The theme of the Ministry of Education’s 2026 New Year’s First Meeting is students’ physical and mental health. An important measure is to emphasize physical exercise. Sports bring not only a healthy body but also mental well-being, which holds special significance for Chinese children.

Children who study sports are generally healthier both physically and mentally than those in other majors. Western countries have conducted some early research on this phenomenon. The reasons often emphasize improved physical fitness from exercise, and also recognize that sports are one of the best ways to release and vent emotions, including the secretion of dopamine, which helps regulate mood.

For Chinese children today, sports and hobbies have a special meaning: breaking the overprotective greenhouse nurturing environment and correcting the overly “independent” and less cooperative family growth environment.
