Chinese children attend a self-defense class at a Kung fu school.

中國孩童們在一家功夫學校，參加一項自我防衛的課程。

It’s a growing response to many deadly attacks that have taken place in Chinese schools in recent months, the first of these in March, when an unemployed doctor killed eight children and injured five others at a primary school.

這項課程的成長，是最近數月以來發生了許多中國學校死亡攻擊事件的反映。

第一次在三月，ㄧ位失業的醫生在國小殺害了八位學童，並造成五位學童受傷。

Kung fu Instructor Zhang Xiaohang now teaches about 10 classes per week, a total of more than 60 kids.

功夫師傅張曉漢現在每周教授十堂課，總共有超過六十名小孩。

[Zhang Xiaohang, Head Kung Fu Instructor, Changzhen Kung Fu School]:

“There have been many changes recently. Before, only one or two students would come to class, but since last week, we have received about 30 inquiries. A lot of parents register their children for the self-defense class without much hesitation. This trend did not exist before. Parents are putting more emphasis on children’s safety."

[張曉漢，功夫總教練，長禎功夫學校]：

最近有很大的改變，以前只有一、二位學生來上課，但是自上個星期以來，我們已經接到了超過30位的詢問。很多家長沒有什麼猶豫，就幫小孩報名登記自我保衛的課程。這樣的趨勢以前都沒有過。家長們開始更加注意小孩的安全。

Some children get more out of the classes than just self-defense.

有些小孩在課堂上獲得的，不只是自我防衛。

[Deng Ziheng, Student]:

“I am a little bit fat so I want to lose some weight. Second of all, there have been many school attacks recently and I want to know how to prevent such attacks. So it is best if I learn these skills."

[丁子恆，學生]：

“我有點胖，所以我想減重，其次是最近很多學校遭到攻擊，我想要知道如何去防禦這類的攻擊。所以如果我學習這些技巧，那是最好的。”

Ten-year-old He Shizhou is a two-year veteran of the class. He said that if attacked, he will first try to escape.

十歲的丁子恆在這課堂上，是已學了兩年的老生。他說如果遭到攻擊，

他會先試著逃走。

[He Shizhou, Student]:

“First of all, I will use defense skills my teacher has taught me. If not, I will use my bag to hit the potential attacker."

[何汐洲，學生]：

“首先，我會用老師教的防禦技巧，如果不行，我會用我的提包打攻擊者”

There have been six attacks on Chinese schools in the last two months, leaving 18 people dead and more than 80 wounded.

近兩個月以來，在中國的學校已經發生六起的攻擊事件，造成了18人死亡和超過80人受傷。
