homework. But now, everything has
changed.
For
12-year-old Liu Xiangjian, the most difficult
thing in life is getting up at 5:50 . every school
day.
“I don’t
want to get up so early, but I used to be afraid
of being late,” the six
-grade Beijing

student said, “I want
more sleep.”
Liu has breakfast at 6:15 ., and after
a 30-minute bus ride, arrives at school at 7 .
Like most of his 28 classmates,
Liu
arrives at school a full hour before lessons start
at 8 .
In
2007, a survey of 2500 schoolchildren in six
cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, it was
found that about
77% students were
short of sleep.
In a recent
survey made by the China Daily website, almost 70%
of the 1,130 respondents said that they agreed
with cutting school hours, while 22%
disagreed and 10% had no comment.
Although their children
spend long hours at school, many parents arrange
for them to take more studies.
Liu’s mother, Wang Qunyu,
who teaches at a high school in Beijing, thinks
her son is still not doing enough to
win a place at a good quality high
school.
“Of
course I want
my son to have more sleep, more exercise and more
fun,’ she said, “but the common saying
is that if you give your child a happy
childhood in China, you give him failed
future.”
Something must be done to change
people’s traditional though

college diploma
（毕业证）
is a ticket to
a good
job.

the survey had no comments
