China News Service, Beijing, February 16 (Reporter Huang Yuqin) There are nearly 3,000 deputies to the 13th National People's Congress. In the past five years, they have been faithfully fulfilling their duties and missions as representatives. Li Xiuxiang, director of the Trade and Environmental Research Center of Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics is one of them.
After being elected as a deputy to the 13th National People's Congress, Li Xiuxiang received a special call.
On the other end of the phone was a parent of a student.
Because the children are addicted to online games, the parents hoped that Li Xiuxiang would appeal to the National People's Congress in an almost pleading tone on the phone to "rescue" thousands of children trapped in the online world.
At that time, the total number of young Chinese netizens was nearly 200 million. Due to the lax supervision and management of some online games and the weak self-management ability of young people, the problem of young people addicted to games has become a social focus, resulting in physical and mental diseases and even juvenile crimes. It is also often seen in various newspapers.
"Okay, I will live up to your expectations." Li Xiuxiang, who was just elected as a representative of the 13th National People's Congress, made a solemn promise to the other party on the phone, and thus started her five consecutive years of work related to "prevention of youth game addiction" Represents the career path.
During the survey, Li Xiuxiang found that the problem of adolescents' addiction to online games should not be underestimated, "This social problem has become a 'volcano' waiting to erupt."
By visiting schools, discussing with parents and students, distributing questionnaires, interviewing legal experts and psychologists, and listening to experts' opinions and suggestions on solving problems, Li Xiuxiang made a speech on "Strengthening the Supervision of Online Games to Create a Clean Air for Teenagers" in March 2018. The proposal of "positive cyberspace" was submitted to the National People's Congress, and relevant departments responded in a timely manner.
In those years, although the problem of teenagers' addiction to online games was vigorously rectified by the relevant departments, it still failed to achieve a radical effect.
During the research process, Li Xiuxiang was surprised to find that a child had downloaded 18 games on her mobile phone, but the student told her, "I don't have many games, and some students have dozens of games installed on their mobile phones."
Different platforms do their own thing, the anti-addiction system cracking strategy is easy to find, and the real-name system is useless, making it difficult for "anti-addiction" to achieve real results.
In this regard, Li Xiuxiang worked hard to find the root cause of the problem. Since 2019, she has "broken information islands and established a national online game anti-addiction platform", "using blockchain technology to establish a national online game anti-addiction platform", "established a national Representative suggestions were put forward on the theme of "Online Game Anti-addiction Platform".
After five years in office, Li Xiuxiang's many suggestions on preventing teenagers from online game addiction have been responded and implemented by relevant departments.
In recent years, the State Press and Publication Administration, the Central Cyberspace Administration of China, and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League have actively cooperated with the National People's Congress to initiate the revision of the Law on the Protection of Minors, and promote the establishment of a special chapter on "Internet Protection" to prevent and control minors' addiction to the Internet and manage Internet information. , personal information protection, and installation of minor protection software.
Not only that, the State Press and Publication Administration also issued the "Notice on Preventing Minors from Indulging in Online Games", which clearly teaches the responsibilities of all parties to regulate the healthy and reasonable use of online games by minors, and regulates game content, game time limits, real-name Registration, etc. have formulated corresponding penalties.
The promulgation and improvement of a series of relevant management regulations have promoted the effective containment of the problem of Internet addiction among young people.
For Li Xiuxiang, rescuing children from "Internet addiction" may be a task without end, but the promise she made out of trust marked the starting point of her career path.
