At 0:54 on December 3, 2022, Song Jiayi's mother received a call from her daughter's roommate, telling her that Song Jiayi fell from the upper bunk and fell into a coma after the lights were turned off. When I arrived at the hospital, it was already around 1:41 in the morning. There were only two 17-year-old classmates accompanying Song Jiayi in the hospital, and there were no school teachers and dormitory supervisors present.

Song's mother handled the payment by herself, and found a car to take her daughter's classmate back to school.

Song Jiayi was transferred to the new ward of Suzhou First People's Hospital at 4:44 a.m. for surgery due to her severe head injury. The class teacher did not visit the hospital until 2 p.m. He was declared dead at 19:16 on the 5th.

Song's mother broke the news to the Chinese media, and the incident came to light on the 12th of this month.

She went back to her daughter’s dormitory to measure and found that the bed was 190 centimeters above the ground, but the iron guardrail beside the bed was only about 15 centimeters, and the bed was almost as high as the guardrail. This is a new type of bed frame. Before my daughter was alive, many students complained that the guardrail of the upper bunk was unstable and too low, and some students fell down and injured themselves while sleeping.

Song's mother complained that her daughter's tuition fee was more than RMB 10,000 (converted to more than NT$45,000), medical expenses and funeral expenses exceeded RMB 200,000 (contract NT$903,000), but the school not only did not apologize, As of the 12th of this month, the compensation was only RMB 50,000 (contract NT$ 225,000), and the problematic bed frame has not been improved for a long time.

Song Jiayi's family plans to file a lawsuit against the school, asking the school to publish an apology in the newspaper, hold a memorial service for Song Jiayi in the school, and improve all the problematic bed frames in the school, and at the same time compensate according to the verdict.

In this regard, the school and the Suzhou Education Bureau did not answer the phone and did not respond.
