This video shows a teacher allegedly ‘punching’ a schoolgirl in the face after she forgets how to read a few Chinese characters, leaving her with a black eye and a torn ear.

The child, seven, is a first-year pupil at Zizhou County No 3 Elementary School, which is in the city of Yulin in north-western China’s Shaanxi Province.

CCTV images dated 25th October show the as yet unnamed teacher plucking the young girl out of her seat and pushing her to the front of the classroom.

The silent footage – seen over two million times in less than 24 hours – shows the teacher kicking the girl and reportedly repeatedly punching her in the head and face, causing her to fall onto the floor twice as she is disciplined in front of all of her classmates.

Local media reports say the girl was singled out for punishment after she forgot how to read several Chinese characters in her workbooks.

Her teacher twisted her left ear, ripping it, while also giving her bruised right eye, the family alleged.

An image of the girl showed her with a badly swollen right eye and face after the incident.

But the girl’s family claimed the teacher was not suspended and continued to teach following the allegations until four days later when the viral video was leaked and police became involved.

Local authorities, including officials from the county’s education bureau, said they were investigating the child abuse accusations, but did not say whether the girl’s teacher had been arrested at the time of writing.

The schoolgirl is reportedly still recovering from her injuries.
