A teacher in China who was caught on camera kissing a student in his office has been fired.
Mr Xu was filmed by other students as he groped the 16-year-old girl at a school in the Yubei District of Chongqing, southwest China.
The 30-second clip, captured on a mobile phone, caused outcry when it was posted online days ago, according to the People's Daily Online.
A message alongside the clip read: '26th April 2015 in Chongqing Liangjiang Middle School mathematics teacher filmed hugging and kissing a female student in the XXXX office'.
The video shows the balding and bespectacled teacher fondling and kissing the teenager by his office window as she turns her head away, seemingly trying to resist his advances.
He then grabs her round the waist and starts kissing her neck.

The shocking footage has attracted a lot of public attention and debate across China, with calls for action to be taken against the school.
The local government and the Yubei District Board of Education have both launched investigations, since the video emerged.

The board of education announced that Xu has already been sacked while investigations into other personnel at the school were ongoing.
A statement from the school read: 'He severely violated the teachers' guide for professional conduct and he has been dismissed from his position.
