Over 30 students narrowly avoided massive mudslides on their way back to school in southern China.

The dramatic video, shot in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province on August 27, shows a large amount of mud sweeping down mountains.

According to reports, teachers, leaders of the village and more than 20 parents escorted the students to walk to the school in the town.

The adults reportedly spotted the mudslides three times and shouted for the students to run, so they could avoid the mudslides in time.

The students and adults have since passed through the area safely. The mudslides blocked the road and diggers were needed to clear the road.

连日来，四川凉山多地出现强降雨天气。8月27日，四川盐源县出现降雨天气，30余名学生在返校上学途中突然遇上泥石流，万幸的是，护送的村干部及家长及时发现灾害征兆，大声喊“跑”，孩子们躲过了一劫。
8月29日，当地的一位村民在接受记者采访时表示，泥石流发生的地点在盐源县梅子坪镇梅子坪村。据他介绍，当天甘家堡子村的孩子们要去县城等地读书，“因最近降雨天气比较多，我们这里离县城也比较远，不放心孩子单独出行，于是组队由家长及村干部护送。”
记者了解到，当时，盐源县梅子坪镇梅子坪村的30余名学生，在村干部、老师和20多名家长的带领下，正欲通过该处时，先后发生了三小股泥石流。
当天，在经过事发路段时，大人们发现不对劲，连忙大声喊：“跑！”孩子们才及时躲过了泥石流。危急时刻，同行的大人把学生们疏散到百米开外的地方，大人观察情势，直到将近一个小时后，这里发生了更大规模的泥石流，但此时，大家都处于非常安全的地带，
记者采访后得知，泥石流过后，这支求学的队伍在村干部、老师和家长的带领下，顺利通过该路段。
“当天全部都平安通过了。”该村民表示，泥石流造成了道路的阻断，现在人可以过，但是车子还不行，要联系挖掘机来进行疏通。“这个地方不是地质灾害隐患点，第一次发生泥石流。”（视频由四川台提供）
