The next year, “The Bad Boys” (hidden corner) also depicts school humiliation and violence between students. Korean or Japanese series, still popular in China, just as frequently tackle this question of bullying and school violence.

Chinese news is also full of examples indicating the gravity of the situation.. After the disappearance and suspicious death of Hu Xinyu, in Jiangxi, at the beginning of the year, it is a news item having happened unrolled in Hainan which hits the headlines. A video uploaded last week shows a young girl from 13 years old beaten with a stick, insulted and humiliated by her comrades.

She will end up being brought back by a lady from the village. Faced with the violence of the facts and contacted by the father of the victim, the police made the trip to find that “violence took place on both sides”. When Xiao Zhu's Relatives Uploaded Videos of the Abuse, “unknown” people came in the evening to ask the family to delete the videos. To calm anger, the school principal was thanked.
