In China, more and more students are nearsighted. According to official data last year, the prevalence of myopia(近视) for primary school students stands at 35.6 percent nationwide, and the rate rises to nearly 81 percent for senior high school students.

At a primary school in Southwest China’s Yunnan province, no students are nearsighted. How remarkable the achievement is. There are 536 students in this school, and Yang Qingyi is a staff member at the school. He said that all children are required to go outside during class breaks. Even for quiet kids, the school encourages them to take a walk outside. The school makes the best of its resources to instill(逐渐灌输) a passion for sports and exercise among its students. “If there is one piece of advice that we can share on achieving zero myopia, I would say large amounts of outdoor activities,” said Sun Fubiao, the primary school’s headmaster. A number of students’ parents are working in other areas, so the school has six public phones while forbidding the use of personal cellphones or other electronic devices. “In teacher-parent WeChat groups, we always remind parents to pay attention to kids’ eye health when they are at home for weekends or vacations,” Sun said.

Sun said that during his seven years at the school, he has never encountered any student with nearsightedness. However, Sun himself and five other staff members at the school wear glasses due to myopia. “I always find wearing eyeglasses bothersome. The eyeglasses always slip off my nose,” he said. “I do not want to see the next generation have to go through all the problems, so it’s natural for us to pay attention to eyesight protection.”

Yang Chenhao, head of the ophthalmology(眼科学) department at the Children’s Hospital of Fudan University, said that while the school is a unique case, some of its measures are highly worth learning, such as keeping children away from mobile phones and getting them outdoors more often.
