In viral videos recorded by the perpetrators and posted on Chinese social media, the boy can first be seen squatting down and dipping his finger into the school toilet bowl where the faeces were.
Reluctant to obey their commands, the boy initially refuses to eat the faeces, pointing out that other students were passing by.
After the other students leave, however, some of his classmates continue their threats, and the boy has no choice but to eat the faeces on his finger.
According to 8world, the student recording the video then forces the boy to swallow it a second time, telling him to "eat it all".
"Is it delicious?" Taunted another student watching the scene.
The students are reportedly from a secondary school in Longyan, Fujian province. Staff of the school said that psychological counselling has been arranged for the student, reported China Daily.
Investigations are ongoing, according to the local education bureau in Longyan.
