The situation not only happened in a kindergarten, local parents were worried and also took their children to cross-provincial testing. Unexpectedly, on July 5, local officials in Gansu rushed to Xi’an.

If their children stay in Xi’an for treatment, they would have to bear the medical expenses at their own expense; if they want free treatment, they must return to the designated medical institution in Tianshui. Some local Communist cadres even called “congratulations” to their parents, saying that Xi’an hospital is for profit and the data is inaccurate; although Xi’an has specially opened a clinic to receive school children from Tianshui City for blood lead testing, some parents have protested that the test results have not been released for a long time, resulting in the child being unable to be admitted to the hospital for treatment according to the procedure.

After the incident continued to spread, several parents who insisted on speaking out said that they received a call from the police and were asked to delete the community video and said that the case was only for the behavior of individual kindergarten operators, “I believe in the government and law enforcement agencies serve the people.” There were also a large number of uniformed police officers and plainclothes maintenance reports at the kindergarten gate.
