The beginning and end of the cucumber gate incident involved a female student from the Art Department of Xingzhi Vocational High School in Cixi, Ningbo, Zhejiang. She used a cucumber for self-comfort in her dormitory, accidentally breaking it, leaving part of it inside her body, which could not be removed, thus triggering the "cucumber gate" incident. Subsequently, the girl was sent to the People's Hospital of Cixi for treatment, but the hospital was at a loss as to what to do. She has now been transferred to Shanghai for further treatment.
