新游戲'中國式家長'走紅
"Chinese Parents", a new life simulation game in Mandarin, is gaining popularity and praise among players for the way it mirrors real life. The main task of the game is centered on helping children enter a better school of higher quality, a demanding challenge for many Chinese parents. The biggest draw is perhaps its reflection of real life in China, with many episodes inspired by daily life, such as the importance of "saving" and "giving" face in Chinese culture or pretending to refuse New Year red envelopes from others. The game has risen to second place on the sales chart of popular online game platform STEAM for the week ending Oct 14, getting likes from 88% of players. Insiders said the game is popular because the child-parent relationship strikes a chord with many Chinese and it is also well made.

British Prime Minister Theresa May appointed junior health minister Jackie Doyle-Price the country's first ever Minister for Suicide Prevention in an effort to cut the number of people taking their own lives. According to the British government, about 4,500 people take their own lives each year in England and suicide remains the leading cause of death for men under 45. The prime minister also announced other plans to tackle suicide problems in Britain. New government funding up to 1.8 million pounds will be raised to "help ensure the charity can continue to provide immediate and lifesaving support to everyone who needs it, 24 hours a day," the government said. The government also has promised to train a million people in mental health awareness, publish a "State of the Nation" report every year starting in 2019, and provide tools to help schools measure their students' mental wellbeing.
