Affected by the epidemic, schools from kindergartens to universities in China have postponed the start of the new semester and have started online teaching.
Education is the foundation of a country, and using the internet for teaching during the epidemic is a serious matter. However, due to the proliferation of sensitive words on the internet in China, many universities and schools have encountered embarrassing situations such as course materials being blocked and live streaming classrooms being banned.
How did the teaching content designated by the Ministry of Education become the target of blocking and banning online?
The first to be banned were medical physiology classes, with multiple human organ terms becoming sensitive words on the internet. A nursing teacher complained that her lecture on QQ was banned within a few seconds, because it was deemed to involve inappropriate content.
Biology classes have also been heavily affected. The live streaming classroom of a high school biology course in Rui'an was banned because it was suspected of spreading obscene and pornographic information.
Even political classes are not exempt. There was a case revealed on the Douyin platform where a political teacher's live streaming classroom was banned for discussing political topics.
Following closely behind are history classes, which are still difficult to avoid being banned during live teaching.
Lu Xun, who is in the Chinese language textbook, has already been mostly removed, so it should be relatively safe to teach, but it is still not allowed: the content explained by the Chinese language teacher was blocked in QQ groups.
Comparatively, English classes are relatively safer, after all, English is a language barrier for internet administrators. However, there have also been cases of English classes being banned during live streaming.
Currently, the safest seems to be online physical education classes, as they do not involve sensitive content. However, there have been cases where schools organizing online flag-raising ceremonies were still banned.
If you take a quick look on Weibo, there are a bunch of netizens reacting under the topic of online classes being banned.
Students laugh in the face of online class bans, while teachers remind each other cautiously. Serious media turns a blind eye to the banning of online classes, while self-media treats it as joke material.
The teaching content designated by the Ministry of Education has actually become the content that is blocked and banned on the internet. If it weren't for this large-scale online teaching during the epidemic, students and teachers probably wouldn't have such a clear understanding:
Our internet is sick.
Our internet is filled with reports and sensitive words, filled with typos that can only be made. Normal communication and exchange can only be found in the gaps between these restrictions.
What's even more frightening is that we have gradually adapted to this sick internet, using more and more coded language and metaphors for communication, treating being banned, deleted, and blocked as a daily occurrence.
Including at this moment, we are cautiously writing this article.
For the future, we are deeply concerned.
