Japanese table tennis star Ai Fukuhara expressed special thanks to China and her Chinese fans when she announced on October 21 that she is retiring from the sport.

Looking to the Future

The health of children’s vision is facing new threats as mobile terminals pervade people’s lives.
According to a report on optical health published by Peking University， without effective policy intervention， the number of people suffering from myopia in China will exceed 700 million by 2020. As the age of children suffering from myopia decreases， eight government departments jointly issued a plan aimed at preventing and controlling the disease among children and adolescents.
In reality， whether children should have access to mobiles and whether homework should be done on electronic devices has become of concern to parents and teachers. Some support using electronics in education， claiming that the practice can improve the efficiency of teaching. Others say it can be detrimental to children’s health and promote unfavorable Internet habits.
Technology is now a fundamental part of children’s lives and the key lies with the attitudes of teachers， parents， and manufacturers. Teachers should not solely rely on electronic products but rather teach students how to protect their eyes. Parents should look on electronic products with an open and skeptical mindset and explore how to use them safely. Manufacturers should also develop their products with a view to protecting the health of children’s eyesight.
More importantly， children should be encouraged to go outdoors and embrace nature in order to prevent myopia.
Bolstering Education
Oriental Outlook October 25 Education has played an important role in promoting China’s rapid social and economic development over the past 40 years of reform and opening up. Compulsory education is especially important as it serves to build value systems， knowledge and skills. Primary and secondary education is critical for a country to improve the standard of living， further social and cultural progress and continue economic gains.
Today， a majority of children in China have access to nine years of compulsory education. However， education gaps between different regions still exist. This is also an issue between rural and urban areas and between different schools.
To bridge the education gap， the country has increased financial support for schools in poor regions and improved the financial aid system for students from impoverished families. The Internet has also played an important role in narrowing the educational gap between different regions. Teachers and students from less developed regions are able to access high-quality educational resources through live streaming platforms.
The country also hopes to cultivate a more versatile population through an education system focused on students’abilities. Many schools have carried out experiments in cooperation with local enterprises and universities to develop students’ hobbies and encourage their creativity.
However， China is still far behind developed countries in basic education standards. Students are encouraged to devote time to achieving the grades required for university rather than exploring and nurturing other passions and interests.
Rural Ecological Progress
Guangming Daily October 18
The Rural Vitalization Strategy （2018-22）， recently issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council， requires changing production methods and a shift in lifestyles. According to the report， rural areas must promote ecology vitalization in order to establish a clean environment with a stable and healthy ecological system where humans and nature can exist harmoniously. “Green mountains and clear water are as good as mountains of gold and silver，” the plan said.
The key to improving the ecology in rural areas doesn’t simply lie in the construction of relevant infrastructure but in raising rural residents’ awareness of environmental protection and improving infrastructure. Without enhancing awareness， fi scal investment will simply go to waste， despite a facet that is often overlooked. Rural ecological vitalization cannot be realized without farmers’ participation and developing these sustainable habits is a lengthy process. Rules and regulations for environmental protection should be formulated to guide villagers to pursue green lifestyles. Various rural business entities such as cooperatives and family farms should set an example by changing their production methods fi rst.
Ecological progress is an important step in rural vitalization. Only by encouraging villagers to shoulder their share of responsibilities in ecological protection can this goal be realized.
