, many elderly people came early to wait for registration. in December 15th, the provincial senior university organizes students to enroll, and some middle-aged and elderly citizens in Ji'nan are waiting all night to get the name and choose a satisfactory professional. Among them, 45 seventy or eighty year old people enrolled in school together.
some continued queuing for more than eight hours and 15 p.m. at 1 p.m., the reporter came to the provincial university of latitude three, the "sign up war" continued. The hall and corridors of the teaching building are crowded with middle-aged and elderly people waiting in line. Some of them have been queuing for more than eight hours.

Zheng Zuoren had previously been a student of the provincial university for the aged. The new semester will need to be re registered and enrolment according to the requirements of the school. His class has 45 vocal enhancement classes, the only "senior class" of the provincial university for the aged. The average age of the students is around 70 and the largest is 86 years old. Because of the military background, Zheng Zuoren was in good health and "relatively young". He was promoted to be the head of the class and the head of the class.
to ensure the success of the registration, at 2 a.m. on the 15 day, Zheng started from the home in the east of the Yanshan overpass. He walked one kilometre to a taxi and arrived at the gate of the University at 3 in the morning. When he arrived, despite the heavy fog and poor visibility in the city, many elderly people came. It is reported that an old lady even arrived at 23 o'clock on the 14 day.
Zheng Zuoren told reporters that his classmates are not simple, many people have served as doctors, university professors, senior engineers and other posts before retirement, and some are still the old revolution and the provincial municipal model. In recent years, vocal music improvement classes have been joined by new trainees every year, and the number of trainees has passed away. The total number of students has remained stable.
15 early morning, in order to avoid the early queuing of the elderly were frostbitten, the provincial elderly university duty personnel temporarily opened two classrooms, the elderly can enter the heating. At 6 in the morning, the headmaster, Dean and some staff members went to work in advance, and the organizer began to enroll students. By the 7 point, the school gate was crowded with middle-aged and elderly people who came to sign up. The scene was crowded, and some children also came to sign up for the elderly at weekends. In order to maintain the order of registration, about 10 old students from the provincial university of old age wear ribbons to serve volunteers. The students who are not alone are reluctant to graduate this year, and the provincial senior university is in order to standardize the registration order. It is stipulated that each person can only sign up with the three people of the times. The vocal music improvement class is not suitable for a long time because many elderly people are over 80 years old, old and weak, and are not suitable for long time queuing. An old man who returned from a senior engineer in a provincial department told a reporter that she had come to line so early because "the quota was limited and it was late to be late."
more than 3000 new students are expected to sign up this year, and more than 2000 students who finish three grade will graduate from school. But according to the reporter, in fact, many math graduates are unwilling to go after graduation, and some have been reading for more than ten years. Like Zheng Zuoren, who retired from the army in 1999, he has been studying at the provincial university for the aged.
in addition, vocal music, dancing, calligraphy and painting belong to the popular specialty of the University for the aged, and are widely favored by the students. Some popular subjects have been registered since the announcement, and have been filled in less than an hour. Many students queued all night to grab a hot subject.
Xue Ming analysis of the senior university in charge of teaching management said that many middle-aged and elderly people were lost to a certain art because of their early years of poverty. At night, the safety of the elderly is worrying, Xue Ming told reporters that in the past five or six years, the size of the university has grown rapidly. In 2006, there were about 3000 students in school, from grade one to grade three; 8000 in 2010 and 16 thousand in 2011, the number of students was basically saturated, and the school had to control enrollment. In order to alleviate the increasingly prominent contradiction between the area of school buildings and the number of students, two teaching areas of the provincial geological and Mining Bureau and the provincial judge college are newly created to divert the students and still can not solve the problems of the school buildings. The capacity of
highly saturated school students has also greatly increased the intensity of the work of the faculty. Xue Ming said, at present, workers generally work overtime, usually around 7 in the morning to school, holidays and other rest time can not be guaranteed. In order for more elderly people to have classes, they have to arrange courses in the evening. Workers can also insist that the safety problems of some elderly students attending classes at night are very worrying.
