As the Children’s Day approaches, excitement for the children mounts to a pitch. There are presents to be bought, candies to be delivered, and dances and songs to be showed. I can still recall that, on receiving, for instance, a single bar of chocolate, I would go into raptures, because, in part, this was given on the Children’s Day, our own day! The teachers had resourcefully made the lengthy preparation of a wide range of games, interesting and attractive, from which we could take some special winnings, such as towels, handkerchiefs and pencils, and great fun as well. Were you gifted in singing or dancing, you will be the focus of the day, submerged in cheers and claps proceeding on and off.

Childhood is rememberable. We are always curious about anything, from the flying birds to gliding fishes to profound science. We, under the wings of the parental love and care, are rarely trapped in worries, annoyances and anxieties; and, hardly exposed to the complicated real world, remain simple and unaffected.

However, things have been changed. College students are now graduating in great quantities, flooding the labor market, as a partial result of which, many are still in unemployment after graduation. Fully acquainted with the increasingly tough situation facing the students, some of them have sharpened their competitiveness in job-hunting by being lost in English improvement, participating in extra-curriculum activities and internships, holding such and such a certificate in their hands. Much to our regret, a handful students with the inability to adapt themselves to the situation, mentioned above, quickly are oppressed by the seemingly gloomy future. Neither the former nor the latter are as childlike as before, for we are now the earthly creatures, worrying about, say, the food, housing and money in particular, and, as a adult, will be independent of our parents and shoulder more responsibilities.
