Now the news continues.
Some Chinese lawmakers say getting students through school quicker may help reduce the number of singles in the country.
Huang Yan-ru, senior official from southern China's Guangdong Province, submitted a proposal to lawmakers in the province saying one of the major reasons for "leftover" men and women is their long period of education.
"Leftover" here refers to urban educated people who remain single at 27 years of age or older.
Huang says the students begin their career late due to long-school years. This has hindered their chances of marriage and childbirth at a young age.
Huang is a member of China's top political advisory body, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Guangdong Province.
Specifically, Huang suggests shortening primary school education to five years, and junior and senior high schools to two years each.
Currently, Chinese primary school is six years while junior and senior high school are another three years each.
However, others say if students graduate early in school, it will increase the country's employment pressure.
Young teens in the United States aren't exactly embracing the government's Let's Move mantra.
The latest fitness data suggest that only 1 in 4 U.S. kids aged 12 to 15 meet the recommendations which is an hour or more of moderate to vigorous activity every day.
The results are based on about 800 kids who self-reported their activity levels and had physical exams as part of the 2012 National Youth Fitness Survey.
Government researchers won't call the results disappointing, but lead author Tala Fakhouri of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says "there's room for improvement."
The CDC released partial results Wednesday from the fitness survey, which involved kids aged 3 to 15. Other results from the same survey are pending and include fitness data based on more objective measures including treadmill tests.
The official says the results provide useful information for initiatives that aim to increase kids' fitness, including the Let's Move anti-obesity campaign launched by first lady Michelle Obama in 2010.
Kids in the survey have reported on which physical activities they did most frequently outside of school gym class — basketball for boys and running for girls.
