The combination of words such as college dormitories, inflatable dolls, burning, and fire creates an absurd scene, causing netizens to exclaim that the actions of the college students involved are too provocative. This seemingly absurd incident has exposed the misconduct of contemporary college students and hidden concerns in university management, which is worthy of our deep reflection.

The act of college students burning inflatable dolls sounds unbelievable. The combustion of silicone products can produce toxic gases, and as a public space, the consequences of a fire in dormitories are unimaginable. However, this student chose to take the risk. Behind this, there may be complex psychological motivations hidden.

On the one hand, this may be an extreme manifestation of the psychological venting needs of college students. In today's fast-paced and high-pressure environment, college students are facing multiple pressures such as academic performance, employment, and interpersonal relationships. When these pressures cannot be effectively released, they may choose an extreme way to vent their emotions. Burning inflatable dolls may be one of their chosen 'emotional outlets'.

On the other hand, this behavior may also be related to psychological issues such as loneliness and social barriers. In today's world where virtual networks are prevalent, many college students are addicted to the online world and neglect social interaction in real life. They lack effective communication with others, leading to emotional loneliness and social barriers.

In addition, the misleading information on the internet may also have a negative impact on the behavior of college students. Some platforms, in order to attract traffic and attention, are willing to publish vulgar and sensational content, rationalizing unconventional behavior. The dissemination of this information will also have a subtle impact on the values of college students.

The ban on open flames in the dormitory is basic safety knowledge, but this student chose to ignore it. This is not only a disregard for rules, but also a serious threat to public safety. Similar incidents are not uncommon in universities: self ignition of power banks, boiling hot pot with water dispensers, drying clothes with hair dryers, etc. Behind these behaviors, it reflects the lack of rule awareness and disregard for public safety among college students.

The lack of rule awareness not only leads to the loss of control of individual behavior, but also may trigger a chain reaction, causing adverse effects on the entire campus. When 'violating regulations' becomes a way to promote individuality, the bottom line and rules of society will be constantly challenged and broken. This will cause serious public safety accidents and disrupt campus harmony.

The continuous infiltration of consumerism and online curiosity culture has also exacerbated the behavioral misconduct of young people to a certain extent. The quiet popularity of inflatable dolls, bizarre products, and other products reflects the profound influence of consumerism on the values of young people. Some platforms, in order to attract traffic and attention, are willing to publish vulgar and sensational content, further blurring the boundary between morality and law.

In this cultural atmosphere, young people are easily trapped in a "pursuit of fun" trap. They neglect their responsibilities and obligations, putting personal happiness first. The distortion of these values can lead to uncontrolled personal behavior.

Wang Xiaobo once said, "People should not only pursue fun in this world, but also pursue responsibility." Universities need to break through the situation from three aspects.

Firstly, psychological intervention needs to be pre emptive. Universities should establish a regular psychological counseling mechanism and pay attention to students' mental sub-health issues. Through professional psychological counseling, help students relieve stress, adjust their mentality, and enhance their self-control ability.

Secondly, the sense of responsibility needs to be concretized. Universities should integrate safety education into daily teaching, through simulating fire scenarios, analyzing real cases, and other methods, to make students deeply aware of the importance of rule awareness and public safety. At the same time, strengthen the guidance and supervision of student behavior norms to ensure that they can consciously abide by school rules and discipline.

Thirdly, universities need to strengthen their connections and cooperation with society, provide more practical opportunities for college students, help them better integrate into and understand society, and cultivate their sense of social responsibility and citizenship.

Conclusion at the end of the article：

The "playing with fire" incident at Hefei University of Technology, although absurd, has sounded the alarm for our university. When curiosity crosses the bottom line, the cost may be unbearable for life. Universities should reflect on the shortcomings in curriculum design, psychological intervention, and sense of responsibility in this matter, and make improvements to provide a healthier, more positive, and upward growth environment for college students.
