Life is so fragile, when work pressure and unforgiving reality are intertwined, the young head teacher's mind finally chooses to commit suicide by jumping off a building. This 25-year-old young man, Xu Mouhui, was supposed to welcome a bright future on the eve of a festive wedding, however, the cruel truth pushed him to the brink of despair.
According to reports, Xu Mouhui is the head teacher of the mold class of the 2023 mechanical department of Xiamen Technician College. However, due to the school's illegal increase in class hours and unreasonable work allocation, he was under tremendous work pressure. The school asked him to complete 84 lesson plans in just 5 working days, which was an almost impossible task for the exhausted Xu Mouhui. As a result, he became ill with a fever and asked the school leaders to postpone the completion of the lesson plan, but was treated indifferently and ignored. In addition, the school added other additional burdens to him, and he received no empathy and care.
Xu's sister said that the tragedy was inseparable from the school's unreasonable work arrangements. On November 23, he fell ill with a fever and applied to his superiors for a postponement of the submission of the lesson plan, but was ignored. This indifference plunged his already exhausted body into deeper despair.
The tragedy has sparked reflection on teachers' work stress and mental health. Teachers are tasked with nurturing the future, and they face a huge workload and responsibility, but they often lack adequate support and protection. If not enough attention is paid to the importance of teachers' work stress and mental health, it will pose a huge threat to their physical and mental health.
We call on relevant departments and schools to pay attention to the rights and welfare of teachers, and pay attention to their work pressure and mental health. Strengthen the protection of teachers' rights and interests, and provide a suitable working environment and reasonable work distribution. Through the establishment of a sound support system, teachers can feel the respect and care of the society, and get rid of the trouble of work pressure.
Life is precious, and we should work together to create a healthy, safe and comfortable working environment for every teacher, so that tragedies are never repeated. Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
