Mom's bid to falsify birth certificates lays bare anxiety

China Daily | Updated: 2018-08-30 07:25

A WOMAN SURNAMED Jiang in Yiwu, East China's Zhejiang province, has been detained because she made fake birth certificates for her children, changing their birth months from September and November to August. Gmw.cn comments:

Jiang has been detained for six days and fined 500 yuan ($73.3). The reason for her breaking the law is rather revealing: She hopes her two children can go to primary school one year earlier.

According to China's laws on education, only children who are 6 years old are allowed to register in primary schools. In other words, those born in September must go to school one year later than those born in August, even though they might be only a few days younger.
