Additionally, it also explores the moderating effect brought by academic quality in the relationship between the Double Reduction policy and students' well-being. More specifically, 209 students were hired for the sample and regression analysis was employed in assessing the policy called the Double Reduction policy in which the stress level was found to have been significantly decreased with the well-being of students enhanced as well. The results derived from regression analysis pointed to the great extent of predictive validity. This study also identifies understanding to mean both academic success for students and student care in order to relieve student pressure. The future studies should adopt the longitudinal research designs, subjects of different education levels and employ the objective measures to complement and extend these findings.

China, with the world's largest population, numerous ethnic groups and vast geographical space, is also rich in languages. Since 2006, China's State Language Commission has been publishing annual reports on what is called "language life" in China. These reports cover language policy and planning invitatives at the national, provincial and local levels, new trends in language use in a variety of social domains, and major events concerning languages in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Now for the first time, these reports are available in English for anyone interested in Chinese languge and linguistics, China's language, education and social policies, as well as everyday language use among the ordinary people in China. The invaluable data contained in these reports provide an essential reference to researchers, professionals, policy makers, and China watchers
