Abstract
In July 2021 the Chinese government implemented the Double Reduction Policy which aims to reduce the burden of excessive homework and after-school tutoring on students at the compulsory education level. However, the policy does not seem to have positive effects but rather increases the pressure and anxiety of students and their parents as the policymakers failed to consider the social problem of involution in China. While it is widely believed by Chinese people that a university education is an essential life task and is closely associated with socioeconomic development, students work hard in order to perform well in The High School Entrance Examination (Zhongkao) and The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao), however, the implementation of the Double Reduction Policy hinders them from working hard.
