Students tie colorful pieces of paper with words such as, "Wish a holiday" or "today is off," to a tree in the school yard.



(ECNS) -- Students at a high school in Hunan province expressed their wishes for a holiday on a tree, as they got only three and a half days off in a whole month, a local news website reported.


On Mid-Autumn Day, the students at Yueyang County No. 2 Middle School in northeast Hunan's Yueyang city had classes into the night, Hunan-based rednet.cn said. Between classes, many students tied colorful pieces of paper with words such as, "Wish a holiday" or "today is off," to a tree in the school yard.


"Mid-Autumn holiday is an extravagant expectation," one student said. Students told reporters that they have no weekends, no holidays and only get three and a half days off a month to go back home.


A deputy headmaster at the school said many students' homes are too far away, so it is unsafe for them to go back every weekend, and would be tough for the school to manage.
