Scholars call for China's own Mother's Day (300 words)

As many people around the world celebrated Mother's Day yesterday, a Chinese scholar and member of the top national advisory body has made it his mission to create China's own Mother's Day.

Li Hanqiu, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, suggested that the second day of the fourth lunar month, which falls on May 18 this year, be the day.

It coincides(凑巧) with the birthday of 4th century BC philosopher Mencius, whose mother has long been considered the epitome of maternal devotion and love.

Li has called for the traditional Western gift of carnations for the day to be changed to lilies, which in ancient times were planted by mothers in their courtyards as a sign of sorrow at their children leaving home.

\"In a country with a deeply-rooted tradition of filial（孝顺） piety, we should have our own occasion for people to express love for mothers according to Chinese custom,\" Li said. He has founded a non-government organization - Chinese Mothers' Festival Promotion Society\"- with the support of around 100 Confucian scholars and lecturers of ethics. It plans to celebrate its first Chinese Mother Festival on May 18.

\"This is our first year and the celebration will be held only in Zoucheng city of Shandong Province and Shijiazhuang in Hebei, but we believe it will be accepted by more Chinese people at home and abroad as it is conducive to revitalizing our traditional culture of filial piety,\" said Li.

He also plans to build a theme park on maternity culture in Zoucheng, the birthplace of Mencius.

\"Even though the Western Mother's Day is becoming more and more popular worldwide, countries like France, Egypt, South Korea, Portugal and Indonesia celebrate their own mother's days in their own ways,\" said Lu Zonghai, secretary of Li's society.

According to Li, the society plans to send pamphlets over the next few years to a million students in 100 cities advocating filial piety.

\"To ensure the festival is entrenched in Chinese society may be an arduous process, but it is definitely worth trying,\" said Chen Xuxia, an academician with the Hebei Academy of Social Sciences. Xinhua

(From:China Daily 05/14/2007)1. In paragraph 3, the underlined word “Mencius”is one famous person in ancient China, who is he? A. 庄子 B. 孔子 C. 荀子 D. 孟子

A. Because lilies is more beautiful than carnations B. Because carnations can't be grown in China.

Selecting students with specialities harms the fairness of compulsory education, says a signed article in Beijing Youth Daily. An excerpt follows:

According to laws and regulations, students should enter schools near their homes and there is no need to take an entrance examination for compulsory education. But the imbalance of educational resource distribution and the complexity of the education system have made middle school enrollment a battlefield for parents and students. Media reports show that the situation is severe as this year schools in Beijing were allowed to select students with specialties. Many parents lined up at school gates early in the morning and students held bunches of prize-winning certificates for key schools' selection. And most parents worry about the fairness of selection.

The examination-oriented educational system forces students to enter the leading middle schools to improve their chances of entering top colleges. Furthermore the quality educational resources are concentrated in a few good schools while the quality of many more schools is not satisfactory.

Students have to accumulate \"capital\" to be selected, which greatly burdens them and harms their healthy growth.

To implement the policy of \"entering the nearest schools without examination\" is the way to simplify this vast project but it is not easy. The educational departments should promote a series of measures as well as issuing temporary bans.

The system of selecting students with specialties should be abolished in compulsory education nationwide. A timetable is needed for this.

The biggest challenge for the educational department is to balance the resources for

compulsory education through innovation.
