書展昨日開鑼，3樓兒童館未聞書香先見習作，補充練習攤位堆滿望子成龍的家長，繁忙兒童由幼稚園起已經要面對艱深英語、普通話教材；更甚乎只有8歲便可報讀的游泳拯溺及歷奇班；又有父母不惜一擲6萬元為子女買下英文學習系統。坊間稱逼子女「贏在起跑線」的為怪獸家長，但有人對稱號毫不在乎：「我唔介意喎！我對自己個仔咋嘛，又唔使同人交代。」

Hongkongers have taken the phrase “win at the starting line” as the guiding principle for this competitive sport. Parents here believe giving their children a head start is the key to success.
