The original post, from a user called “A_FloatingOnTheNorthWind_hkc” (@A北风飘飘_hkc), reads:
Chinese people have the right to move freely on their own home soil. Beijing is a city belonging to China, and I’ve been admitted here [for work], so a school desk should be provided for my child. It is right and unalterable for children to live with their parents!
The original Chinese post follows:
中国人有权在自己国土自由迁徙，北京属于中国的一个城市，这儿接纳了我，就应该给我孩子一张课桌，孩子随父母生活天经地义！
