The classroom is not only a place for the transfer of knowledge and skills, but also a key environment for shaping values and socialization. In the context of Chinese society, the system of education and teaching fields is deeply influenced by Confucian culture, which invisibly strengthens the formation of social inequality and power hierarchies in the classroom. By using the modern technology of immersive games, this work constructs a virtual classroom scene, in which the seating layout subtly metaphorizes class divisions and unfair treatment in the classroom. While students' seats in a classroom may appear to indicate their status, no matter where they sit, they are actually in the same space, subject to the same rules and restrictions. In this space framed by norms and power, everyone cannot truly break away from their given identity, and the same is true for teachers. Through the power dynamics that shape classroom spaces, the work aims to critically reveal the issues that still exist in China's education system today.
