According to posts on Weibo, a high school in Luoyang city in the Henan province has divided its cafeteria into two gender-specific areas with a literal red line in order to prevent students from romantically feeding each other and falling in love.

Cafeteria monitors are on guard with cameras, ready to take photographic evidence when they catch a student sitting with the opposite sex. Photos are then put up on the school bulletin board for everyone to see.

The school principal, Li Xin Nian, told reporters, “The school currently has over 3000 students, they’re all 17 or 18, and before in the cafeteria we discovered that male and female students were feeding each other, creating a bad influence. Some students have started dating during the semester, which has impacted their studies. This is the school’s internal way to manage the situation, preventing students from feeding each other and dating.” (translated from Chinese)
