[Edit this paragraph]
When the 5.12 earthquake occurred, I left my students alone and ran out of the classroom. On May 22, I posted an article on Tianya titled "The Earth was Shaking at That Moment—A Personal Account of the "5.12" Wenchuan Earthquake", which was detailed in the article. He described everything he did during the earthquake and his thoughts afterward.
According to the description, Fan Meizhong was taking a Chinese class at Guangya School in Dujiangyan, Sichuan, when the desk shook. However, based on some experience with earthquakes, Fan thought it was a minor earthquake, so he told the students not to panic. But before he finished speaking, the teaching building shook violently.
"I reacted instantly - a big earthquake! Then I rushed towards the stairs." Later, Fan Meizhong found that he was the first person to arrive at the football field, and waited for a long time before seeing students arriving one after another. Arriving at the playground, he then had a conversation with the students:
Fan: "Why don't you come out?"
Students: "We didn't react at first, we just saw you running away. We were so frightened that we hid under the table! We didn’t come out until the violent earthquake subsided! Teacher, why didn’t you take us out?”
Fan? : "I have never been a person who has the courage to sacrifice. I only care about my own life. Don't you know? I escaped very quickly when there was a fire in the middle of the night last time!"
Then, Fan Meizhong said to an opponent. He felt a little disappointed and the student said: "I am a person who pursues freedom and justice, but I am not someone who puts others before myself and has the courage to sacrifice myself! At this moment of life and death decision, only for my daughter can I consider sacrificing myself. , I won’t care about other people, even my mother, in this situation, because I can’t hold adults, and they can escape one by one at a moment’s notice. If it’s too dangerous, I will die with you. Meaning; if there is no danger, I don’t care about you and you are not in danger, let alone you are seventeen or eighteen years old!”
Fan Meizhong wrote: “This may be my self-exculpation, but I have no intention of doing so. Feeling of moral guilt, I also told the students, 'I will never be a person who bravely fights knife-wielding gangsters! '" These words set off a wave of waves on the forum.
Hence the name Fan Paopao
Fan Meizhong’s articles can be found on Tianya BBS, first-line education forums, etc.
Worked at Guangya School in Dujiangyan, Sichuan, but has now been suspended.

The school's teachers also said: "Most of the teachers think that his remarks are inappropriate and he is not qualified to be a teacher; among the students, some also say that he is good. There are also people who say bad things about him.
But the main reaction was strong from the students’ parents, who said they did not want our school to have such a person who “doesn’t even care about mothers” to teach their children. Fan Meizhong said that he thought the Ministry of Education’s approach was unreasonable: If he did not save the students but ran away first, he was not qualified to be a teacher, then he felt that it violated the Teacher Law. “Is there any provision that says teachers have to risk their lives?” Risking one's life, even sacrificing one's own life to save students"? If the first paragraph of his "At that moment, the earth shook and the mountains shook" shows that he is not patriotic, so he cannot be a teacher, he thinks it is nonsense. "Just because I criticize the country's issues, I cannot be said to be unpatriotic; nor can I be revoked as a teacher on the grounds that I am not patriotic. "Fan Meizhong said that there are too many citizens in China who do not resist the abuse of power by the administrative departments, but he is different. He will defend his rights and dignity at all costs. "The point is not whether I can win the case, even if it is I will defend my rights and freedom of speech at the cost of losing my job. "

The article stated: Fan Meizhong exposed his true thoughts and the dark side of his human nature. This is an opportunity that can prompt us to reflect on human nature, reflect on morality, and improve ourselves. But such an excellent resource for reflection has been regarded by pseudo-moralists and angry Internet youths as a moral criticism movement to build a chastity arch." At the same time, he also published "I feel that Principal Guangya hopes to scold those who repair buildings and repair buildings." "The Collapsed Man" proposed that when the house collapsed, the teacher left the students to escape alone. This may not be the result of careful consideration, but an instinctive survival response when danger comes - this instinct is unethical, but it can be forgiven because Everyone may have this instinct. This instinct just fails to fulfill their moral responsibility to save others and does not harm the interests of others. But it is unforgivable to cut corners when building a house, use iron wire instead of steel bars, and mix sand with cement. Well, that is not a survival instinct, but seeking wealth and killing for one's own selfish interests, and putting other people's lives in danger for the sake of profit. Of course, those who deserve to be scolded the most are those who repair and collapse buildings. .
