Students are using a coffin as seats. 

Students at a village in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, who have been holding classes in a dangerous house and using a coffin as seats for four years, will move to a new school building in May.

Up to April 27, the students were still using the house in Du'an, which was rented from a local person who was unable to provide desks and chairs, so he provided a coffin, which is intended for his 80-year-old mother when she dies, as seats for 19 students.

Lu Cheng, director of local education bureau, promised on April 14 that all the students will have classes in a safe building by the middle of May.
