PUXIAN, Shanxi, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) -- Mystery continues
to surround the sudden death of six pupils in a tiny primary school in north
China's Shanxi province.
Two boys and four girls aged six to ten became
violently ill after eating supper Monday evening at a primary school in Nanyao
Village, Puxian County, Linfen City.
Just over an hour later, they were dead -- before
getting to hospital.
Because they became violently ill it was first
thought they had died of food poisoning.
But food poisoning was ruled out of as the cause of
death after vomit samples were analyzed, Yang Zhiping, party chief of Puxian,
told Xinhua.
Nanyao Village primary school only has 11 pupils who
are all boarders. On Tuesday, the other five students were transferred to a
nearby school.
The provincial education bureau ordered schools to
strengthen food safety checkups and management and raise health awareness among
students and staff at school canteens.
It also ordered schools to ban canteen staff from
entering the food processing and storage rooms.
"The tragic event has set off alarm bells in our
schools, and we must learn a lesson from it," said Yang Zhiping.
But the questions remain: what did the children die
of? What lesson can be learned when the cause of death is still a mystery?
