After spending 40 hours playing the online game King of Glory, a 17-year-old boy had a stroke and nearly died. This happened in Guangzhou in April last year. It shows how bad things can get if one becomes addicted to the Internet.

Among China’s 772 million Internet users, about 151 million of them are between the ages of 10 and 19, according to China Internet Network Information Center. It is necessary for parents and school to educate children to use the Internet in a good way.

To stop more teenagers from becoming addicted to the Internet, the Ministry of Education(MOE)(教育部) sent a letter on April 20 to all parents in China. It calls on them to pay more attention(注意) to their children’s online activities. It is also advised that children should limit their screen time to less than 1.5 hours a day.In South Korea, there’s a law that stops children under the age of 16 from playing online games between midnight and 6 am.

The MOE also sent a notice to primary and middle schools, asking them to monitor(监督) students’ Internet use including smart phones. Internet is full of all kinds of information. Some is useful and proper for students, helping them know more about the world while others may not. Schools are told to teach students how to avoid unhealthy content, such as violence(暴力) or vulgar(粗俗的) languages.

MOE’s messages leave us to think about why some of our children choose to sit before the screen day and night instead of going out to breathe the fresh air. Maybe children should develop some healthy habits, like reading, playing sports and playing instruments. Also, it’s better to fill children’s weekends with family activities like doing housework together or visiting somewhere. The Internet can be part of children’s life but not everything.

Millions of people across China will crowd onto trains and buses next February, hurrying home to be with their families for the country’s most important holidays, Lunar New Year, or the Spring Festival. February 4th, 2019 marks the end of the Year of the Dog.

History of the Holiday

According to an ancient legend, Buddha(佛祖)asked all the animals to meet him on Lunar New Year. Twelve animals came, and Buddha named a year after each one.

The Year of Good Luck

Buddha announced that people born in each animal’s year would have some of that animal’s personality. If you were born in 1970, 1982, 1994 or 2006, you were born in the year of the Dog. In ancient times, the dog is considered the best symbol for honesty and loyalty(忠诚). People who were born in these years are believed to be honest, brave and filled with good luck and strength. They are said to get along best with people born in the year of the Tiger, Rat or Horse.

Festivals, Lions and Feasts(筵席)

On Lunar New Year’s Eve, the Chinese celebrate with fireworks and family gatherings. One of the most popular ways to celebrate the holiday is with the lion dance. During celebrations, dancers dressed as lions perform. The dancers are supposed to bring good luck to people. People often wear red. Legend has it that red can drive away bad luck.

The 15-day New Year season is celebrated with firecrackers, dragon dances and visits to friends and family. The celebrations end with the Lantern Festival, when brightly colored lamps are hung in parks around China.
