New playgrounds for “Little Emperors”(下)
But these cafés have also helped to generate many an Internet junkie,giving rise to a plethora of other problems.Says Dr.Tao Ran,director of Beijing’s first-ever Internet addiction clinic,“All the children here have left school because they are playing games or in chat-rooms everyday.They are suffering from depression,nervousness,fear and unwillingness to interact with others,panic and agitation.They also have sleep disorders,the shakes and numbness in their hands.”
That kids are becoming addicted to far more deadly substances is another major cause of concern.China has the largest population of smokers on earth (more than 350 million at last count),so it's hardly surprising to see millions of youngsters following their father’s foot-steps - down to the local tobacconist.“I grew up around people smoking.” says Xiao Zhang,a 17-year-old Beijing schoolboy,“so I never thought it was a bad thing.Anyhow,if it starts to affect my health,I’ll just quit.” But isn’t that what all addicts say at the start?
Cigarette smoking was once a male-only ambit.These days,though,it's not uncommon to see young girls,particularly teenagers,lighting up outside a net café.Eighteen-year-old Su Peng says,“I started smoking with my two best friends after we saw Pulp Fiction.The star [Uma Thurman] looked so cool with her cigarettes,so we thought we’d have a try.”The girls were 16 when they saw that movie,so the habit seems to have become more permanent than they had perhaps wished at the outset.
Kids swigging beers,too,are seen all the more in the malls and pool halls of Beijing.With a 640ml bottle of the local brew priced around RMB 2 (US$0.25) and readily available in shops,it's perhaps one of the cheaper and more convenient misdemeanors that a teenager can get up to in China. But unlike their Western counterparts,Chinese teenagers very rarely drink to excess,and in any case,there is no age limit for the consumption of alcohol in China.
“小皇帝”的新天地 (下)
这么多网吧的出现使青少年开始沉溺于网络,从而产生其他一系列问题.北京首家治疗沉溺网络临床主任陶然医生说道:“我们这里所有退学的孩子都是因为他们整天沉迷于网络游戏或网上聊天室.表现为意志消沉,神经过敏,恐惧不愿意与他人接触,恐慌,兴奋等等.他们的睡眠也毫无规律可言,双手颤抖有时会感到麻木.”
我们关注的另一个主要原因是现在的小孩接触了很多致命的物质.中国是世界上吸烟人数最多的国家(全世界总计多达35亿多人口),真是难以相信,数百万年轻人以他们的父亲为“榜样”,纷纷走进烟草店.小张今年17岁,是北京的一名学生,他说:“从小,我就看到我周围的大人都在抽烟,所以在我看来,这不是件坏事,但是无论如何,如果有一天我发现抽烟开始影响我的健康,我会戒烟的.”这不正是每个抽烟的人在刚开始的时候都说过的吗?又有几个能真正做到呢?
以前只是男人抽烟,但是现在,也不难看见年轻的女孩子在吸烟,尤其是青少年,你常常能看见她们在网吧门口吸烟.十八岁的苏鹏说,“当我们看完了Pulp Fiction (低俗小说),我和我的两个好朋友就开始抽烟了,因为当时觉得乌玛·瑟曼吸烟的样子很酷,我们就模仿了一下.她们在16岁的时候看了这部电影,所以现在已经不是她们刚开始那样了,她们的烟瘾已经越来越大.
除了以上提及的几点,现在的小孩还学会了喝酒,在北京的购物街和赌博场所随处可见.标价2块钱(0.25美元)640ml的本土酿造的酒在各个商店销售的很好,也许是这种酒便宜而且在广大青少年能够承受的范围之内.但是虽然如此,中国的青少年却不会像西方国家的一样常常酗酒,如轮如何,在中国,就的消费量是没有年龄限制的.
