The family members who rushed to the hospital were very sad. , friends from the same year met on a trip to celebrate, “I just said that I went to Xiaowu to play with my high school admitted classmates, but I didn’t expect to go to play in the water, and I died playing!”

The grandfather and uncle of the student surnamed Su said that they couldn’t accept the bad news at all. The child was brought up from a young age, and no matter what, they rushed to the hospital when they heard the news. They didn’t know what happened to the child. The two students on the shore will know the scene.

The grandfather surnamed Su choked up and said that his grandson is a good boy, just like ordinary children, playing basketball and going out for a walk. Today, when he heard that the exam-free entrance examination was announced, he went out with his classmates; the uncle surnamed Su also said that the seven of them are good friends , I received the high school admission notice today, had lunch with my children at noon, and made an appointment to go out to Xiaowulai together at almost 1 in the afternoon.

The water play area, which was open from June to September in previous years, was canceled due to the project. The overall project is expected to be completed by the end of October this year.
