KILLED : Mr Sun Wakang, who
was attacked by a student in his classroom, died at the scene.
A TEACHER in China paid the ultimate price for trying to
discipline a student.
The teacher had his throat slit by a grade 12
(equivalent to junior college) student with a fruit knife on Sept
14 after he confiscated a mobile phone.
Britain's Daily Mail reported that the student,
named only as Lei in local news reports, had been found playing
with his phone by his teacher, Mr Sun Wakang, 32, during a
chemistry lesson at a middle school in Fuzhou, in China's eastern
Jiangxi province.
The following day Lei went to Mr Sun's classroom
where the teacher was marking papers, and slit his throat.
The father of a one-year-old daughter died at the
scene as the student fled.
The report said the student called the local
emergency number on Sept 17 and confessed to the crime before
turning himself in to police in Shanghai.
Mr Sun had worked as a chemistry teacher at
Linchuan No. 2 Middle School for five years before his brutal
murder, school official Xiong Haishui said.
He was a well-loved teacher, and had even coached a
student who won the National High School Olympics Chemistry
competition.
In China, the six years of middle school are
similar to secondary school and junior college here.
The report said that through the teacher had taken
the student's mobile phone, it had been returned at the end of the
day.
Lei attacked Mr Sun just four days after China's
Teacher's Day which was celebrated on Sept 10.
Officials say a fellow teacher heard Mr Sun's
scream and called emergency services, but the 32-year-old was dead
before an ambulance arrived.
Linchuan No.2 Middle School is one of the best
schools in Jiangxi Province and has one of the highest university
acceptance ratios in the region.
