rumored locally that there were 30 to 40 victims; an early investigation by reporters confirmed at least 10 victims. Three people have been arrested or are under criminal detention. Parents accused multiple village committee chairmen and civil servants of being involved. In Lishui, Zhejiang Province, which is famous for "Celadon" and "green ecology", since late February this year, rumors have spread that "dozens of female students from Bihua Middle School, a local junior high school, were raped by businessmen, village cadres, and government employees."
At 2:30 PM on Friday, February 13th, all teachers of Bihua Middle School began their weekly "centralized training". The "collective training" was a new rule established after the school changed its principal in September last year. During this time, a mobile phone of a Grade 7 homeroom teacher suddenly rang. The call was from Xiaoling, a student in his class. In the call, Xiaoling said she had been deceived into getting into a car and was then raped. She asked her teacher for help. Xiaoling was only 13 years old.
