TechNews, February 19th - As the Spring Festival holiday comes to an end, many people have started to return to work, and it's time for children to focus on their studies again.
Recently, a video went viral online, showing that even elementary school students need a sense of ceremony when starting their study sessions. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, a parent in Jining, Shandong Province held a phone-sealing ceremony for their child.
From the video, it's evident that the children were reluctant and saddened to hand over their phones, but in exchange, they received books. The contrast between the two is undoubtedly challenging for them.
Some netizens commented on the scene, expressing sympathy for the children's unwillingness. However, they acknowledged that there's no choice. Others mentioned that during their own school days, they didn't have phones to play with; it was only after entering university that they encountered this gadget. They remarked on the diverse entertainment options available to today's children, indicating their relative luxury.
Furthermore, some netizens speculated that if adults were in the same situation, they wouldn't be able to endure even a minute without their phones; time would pass like a snail's pace.
In fact, many schools in China currently prohibit students from bringing phones to school, let alone using them on campus. Therefore, even if parents don't enforce such restrictions at home, the consequences are foreseeable.
