Chinanews, Beijing, Apr. 29 – Recently Beijing Municipal Women Federation issued 8,100 questionnaires on children’s happiness. The survey shows that more than 80% of respondents claim they have a happy life.

 

When asked “What is the happiest thing in their life”, 37% of them said that they regard their parents’ good life as the happiest thing. Only 13% consider less study and more fun is the happiest thing.

 

Meanwhile, only 7% of the respondents acknowledge that when their friends get praised they will become jealous, and 30% think when their friends are praised, they will feel as if they themselves received praise.

 

Ms Yao, a mother of a 10-year-old pupil is worried about the result of the survey. She said that the nature of these children should be seeking fun, and she didn’t think the children have told the truth. When they say their parents’ good life is the happiest thing for them. After all parents’ happiness couldn’t equal the happiness of children themselves, Ms. Yao said.
