6月7日，高考[1]第一天，上午语文科目[2]开考前几分钟，湖南省隆回县一中高三学生从宿舍楼跳楼[3]，因伤势过重抢救无效死亡。有网友传该生因迟到被拒进考场轻生。
跳楼男生叫吕品， 18岁，隆回一中高三[4]的学生。隆回一中学生介绍，跳楼男生曾因心理问题请假近一个月，考试前夜父母特地赶来做工作[5]，要求他参加高考。一名自称吕品父亲、微博[6]名为"悲痛欲绝[7]的吕清华"的网友，8日凌晨发布微博称，吕品莫名死在宿舍楼旁，"我怀着悲痛欲绝的心情向社会各界求助，讨回一个公道[8]"。
隆回县高考首日究竟有无发生考生跳楼事件？隆回县委宣传部[9]副部长[10]罗佳成表示，该学生坠楼时间早于正式开考时间，因而不存在因考试迟到，被监考[11]老师阻止入场导致自杀的可能。据隆回县公安局[12]办公室主任[13]谭祝田介绍，该考生在高考前半个月时就出现了一些情绪问题，并伴有失眠[14]现象。他认定该考生自杀与其"惧考情绪"[15]有关。
下午，医院确诊[16]已死亡后，死者亲戚在下午考试开始后，用自驾车撞击校门，并将死者的尸体[17]摆放在传达室[18]门口，播放哀乐[19]。保安[20]无奈拨打110(police)，几十名警察[21]与亲戚进行协商，亲戚情绪激动，直至下午的考试完毕。考生在该校领导的组织下从后门走出考场。
June 7th, morning, the first day of the College Entrance Examination (Gaokao), a few minutes before the language course exam begins. A 3rd year high-school student in Longhui county, Hunan province, jumps of the dormitory building. As the injury is very severe, rescue efforts were ineffective in preventing his death. Some internet users have spread (the rumor) that because the student was late and not allowed to attend the examination, he gave up his life.
The student who jumped from the building is called Lu Pin, 18, a 3rd year high-school student in Longhui. A student in Longhui has explained that the guy who fell from the building has missed almost one month (of classes) in the past, because of mental problems. On the night before the exam, his parents came especially to persuade him, demanding that he attends the exam. A person who calls himself Lu Pin's father, and has a micro-blog name of 'the grieved Lu Qinghua', has posted a micro-blog message on the dawn of the 8th, regarding the indescribable death of Lu Pin on the side of the dormitory building, "with emotions filled with immense grieve I address all circles of society asking for aid, demanding some justice."
Did an incident of a student jumping from a building really take place in the first exam day in Longhui county? Vice minister of the Department of Propaganda in Longhui county, Luo Jiacheng, says that the time the student has jumped from the building was earlier than the official time of the exam, therefore it is impossible that because of being late for the exam and being prevented from entering the exam site by the supervising teachers, that the student has committed suicide. According to an explanation given by director of Public Security Bureau of Longhui county, Tan Zhutian, this student has experienced some mood problems about half a month before the Gaokao, along with phenomenon of sleep problems. He firmly believes that the student's suicide has to do with his 'exam phobia'.
On the afternoon, after the hospital already confirmed the death, family members of the deceased, had driven a vehicle and dashed against the school's gate, and placed the deceased remains in the doorway of the reception office, broadcasting funeral music, while the afternoon Gaokao exam had already began. The guards had no choice but to dial 110. Dozens of policemen have consulted with the family members, while the family was very emotional, not finishing before the afternoon exam was completed. Under the organization of school supervisors, the examinees left the exam hall through the back door.

This story has intensified debates concerning two problems associated with the Gaokao: One is the high pressure examinees experience before and during the exam (a problem widely discussed for many years already), and the other is the very strict exam regulations, such as the infelxibility towards students who arrive late, like in the story described above.
