Changzhou，a city in Jiangsu Province，has a new rule for both parents and children. Parents need to make sure their children do about two hours of housework every week. This rule becomes a hot topic online.
There are many different ideas about the new rule. Some people think it is good，but others don’t think so.
Wang Xing is a middle school student in Changzhou. “I want to help my parents with the housework，but I don’t have time to do so，” he says. “I just have a few hours to relax every weekend，so doing housework is not on my to-do list.” He also says that most of his classmates don’t do housework either.
Xiong Bingqi，an expert（专家），says，“To make sure the new rule works well，parents need to help their children learn about some skills and join them to do housework.”
“Many parents only focus on children’s grades and don’t teach them important life skills，” Xiong says. “Doing housework can help keep children healthy. It can also make their brains（大脑）work better.”
