A photo of students attending a ceremony, hold kickstands of a set at their high school in cold winds was uploaded to a micro blog, Guangzhou Daily reported.

The high school is located in Lantian county, Shaanxi province. On Dec 7, a cold windy day, when the ceremony was interrupted by the wind, some students were asked to help hold up the kickstands of a set for the project ceremony.

The school said it was just trying to prevent the set from being blown down by the strong winds.
