Jiangsu Xishan Senior High School in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, has made fitness a priority, requiring students to each day attend one PE class and exercise for at least an hour. Xinhua

"A good education should nurture those who make sports a lifelong habit, who can dare to take responsibilities, who can solve problems and who live fulfilling lives."

Tang told media that in 2020 the average height of first-grade male students in his school was 1.8 meters, with female students measuring an average 1.66m. Despite half of the male students being taller than the principal, very few of them could complete the school's chin-up test, and 132 boys couldn't even do one chin-up.

The principal also revealed that among the school's 893 first-grade students, 774 wear glasses.
