Thirty-eight years ago today, on December 21, 1987 (November 1, 1987 lunar calendar), primary school student Xia Fei was beaten to death by her mother's stick. Xia Fei, a 9-year-old fourth-grade primary school student in Dawu Town, Goluo Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, scored 82 points in mathematics in the final exam in 1987, ranking second in the class; 79 points in Chinese, ranking fifth. When his mother, Wu Yuxia, asked about the exam, Xia Fei was afraid of being beaten, so she lied about being above 90 points. On December 21, Xia Fei was dragged by her mother to the school to ask the teacher about the exam, and the head teacher told the truth about the exam. As soon as Xia Fei returned home, she was stripped of her clothes and beaten with an iron triangular wooden file by her mother, from 12 noon to 4 pm. At 5 PM, Xia Fei's mother saw that her son was silent, so she went to call a doctor. When she was sent to the hospital, the child was dead.
