The incident occurred during an evening self-study session at Xuanwei No. 9 Middle School in Yunnan province on April 13, Beijing Time reported.

The entire class appears to remain silent throughout the teacher’s rage episode.
After discovering the incident, the school administration asked the teacher to bring the students to the hospital for medical examination. They then contacted the students’ parents to apologize for the incident, Yunnan Net reported.
