Universities Encourage New Students to Go It Alone Sun Xiaochen 1 With an eye to increasing college students’ independence and improving their social skills, Chinese universities are encouraging freshmen to enroll by themselves without their parents’ help. 2 It used to be quite a scene when families accompanied their children to college enrollment in China. 3 Vehicles packed with luggage usually filled campuses, while parents carrying bags would follow their children everywhere to help them handle procedures and get them settled in at dormitories. 4 However, it was a different scene at Tsinghua University on Wednesday, when more than 3,000 freshmen reported to school and finished all the procedures themselves. 5 A yellow line drawn across the entrance of the school arena separated parents from their children, who entered the gym alone with their documentation. The students would spend as much as three hours dealing with the enrollment procedures, including department registration, credential collection and room distribution. 6 Senior schoolmates helped new students transfer their baggage and explore the campus. 7 The move, launched by Tsinghua University last year, is expected to improve young Chinese people’s self-reliance and independent spirit at a crucial stage of life, university President Chen Jining said. 8 “An important goal of higher education is cultivating students’ independent personalities, which should be embodied in every process of campus life,” said Chen, who wrote a brief message with the admission letter that encouraged students to leave their parents behind on enrollment day. 9 “How can youngsters grow up with their parents spoiling them and taking care of everything? We expect to make a difference from the beginning.” 10 The call got a positive response from students. 11 Feng Lei, a student from Gansu province who will study hydraulic engineering, took a 25-hour train ride to Beijing with only one schoolmate. 12 “It’s my first long trip without my parents, and I am actually quite excited about it,” he said. “Coming to the university opens a new stage of my life, and I should learn to take care of myself from the start.” 13 Feng said he has already made three new friends after enrollment and it really helps to get to know each other. 14 Inspired by Tsinghua, other universities have also launched their own campaigns to encourage students to enroll alone. Experts said these independence-improving initiatives should be promoted. 15 “The lack of independence has been a major concern for kids born in the 1990s as parents arranged everything, which instead hampered their all-around development,” said Xiong Bingqi, vice-president of the 21th Century Education Research Institute. 16 “Such campaigns will help them realize that they have to live their lives on their own, and schools should provide more independence-developing programs to go with academic education.”  高校鼓勵(lì)新生獨(dú)立 孫曉晨 1 著眼于提高高校大學(xué)生的獨(dú)立能力和改善他們的社交能力，中國高校正在鼓勵(lì)新生不要父母陪伴獨(dú)自去學(xué)校報(bào)到。 2 過去中國父母親陪伴孩子去大學(xué)報(bào)到，那場(chǎng)景好不熱鬧。 3 校園里擠滿了滿載行李的汽車，拎著大包小包的父母總是跟在孩子們后面，幫助他們處理各種報(bào)到手續(xù)，并幫助他們?cè)谒奚岚差D好。 4 但是，本周三，在清華大學(xué)，人們看到了一個(gè)全然不同的場(chǎng)景，3,000多名來學(xué)校報(bào)到的新生，都獨(dú)立完成了所有報(bào)到手續(xù)。 5 在學(xué)校場(chǎng)地入口處劃了一條黃線，把家長(zhǎng)和學(xué)生分開，學(xué)生們帶著報(bào)到材料獨(dú)自進(jìn)入體育館。他們將花上足足三個(gè)小時(shí)辦完入學(xué)手續(xù)，包括去系里注冊(cè)，領(lǐng)取證件和分配宿舍。 6 高年級(jí)同學(xué)幫助新生搬運(yùn)行李和熟悉校園。 7 人們期望這項(xiàng)在去年由清華大學(xué)發(fā)起的活動(dòng)能幫助中國年輕人在其人生關(guān)鍵階段提高自力更生和獨(dú)立自主的精神，清華大學(xué)校長(zhǎng)陳吉寧說道。 8 “高等教育的一個(gè)重要目的是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生獨(dú)立的個(gè)性，這應(yīng)該體現(xiàn)在校園生活的每一個(gè)過程中，”陳校長(zhǎng)說。他在入學(xué)通知書上附了一個(gè)短信，鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生在新生報(bào)到的當(dāng)天獨(dú)自來學(xué)校，不要父母陪伴。 9 “父母溺愛，包辦一切，年輕人怎么能成長(zhǎng)呢？我們希望他們從一開始就做出改變?！? 10 這一號(hào)召得到了學(xué)生的積極響應(yīng)。 11 來自甘肅省的馮雷將要學(xué)習(xí)水利工程，他只有一位同學(xué)為伴，坐了25小時(shí)的火車來到北京。 12 “這是我第一次沒有父母陪伴的長(zhǎng)途旅行，其實(shí)我還是非常興奮的，”他說道?！吧洗髮W(xué)開啟了我人生的新旅程，我應(yīng)該從一開始就學(xué)會(huì)自己照顧自己。” 13 馮說報(bào)到后他已經(jīng)結(jié)交了三個(gè)新朋友，這確實(shí)有利于大家相互了解。 14 在清華大學(xué)的啟發(fā)下，其他高校也紛紛仿效，鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生獨(dú)自報(bào)到。專家們認(rèn)為這些提高獨(dú)立自主能力的倡議應(yīng)該得到弘揚(yáng)。 15 “缺乏獨(dú)立自主的能力已成為人們對(duì)90后孩子的一大憂慮，因?yàn)楦改赣H為他們安排好了一切，這反而阻礙了孩子們的全面發(fā)展，”二十一世紀(jì)教育研究院副院長(zhǎng)熊丙奇說道。 16 “這些活動(dòng)將幫助學(xué)生意識(shí)到他們必須獨(dú)立生活，學(xué)校在進(jìn)行學(xué)歷教育的同時(shí)，應(yīng)該開展更多的培養(yǎng)獨(dú)立自主能力的活動(dòng)。” 4
