Summer vacations traditionally offer children a break for play, relaxation, and leisure, but in China, a growing trend known as 'Pre-Made Children' has transformed holidays into intensive preparatory periods.

Driven by fierce educational competition and parental anxiety that their children might fall behind peers, this phenomenon has sparked widespread social media debate regarding the psychological toll of relentless academic pressure and whether it compromises a normal childhood.
