A high school student in northwestern China has been re-instated after she was expelled for smuggling deep-fried pancakes over a wall into a campus locked down due to Covid-19.An online backlash has forced a school in northwestern China to reverse a decision it took to expel a student for selling homemade pancakes "smuggled" onto a campus which was under Covid-19 lockdown.
The memo said her behaviour had breached the school's "repeated anti-Covid policies" and "posed an extremely big threat to the health of all teachers and students in school". No-one subsequently tested positive for the virus. Her family passed the pancakes to her by climbing up a wall behind her dormitory using a ladder. After delivery, she sold them to her schoolmates, said Wei.
