To most of us, home is the safest and warmest place in the world. But seventh graders at Zhenhai Jiaochuan Academy of Ningbo are trying to figure out ways to escape their homes as quickly as possible in case of an emergency.
Teachers asked students to draw emergency evacuation（紧急撤离）maps of their homes to learn about how to escape in the event of a fire.
The project meant a lot to Shen Yechen. When he was younger, the 13-year-old once played with fire and almost burned his family's house down. Since then, the possibility of another fire has always been on his mind. By drawing the map, he said he was able to overcome his fear.
On his map, Shen marked possible sources of fire at home, including the fridge, computer and bookshelves. He said these areas should be avoided in the event of a fire.
While most students only mapped out one evacuation route, Yan Junxiao, 13, made three. Yan and his parents live on the third floor of their building. At first, he thought his family could only escape by going down the stairs. But later, he was inspired by the way his family does laundry.
Usually, Yan's family hangs laundry on their balcony. Sometimes their clothes fall to the second floor because of the wma. Instead of walking down the stairs, Yan's father sometimes climbs down outdoor air-conditioner units to get the clothes.
Does this sound like a good evacuation route? Yan also suggested using a rope to climb out the window. "With so many ways to evacuate, I won't be scared, even if there is a real fire," said Yan.
