Abstract

Over the past decades, Chinese higher education has undergone a dramatic expansion. According to An Overview of Chinese Education: National Education Development in 2020 issued by the Ministry of Education of P. R. China, there were 2738 higher education institutions in China in 2020, with an admission rate of 54.4% and a total enrollment of 41.83 million students (1). With the rapid popularization of higher education, numerous issues have emerged on college campuses. The unreasonable proliferation of online student loads is one of them.
