Political advisor: Chinese children in cities need manual labor

The advisor said he would submit a proposal to the upcoming annual session of the CPPCC National Committee, the country's top political advisory body, to suggest country's education authorities formulate a regulation on manual labor for schoolchildren.

Feng said Chinese schools should learn from their Japanese counterparts as it is must for Japanese students to do manual labor and some Japanese schools organize students to work in remote islands and villages.

"We are virtually making our children aristocratic," he said.

The Second Session of the 11th CPPCC National Committee will open Tuesday afternoon and last nine days, said spokesman for the session Zhao Qizheng Monday.
