The disappearance of a teen gripped China. The discovery of his body raised more questions
CNN
For three months, the disappearance of Hu Xinyu gripped China.
The whereabouts of the 15-year-old, who vanished from a boarding school in southern Jiangxi province in October, was for months among the most discussed topics on the Chinese internet.
It prompted numerous questions, speculation and round after round of exhaustive police searches – including one joined by thousands of residents earlier this month.
Then, on Sunday – more than 100 days after Hu went missing – local police said Hu’s body had been found in the woods near his school.
The discovery was made by a member of the public on Thursday. The body was wearing clothes matching those Hu wore when he went missing, prompting police to summon his family and their lawyer to the scene.
DNA tests later confirmed the body to be Hu, police in Shangrao city said in a statement.
A voice recorder found near the body had been sent for analysis, the statement said.
But rather than bring closure, the discovery has only raised more questions as to the circumstances surrounding his death.
Hu’s death was the top trending topic on China’s Twitter-like Weibo on Monday, with several hashtags raking up hundreds of millions of views.
Many comments questioned why the extensive police searches – complete with sniffer dogs, drones and thermal imaging equipment – failed to discover the body in an area so close to the school.
The woodland where Hu was found is only five minutes’ walk from the school, separated by a campus wall about two meters high, China National Radio reported.
An autopsy has been conducted, but the results have not been released, according to The Paper, a state-run news website.
It is not rare for children and teenagers to go missing in China, but the disappearance of Hu is one of the most high-profile cases in recent years. According to the Zhongmin Social Assistance Institute, a Beijing-based nonprofit, a million people went missing in China in 2020 – an average of 2,739 per day.
Hu had just started studying at the Zhiyuan High School, a private boarding school Yanshan county.
He was last seen on security camera footage walking down a hallway in his dormitory at dusk on October 14, about 15 minutes before an evening studying session was due to start in the classroom, according to police.
Hu disappeared somewhere between the dormitory and the teaching building, in an area that was not covered by security cameras, state media reported.
Hu’s family was notified by the school of Hu’s disappearance about six hours later, the family said in a missing person notice. Hu left his smart watch and cash in the dorm, carrying with him only a digital voice recorder and a school card used to pay for meals on campus, according to the notice.
As the investigations and searches failed to lead to any progress, baseless speculation swirled online.
In response, police released a detailed statement on January 7 making clear they had found no evidence that Hu was murdered, or had been involved in an accident inside the school. Hu likely left campus on his own, the police said.
The statement also detailed extensive police search efforts, covering nearly 40 hectares of woodland near the school, 200 kilometers of river, 22 kilometers of rail tracks, and 72 ponds and 3 reservoirs.
The search continued after January 7, involving thousands of people, including local residents who volunteered to join, state media reported at the time.

It is not rare for children and teenagers to go missing in China, but the disappearance of Hu is one of the most high-profile cases in recent years. According to the Zhongmin Social Assistance Institute, a Beijing-based nonprofit, a million people went missing in China in 2020 – an average of 2,739 per day.
在中国，儿童和青少年失踪的情况并不罕见，但胡鑫宇的失踪是近年来最引人注目的案件之一。根据总部设在北京的非营利组织中民社会救助研究院的数据，2020年中国有100万人失踪（平均每天2739人）。
profile

胡鑫宇刚刚开始在铅山县私立寄宿学校致远中学学习。
He was last seen on security camera footage walking down a hallway in his dormitory at dusk on October 14, about 15 minutes before an evening studying session was due to start in the classroom, according to police.

补充：
📍closed-circuit footage指的是监控录像画面；
📍CCTV：此CCTV非彼CCTV，其中的CC就是Closed Circuit的缩写，TV就是电视Television的缩写。
📍 那么CCTV，闭路电视什么意思呢？据维基百科，闭路电视（简称CCTV）是指在特定的区域进行视频传输，并只在固定回路设备里播放的电视系统。例如录像机、大楼内的监视器等。这类播放模式就被称作闭路电视。下次你可以观察下监控摄像头墙边上是不是有CCTV的字样。

据官方媒体报道，胡鑫宇消失在宿舍和教学楼之间的某个地方，一个没有安全摄像头覆盖的区域。
Hu’s family was notified by the school of Hu’s disappearance about six hours later, the family said in a missing person notice. Hu left his smart watch and cash in the dorm, carrying with him only a digital voice recorder and a school card used to pay for meals on campus, according to the notice.

As the investigations and searches failed to lead to any progress, baseless speculation swirled online.
由于调查和搜查未能取得任何进展，网上充斥着毫无根据的猜测。
swirl
swirl /swɜːl/ 原意表示“使（液态、流动的物质）快速旋流；（液态、流动的物质）快速旋流”，英文解释为“If you swirl something liquid or flowing, or if it swirls, it moves around and around quickly.”显然，这里不是旋动，转动的意思，此处可以引申为“流传，传播”的意思，类似于spread或者是circulate，举个🌰：
Rumours have swirled for years that he is on the point of retiring. 多年来一直有传言说他快要退休了。
📍circulate有“传播；流传；散布”的含义（if a story, an idea, information, etc. circulates or if you circulate it, it spreads or it is passed from one person to another），举个🌰：
Rumours began to circulate about his financial problems. 有关他财务困难的谣言开始流传开来。
In response, police released a detailed statement on January 7 making clear they had found no evidence that Hu was murdered, or had been involved in an accident inside the school. Hu likely left campus on his own, the police said.
作为回应，警方于1月7日发布了一份详细的声明，明确表示未发现任何证据表明胡鑫宇被害，或在校内与他人发生矛盾冲突。警方称，胡鑫宇可能是自己离开校园的。
The statement also detailed extensive police search efforts, covering nearly 40 hectares of woodland near the school, 200 kilometers of river, 22 kilometers of rail tracks, and 72 ponds and 3 reservoirs.
声明还详细说明了警方的广泛搜索工作，包括学校附近近40公顷的林地、200公里的河流、22公里的铁路沿线、72个水塘和3个水库。
hectare
hectare /ˈhek.teər/ 表示“公顷”，英文解释为“a unit of measurement of an area of land”
1公顷 (ha) = 15亩
1亩 = 0.0666667公顷(ha)
40公顷 ≈ 600 亩
reservoir
reservoir /ˈrez.ə.vwɑːr/ 1）表示“水库；蓄水池”，英文解释为“a place for storing liquid, especially a natural or artificial lake providing water for a city or other area”
2）表示“储备；储藏；宝库”，英文解释为“a large supply of something”举个🌰：
The universities constitute a reservoir of expert knowledge. 大学是专业知识的宝库。
