Counselor: "Invisible Wall"
Blocking safety and interpersonal interactions
"Why has the dormitory bed fence become an 'invisible wall' for safety hazards and interpersonal communication?" said a counselor signed article on the website of Nanyang Normal University in Henan Province on March 28, explaining in detail why "the seemingly simple decorative act of hanging a bed fence is often strictly restricted by the school."
According to the article, the bed circumference, as a kind of cloth or plastic shield, is very easy to ignite and become a medium for the acceleration of the fire. In 2019, a female student at a university forgot to turn off the power after using an illegal electrical appliance "electric splint" in her dormitory, and when her roommates were all going to class, the electric splint continued to heat, causing a fire, which quickly ignited the bed wall next to her, and then began to burn in a large area, and a fire broke out in the dormitory.
In addition, "dormitory administrators may need to frequently lift the bed girth when checking hygiene and facilities, which not only increases the workload, but may also cause dissatisfaction among students, and it seems unfair not to lift the bed girth for inspection." In the event of a student illness or other emergency, bed circumference may hinder timely detection and rescue, the article said. In June 2020, a school official said that there had been an incident in the dormitory where a student fell ill and died in a bed covered by the bed enclosure, and was not discovered by a roommate until two days later.
According to the article, the bed wall usually encloses the bed tightly, resulting in poor air circulation, which is easy to breed bacteria, mites and other harmful substances, posing a threat to students' respiratory system and skin health. Especially when heating or air conditioning is used in winter or summer, bed circumference can hinder the even distribution of hot and cold air, resulting in uneven temperatures in the dormitory. When the bed is hung up, the ventilation and lighting in the dormitory will be affected. Being in such an environment for a long time is not only not conducive to physical health, but may also cause psychological depression. If the material and design of the bed circumference does not meet safety standards, there may be risks such as strangulation and suffocation, especially for sleeping students.
"The dormitory is not only a place to rest, but also an important place for students to exchange feelings and build friendships. The article said that the existence of the bed fence has invisibly erected an "invisible wall" in the dormitory, hindering the communication and communication between students. Some students reported that because their roommates hung up their beds, they felt that there was less communication between them, and the dormitory atmosphere became indifferent. In the long run, this kind of estrangement can lead to interpersonal tensions and even conflicts in the dormitory. Dormitory life is a key scenario for college students to exercise their social skills, and a moderate shared space helps students to open their hearts, respect each other, and understand and tolerate each other. Hanging bed fences may make students pay too much attention to personal space and ignore the collective interest, which is not conducive to cultivating students' teamwork spirit and sense of public responsibility. In the absence of beds, it is easier for students to interact face-to-face and participate in group activities in the dormitory, which leads to closer team spirit and friendship.
In response to the statement of the counselor in the article
Some netizens expressed their disagreement
"Interpersonal communication has nothing to do with bed curtains"
Colleges and universities in many places prohibit students from hanging bed curtains
"Just imagine, if everyone lives behind the bed curtain, I wonder if there will still be a 'brother who sleeps on my top bunk' feeling?" A school published an article on March 20 "Closing the bed curtain, "blocking" safety", saying that in recent years, more and more college students like to hang bed curtains. There are many reasons, such as: playing games by yourself affects the rest of others, can better protect your privacy, etc. However, the hanging bed curtain in the dormitory has serious potential safety hazards, which affects the cleanliness and lighting of the dormitory, affects the physical and mental health of students, and is not conducive to the communication between students.
Previously, Jilin Agricultural University had issued the "Work Arrangement for Safety and Fire Prevention in Student Apartments" in November 2023, and it was strictly forbidden to hang bed curtains and hanging chairs in the dormitory. In July 2023, China University of Petroleum (East China) also issued the "Notice on Carrying out Special Rectification Work on Safety and Health in Student Dormitories", prohibiting the hanging of bed curtains.
At present, Beijing and other places have clearly stipulated in the "Acceptance Standards for Standardized Apartments in Colleges and Universities" that there should be no beds in the dormitories. According to the news on the website of Communication University of China in October 2019, the logistics service hall of Communication University of China revealed in response to students' comments about "why bed curtains are prohibited in the dormitory", and the "Acceptance Standards for Standardized Apartments of Beijing Universities" stipulates that there are no beds in the dormitory.
The Paper noted that the "Standards for Standardized Student Apartments in Beijing Colleges and Universities (2008 Edition)" mentions in the "Health and Environment" section that "no bed circumference" is worth 1 point, and the "Acceptance Standards for Standardized Student Apartments in Beijing Colleges and Universities (2016 Edition)" also stipulates that "no bed" is worth 0.5 points.
However, the "National Guiding Standards for the Establishment of Standardized Student Apartments in Colleges and Universities (Trial) (2016)" does not mention bed curtains and curtains in the "Hygiene and Environment" section, but only stipulates that the beds are neat and tidy, and the quilts and pillows are placed on one side. Doors, windows, screens, curtains, fans, air conditioners, etc. are clean and intact. The room is well ventilated and odorless.
Beibei wants to say
Bed curtains are flammable
Bed curtains are hung in the dormitory
There are certain fire safety hazards!!
In the event of a misfire
There is a possibility that the fire will spread rapidly along the curtain
Student dormitories are crowded places
There was a fire accident
It is very easy to cause loss of life and property
01
On May 5, 2008, a fire broke out in the S0601 women's dormitory on the 6th floor of Building 28 of Minzu University of China. The dormitory building that caught fire can accommodate more than 3,000 students. Most of the students were in the building when the fire broke out, but fortunately, firefighters arrived in time to evacuate 1,000 students, and the accident caused no casualties. The initial fire in the dormitory was a power strip on a shelf where two rechargeable lamps were plugged into the patch board and another power strip that led out. The wiring board is not connected with the electrical plug in a standardized manner, and the electrical circuit is short-circuited due to long-term charging, and the spark ignites the cloth curtain and other combustibles near the wiring board and spreads upwards to cause a fire.

At about 3 a.m. on May 23, 1997, Hou Yingxiang, a student at the Dongbo Township Central School in Funing County, Yunnan Province, lit a candle in a mosquito net on his bed and read a book. The fire caused 21 students to death, injured 2 people, burned 24 square meters of dormitories, and suffered a direct economic loss of 15,000 yuan.
