doubt that a rite of passage was pretty significant in people’s whole life.

Great changes have taken place in a rite of passage in China with the changing times. Only a few people take part in the Mitzvah. It is obvious that a rite of passage is far less epidemical than that in the old times. People at age of 18 often wear Han Chinese clothing with serious face and in high spirit now. A rite of passage represents the independence of children. Besides, even some children would receivegifts and congratulations from their parents and other relatives.

In recent days, there is a trend to hold a rite of passage for all 18-year-old children for the hope that children will be more responsible and brave in the future.
