| Wan, We usually have a 'showtime' when the military training is over. During the showtime, we perform what we have learnt at the stadium. The president and other leaders of the school will inspect us during the showtime. Then we usually have one month to prepare for a evening party. We do not drink alcohol. Instead, the performers (mainly freshers) perform on the stage to welcome our arrival. We also have various kinds of communities and unions too. |

| The army training is part of the co-curriculum and you won't graduate if you fail the training. Those who want to get an excuse from attending the training need to provide a letter from the hospital. Wan |

The proof from the hospital is also needed here if you ask for a sick leave. But some parents got the proofs through their "connections" in the hospital. The parents spoil their kids too much and won't see them suffer from anything. In Peking Unversity, 3500 freshers went to see the doctors more than 6000 times during the military training. In other words, each student went to see the doctor 1.7 times. In the first week, some of them felt dizzy and fell on the ground. I am afraid that some students are "made of paper". They can do anything but stay in the airconditioned rooms. Chinese colleges should have the same stipulation: those who fail in the military trainning will not get their graduate diplomas. |

Their parents won't let them experience such cruel training. Thus, they help their kids "escape". I should say that their parents just ruin their lives in this way. A seeding can never grow into a strong and tall tree if it can not go through any extreme situations. |

| It's not a total army training after all. We didn't go under barbed-wires or with live bullets. The only hard thing was running with back pack for 5km and back (altogether 10km). Wan |

I am wondering what happens if they face barbed-wires and real bullets. |

Military training in school is a kind of military service performance. Besides, China also recruits volunteers. Thanks to this, not all Chinese people have to perform military service in the army because there are enough volunteers. In some countries, like South Korea, everyone has to perform military service no matter who you are. For instance, Hyun Bin, a pop entertainment star, also performs military service. |
