My grandfather is an eighty-year-old man. He changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t families the way they used to be. A lot of families have broke down. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone’s working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walks any more: everyone drives. We used to walk five miles to school every day, even in winter. But now they don’t. And in schoo1, the children don’t have to think any more. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide in our heads. Kids don’t use their heads any more；instead, they use calculators(计算器).
Most families have computers now. In the past we didn’t have computers.We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now nobody eats home-cooked food any more.
And people don’t talk to each other any more. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too, busy to think……
Life used to be simple, but it isn’t any more.

Everyone has a beautiful memory about school which is hard to forget. Among many things, relationships are the hardest to leave behind. Some schools try to stop students’ puppy love (早恋) in different ways. Anything about “love” relationship is not allowed. For example, a middle school in Fujian, forbids (禁止) boys and girls to sit together for meals and forbids boys to look at girls for a long time; a middle school in Luohe, Henan Province sets rules that boys and girls should meet in bright places with at least 5 other classmates, and if they meet in private, they will be asked to go home with parents for more than a week and even advised to leave school; a middle school in Jinan, Shandong Province forbids everyone to send food and gifts to or receive them from the opposite sex (异性). It also forbids students to help the opposite sex with bags and coats and requires a “44 cm” distance between boys and girls.
Some students are not satisfied with such rules. “Why should we have strict places for different sexes to eat? It’s not using bathrooms!” Some people who care about the intelligence development of the students say that they should be more creative with fewer rules. For this, I’d like to say that middle school students are going through puberty (青春期). It’s normal for them to have some feelings for the opposite sex. Schools should provide correct guidance and education instead of giving simple and cruel rules and asking the students to follow.

Have you grown taller and stronger? On Sept. 3, the Ministry of Education brought out the results of the eighth national health survey for students from elementary school (小学) through college and university.
