On September 12, 2026, a teacher at Wenshan Experimental Primary School in Wenshan, Yunnan Province, required first‑grade students in a classroom to give a routine presentation and recite “I Love Our Motherland,” then organized a fully coordinated drill with identical movements. Netizens described the on‑site performance as “North Korean‑style.” The activity was completed within the school and later sparked a large number of comments on social media, with netizens questioning the coercive nature of the teaching method and its suppression of children’s natural instincts.
