Fate of children should not rest in games

A POST TITLED "A HEART-BROKEN MOTHER'S open letter to all students sitting the national college entrance exam" drawing attention to the damaging consequences of video game addiction has gone viral on social media. Beijing Youth Daily comments:

One thing is for sure, few children addicted to internet video games will bother to read the long letter telling the story of how the otherwise promising life of a boy was ruined by his addiction to internet games.

Although some internet video games have a minimum age requirement, it is easy for children to borrow an identity card of an adult for the real name registration process that is supposed to act as a firewall keeping underage players away.
