Who are the people criticizing Hengshui Middle School?

Hengshui learned about the establishment of schools in Zhejiang, setting off another carnival of criticism of Hengshui Middle School. Officials from the Zhejiang Education Department publicly stated: Hengshui Middle School is not welcome in Zhejiang! Previously, there was a rumor post criticizing Hengshui Middle School, saying that Tsinghua University classified Hengshui Middle School as an inferior middle school.

What happened to Hengshui Middle School? Why can’t we go to Zhejiang to run a school? The reason why this official said this publicly may be related to the "image" of Hengshui Middle School.

With the "rise" of Hengshui Middle School's Qingbei rate, many people turned their enthusiasm for criticizing the High School Affiliated to Renmin University to Hengshui Middle School. In this criticism, Hengshui Middle School was completely portrayed as an inhumane college entrance examination factory and a model of extreme exam-oriented education. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, for a third- and fourth-tier city like Hengshui to be able to produce so many Tsinghua and Peking University students, it must have used inhumane and extremely bad test-taking methods. Therefore, the time was refined to 3 minutes of militarization. Management, installing iron windows in classrooms to prevent students from being persecuted and jumping off the building, students swearing an oath of chicken blood, and so on. A "bloody" and "hell on earth" image of the school appeared in front of the public!

Is Hengshui Middle School really so "inhumane"? How many of our critics have walked into Hengshui Middle School?

Why do we like to criticize Hengshui Middle School

Hengshui Middle School must have shortcomings, and even many problems, and there must be problems with exam-oriented education. We have the right to criticize, but in this carnival of criticism, there have been too many "splashing" criticisms that have been made out of nothing. The participants include celebrities and the media, spreading rumors and ignoring objective facts. The critical tendency of Hengshui Middle School to be completely demonized is worthy of reflection by everyone.

Here are two widely circulated "evidences" about Hengshui Middle School.

First, the crazy scene of the 100-day swearing-in ceremony for the college entrance examination, and the crazy students.

Nearly all articles criticizing Hengshui Middle School in recent years describe scenes of children shouting slogans crazily, or directly include a picture like the one below. Many experts and celebrities took this stimulating picture as proof of Hengshui Middle School’s “criminal exam-oriented education”; many media editors unconsciously included this picture when talking about Hengshui Middle School. I have also encountered this kind of embarrassment. Last year, in an article, I talked about universities going to Hengshui Middle School to recruit students. A media editor directly paired this picture with it. When I corrected it, it could no longer be changed.
