Summer vacations traditionally offer children a break for play, relaxation, and leisure, but in China, a growing trend known as 'Pre-Made Children' has transformed holidays into intensive preparatory periods. Parents across regions like Zhejiang are increasingly enrolling their children in online classes and coaching them on next year's curriculumтАФsuch as advanced poetry, vocabulary, and mathematicsтАФbefore the school term even begins. Driven by fierce educational competition and parental anxiety that their children might fall behind peers, this phenomenon has sparked widespread social media debate regarding the psychological toll of relentless academic pressure and whether it compromises a normal childhood.
