China in recent years has seen a decline in its overall population amid an ageing society and plunging birthrate. To address the looming demographic crisis, political advisors to the government have come up with many recommendations. Meanwhile, Chinese colleges have also come up with a unique plan to address the problem. Nine vocational colleges in China have announced a weeklong holiday in April and asked students to find love.
Run by the Fan Mei Education Group, the schools on March 23 said that they are going on a break from April 1 to 7 and tasked students with enjoying themselves. The 7-day holiday encourages students to “learn to love nature, love life, and enjoy love through enjoying the spring break."
