The new semester just began, but Jiang Shaoting, a 16-year-old boy of Shenzhen Senior High School, has already put up a poster at his school. He wants new members for his finance (金融) club.
As the manager of the club, Jiang needs to compete with the 25 other clubs in the school. There is a magic club, a hip-hop
club and Model United Nations. “If you want to become popular with other students, you must join at least two or three clubs,” said Jiang.
There has been a boom(热潮) in campus clubs in Shenzhen schools lately. It even affects students’ choice of a school. “I read the introduction to the finance club before I entered the school. It said in the club you can turn 5,000 yuan into 10,000 yuan by
investing (投资),” said Yan Tongren, 15. “It caught my eye at once!”
In the club, students study stocks, funds and securities (证券). They also work in security companies as interns (实习生). Jiang bought the stock and it rose 9.8 per cent in value in eight months.
Not all the clubs aim to earn money. The biggest campus club is the Model United Nations. Students from 28 Shenzhen
schools represent certain countries to speak at the meetings. Wearing business suits, they discuss problems like Somali pirates (海盗) and climate change in English. “Different topics teach me about what is happening around the world. I can practise my oral English, gain the leadership to make decisions, and most importantly, I have made friends from other schools,” said Yang Xiaoyu, 16, from Shenzhen Nanshan Foreign Language School.
