The Hong Kong SAR government plans to reclaim the funds it donated to rebuild an earthquake-devastated school in Sichuan Province, after local authorities pulled down the school for a massive real estate project, Shanghai Daily reported.

The Hong Kong government and Hong Kong Federation of Education Workers donated HK$2 million each to Mianyang, a quake-hit city in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. The federation said it has no plan to reclaim its donation.

But the Zijing Ethnic Minorities Middle School, which was rebuilt in 2010 for minority students from the Aba Prefecture, has been demolished to make room for a large-scale commercial housing project by a private developer.

Earlier media reports claimed that Dalian Wanda Commercial Properties Co. Ltd. has already started work on the project.

The People's Daily Online reported the city's intention was to rebuild the school with better facilities to an education park which will open in August next year.

据《上海日报》报道，香港特别行政区政府计划收回捐赠给四川地震灾区、用于重建学校的款项，原因是当地政府为大型房地产项目让位，已将该校拆除。

香港特区政府、香港教育工作者联会曾分别向2008年四川地震中受灾的绵阳市捐赠200万港币。后者表示不会收回捐赠款。

绵阳紫荆民族中学于2010年建成，学生都是来自阿坝自治州的少数民族。目前学校已被拆除，让位给私营开发商投资的大型商业住宅区。

早前媒体报道称，大连万达商业地产股份有限公司的这一项目已开始动工。

据人民网报道，绵阳市的意图是在明年8月落成的教育园区重建该校，并且设施将会更好。
