Around dawn on May 20th, students in Building No. 15 at the Qingdao campus of China University of Petroleum were still asleep when a "splash" sound was heard and someone fell down - it was an electroconductivity meter. She was a third-year student. Currently, the school authorities have not made any response or comment regarding the jumping incident.
At 9:00 AM on May 20th, citizen Mr. Xu reported that at Building No. 15 of the Qingdao campus of China University of Petroleum, a female student jumped from the seventh floor for unknown reasons, resulting in self-inflicted injuries. Police cars and ambulances were handling the scene. After receiving Mr. Xu's report, the journalist immediately rushed to the school campus where a police car was still parked on the scene. The female student who jumped had already been taken to the hospital for rescue. Many students came to inquire about the situation, and some of the school's responsible persons were consoling the students' emotions.
From the dialogue between several female students and the school teacher, the journalist learned that these female students were roommates of the girl who jumped. They were third-year students from the Chemical Engineering College, and the girl who jumped was named Nan (approximate pronunciation). Her sudden jump shocked her roommates as much as it saddened them.
"These past few days, she seemed normal, with no changes in her emotions. Originally, she planned to take the postgraduate entrance exam, but recently she told me she wouldn't take it anymore and was preparing to look for a job," said a roommate who slept opposite her bed. "At five o'clock in the morning, I got up and saw that Nan wasn't in bed. I called out to her twice in the toilet, but no one answered, so I thought she just woke up early again."
According to multiple students in front of the building, after the girl fell, she did not fall all the way to the first floor but landed on a small platform on the second floor. Why would she jump? The journalist attempted to understand the situation from Nan's roommates, but they were reluctant to say more: "Maybe she had something weighing heavily on her mind and couldn't think clearly..." When asked whether it might be due to the pressure of job hunting or emotional issues, a roommate cried and said, "Nan broke up with her boyfriend during the May Day holiday." The journalist wanted to learn more, but the school staff handling the event told the students not to talk too much. Subsequently, after identifying himself, the journalist intended to ask about the details of the incident. However, the school's on-site responsible person refused to answer any questions posed by the journalist, only saying that they were investigating the reason for the girl's jump and currently it was inconvenient for them to comment.
Approaching noon at 12:00, the campus had returned to its usual calmness. However, near Building No. 15, many students were still gathered downstairs pointing and discussing. Walking into the crowd, the journalist heard: "Did she jump from over there? That position, it's said she fell to the second floor." "What happened to that girl? Why did she jump?" "It's said she broke up with her boyfriend." "Oh, she's our senior sister, how pitiful..."
"Everyone disperse, go on, go on." Such gatherings continued for about ten minutes before being dispersed by a middle-aged man in white clothes.
