Walking into Tradition
China's rapid modernization has left many Chinese parents questioning what toll this massive societal upheaval takes on their children. What is lost in the increasing emphasis on excelling academically so as to compete for high-paying jobs? Do Chinese schools teach children be good students instead of good people? Today, thousands of parents across the country have joined a growing Confucian revivalist movement, sending their children to special schools to learn ancient teachings in the hopes that children will learn to put their character and relationships before their test scores. Hanyu is the mother of 13 year-old Keke, a typical teenager who directs most of his attention to a computer or phone screen. Worried about her son's future, Hanyu sends Keke to a tradition Confucian summer camp. There, he learns about etiquette, morality, harmony, and the art of self-reflection. At camp, Keke memorizes Confucian verses, but will he take those lessons to heart once Summer is over? Hanyu and Keke's journey will test whether an older style of education can meet the grueling demands of a new China.
