Xiong Bingqi, the deputy director of think-tank 21st Century Education Research Institute, thinks the problem is overstated.

21世纪教育研究院的副院长熊丙奇认为，问题严重性被夸大了。

"It has always been a problem in China that at the start of every school year, colleges are packed with parents who come along to drop off their children and stay with them," he said.

“每一次新学年开始的时候，大学里都挤满了送学生的家长，并且还会呆几天，这在中国一直是个问题，”他说。

"For some families, it's their way to celebrate the first-ever family member who's able to go to college," Xiong added. "There's nothing wrong with sharing the happiness."

“对一些家庭来说，这是对家里出了第一位大学生的庆祝方式，”熊院长补充道。“分享这份喜悦没什么不对的。”

'No brainer'

“人之常情”

Xiong's father said the decision to escort their son was a no-brainer. He and his wife are among the many "campers" who sleep in the 550 temporary tents set up in the Tianjin University gym.

熊金琦的爸爸说护送儿子来学校是想都不用想的事儿。他和妻子两人同众多“露营者”一起，睡在天津大学体育馆搭起的550个临时帐篷里。

"My child has lots of luggage and we also want to go travel," said his father Xiong Yonghui.
