Policy encouragement

Lichuan's move aligns with a broader policy direction.

In September, nine central government departments, including the Ministry of Commerce, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Education issued measures on expanding service consumption.

The changes encourage localities with suitable conditions to adjust the academic calendar taking into consideration the climate, production schedules and the implementation of paid leave.

It suggests exploring the establishment of spring and autumn breaks, potentially shortening summer and winter vacations, to boost tourism and service consumption during these periods.

During this March's two sessions — the annual gatherings of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee — the idea gained national attention.

Pang Yonghui, an NPC deputy from Hebei province, submitted a proposal to institute nationwide spring and autumn breaks for students. "I proposed this mainly for two reasons: to boost the economy and consumption, and to benefit children's growth and education," said Pang, also a Chinese arts and crafts master.

Pang recalled having spring and autumn breaks during busy farming time in his childhood, and noted that today's children face immense academic pressure.

He suggested starting with a one-week "spring break" around the May Day holiday, followed later by an "autumn break", coupled with full implementation of paid leave for workers in enterprises and public institutions to stimulate holiday consumption.

"It became trending news online, showing the topic's broad relevance and public interest," Pang said, expressing satisfaction that his proposal is gaining traction.

Gao Wen, an associate professor of psychology at Liaoning Normal University in Dalian, Liaoning province, said breaks can benefit students' mental and physical health.

"Students are spending long hours in school every day. The two breaks can effectively provide a respite from this rhythm of high-intensity learning, providing necessary relaxation," she said.

"In addition, through recreation and practical work, children interact more with their parents, strengthening family bonds and fostering well-rounded personalities."
