The purpose of learning: The purpose of learning is about learners being prepared for their future and reaching their fullest potential as lifelong learners

In China, parents and their children value education as one of the top priorities. Children are affected from multiple perspectives. This leads to the questions that other than meet educational requirements, can students truly understand the purpose of learning? How do they feel about the empty heart disease? 

Psychological: 
- students' high standards to themselves
- competitions/competiveness due to self-images
- self-criticism
- self-esteem

Social/environmental:
- family environments 
- family conflicts 
- parenting styles
- academic burnout
- school environments

How do educational demands affect children's mental health in China?
