Why does "Honor of Kings" make students deeply involved?

"If you don't know how to play, don't play. Have you finished your homework? If you are a primary school student, don't come out to trick your teammates!" With the popularity of "Glory of Kings", this saying has become popular among the people. Recently, Xiao Lin, who is in elementary school, was chased by his rival "King of Lanling" in the game "Honor of Kings" because of his poor skills. In desperation, he actually chose to call the police and asked the police to help him fight off the enemy.

From kindergarten children to college students, from construction workers to Internet celebrities, the "Honor of Kings" game is like "electronic opium", with countless "addicts". According to Tencent’s data, “Honor of Kings” has more than 200 million registered users and more than 50 million daily active users, of which 54% are players between the ages of 11 and 20.

It is an indisputable fact that game players are becoming younger. As the main force of mobile games, teenagers have amazing potential to retain, be active, and even pay for games. However, at the same time, because their world view and outlook on life are immature, they are more likely to become addicted to games and get stuck in them.

"Naughty kid" is addicted to games

"110? I'm being hunted! Come and save me!" Two weeks ago, the police of Taishun County, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province A childish voice came from the station's call desk. When the staff asked where the person was being chased, a dumbfounding answer came over the phone, "I was chased in 'Honor of Kings' and I've been killed several times!"

Xiao Lin is 13 years old this year. He likes to play "Honor of Kings" on his mother's mobile phone very much. He plays "Luban No. 7" in the game. He did not expect that he will be "killed home" as soon as he goes out online this time. "Xiao Lin was so angry that he called 110.

Police from the Taishun County Police Station told reporters from China Youth Daily and China Youth Online that Xiaolin’s repeated calls to the police had disrupted the normal work of the police station. After investigation, both Xiaolin and his mother were investigated. Critical education. After the education, Xiao Lin no longer called the police for playing games.

Coincidentally, on May 2, the Longhu Police Station in Jinjiang City, Fujian Province received an alarm. Peng, a young man born in the 2000s, had repeatedly stolen sesame oil money to buy equipment because he was addicted to the "Honor of Kings" game. On May 9, a student in Jinjiang was addicted to the "Honor of Kings" game. After his mobile phone was taken away, he confronted his father with a knife.

In order to have a stronger combat effectiveness in the "Honor of Kings" game, recharging is naturally inevitable. According to media reports, a third-grade primary school student in Fuzhou spent more than 5,000 yuan to recharge games in half an hour; a 12-year-old primary school student in Shenzhen stole 20,000 yuan from a home safe to recharge games; and a fifth-grade child in a primary school in Zhejiang used his parents’ mobile phones to play games and spent 38,000 yuan. .

On the Zhihu platform, parents also initiated topics such as "Children recharge money to play 'Honor of Kings', how should parents safeguard their rights?" "What should I do if my 5-year-old son wants to play 'Honor of Kings'" and other topics, especially In primary schools, “Honor of Kings” has been regarded as “electronic opium” by parents.

“‘Honor of Kings’ has become the main topic for students after studying. As soon as get out of class is over, several students get together to discuss what equipment to buy and what skins to buy. Those who don’t play seem out of place. "Primary school teacher Li Han (pseudonym) told reporters that many students in the class are playing the "Glory of Kings" game, and girls are also playing. She believes that children playing games at such a young age will inevitably affect their cognition and learning. Even playing games in their spare time will occupy a lot of energy.

The "distorted" history

In addition to the fact that "Glory of Kings" may affect studies and cause property losses, what worries parents even more is the "distorted" history of "Glory of Kings" . They believe that primary school students have not yet learned the real Chinese history, so the game preconceptions have formed the role positioning of historical figures, and they will misunderstand history.

Some teachers complained that the diaries written by students now are all about "Honor of Kings", DOTA, and pig teammates. One of the compositions written by primary school students, "Jing Ke in My Eyes", has been widely circulated on the Internet. In the diary, Jing Ke became a female character. “If she performs normally, she can be super awesome and even win an exciting MVP (best performer in the game). Although she cannot compete with Li Bai, Liu Bei, Han Xin, Miyamoto Musashi and other powerful characters snatch wild monsters, but she can at least pick up a red buff from them (game terminology refers to the buff status - reporter's note)."

In "Glory of the King", Jing Ke becomes a woman, the poet Li Bai becomes an assassin, the famous doctor Bian Que is a poison master, and Zhuge Liang's profession is a mage... According to Guangming Daily online voting The survey shows that over 70% of netizens believe that "game design must respect history" regarding the phenomenon of games tampering with the gender of historical figures.

"Guangming Daily" once published an article titled "Is Jing Ke a female? Can primary school students learn history well by playing "Honor of Kings"?" The article believes that "Honor of Kings" uses historical figures as game characters, but they are not linked to the historical background and characters' experiences. The content and spirit are emptied out and are in name only.

"People's Daily" later reprinted the article and angrily said that making fun of ancient celebrities is only frivolous and does not show respect. When history is disfigured or even dismembered, not only are the ancients offended, but modern people are disturbed, it also misleads the younger generations and pales the souls of young people. Not everything can be played. When developing mobile games, there are responsibilities on top of profits. If profit is the priority and even primary school students are not spared, I am afraid there will be only shame but no glory.

Due to pressure from public opinion, "Honor of Kings" changed the name of the character "Jing Ke" to "Ake" in the experience server. After the name change, the story background of the game characters was also changed, but players did not buy it.

Li Han believes that when primary school students learn something, they will have a "preconceived idea" in it. For primary school students whose historical concepts are not yet mature, it is easy to form wrong understandings, and it is difficult to ensure that it will not affect the Children's normal history class learning will also cause trouble to the teacher's teaching.

The real-name system has become a fiction

In order to prevent minors from playing games for a long time and delaying their studies, the "Honor of Kings" game client issued an announcement about the real-name system for the game. The final deadline of the notice shows that after May 17, players who have not completed the real-name authentication steps through Tencent Games’ real-name registration and anti-addiction system will no longer be able to enter the game. According to the anti-addiction system, players under the age of 18 can only play for two hours a day.

At the end of 2016, the Ministry of Culture issued the "Notice on Regulating Online Game Operations and Strengthening Interim and Post-Exit Supervision." The new regulations clearly stipulate that online game operating companies should require users to register with their real names using valid identity documents. , and save user registration information, and shall not provide in-game recharge or consumption services to users who log in using guest mode. On May 1, 2017, the new regulations officially came into effect, and online games owned by NetEase, Tencent and others have started real-name authentication.

In fact, the "Online Game Anti-Addiction System" has been officially implemented as early as 2007, but it has never achieved very good results.

When reporters from China Youth Daily and China Youth Online searched Taobao using keywords such as real name and proxy authentication, many real-name certified merchants also popped up. One of them had 867 transactions in a single month. When searching for "ID card number" online, a large amount of ID card information appeared. The reporter tried to use the ID card information that can be easily searched online in the mobile game and successfully completed the real-name authentication.

It can be said that there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. A primary school student also posted a post complaining about the useless real-name system, "As a primary school forest, I am handicapped and a rookie. I am always said to be a jungler, and I always shrink in group play. However, I will not give up this game because of the real-name system. I asked for real-name before. At that time, I found an option for passport authentication, and after filling it out, I passed it! You’re welcome, please call me Lei Feng!” “I’m a student party member. I finally had a vacation. I heard that the real-name system was required. I was so panicked. I’m so smart. I randomly found an ID card online and it was authenticated. No one can stop me from doing illegal things!”

In response, representatives of the National People’s Congress, Director of the Hunan Provincial Nuclear Industry Geology Bureau, and Hunan Democratic League He Jihua, deputy chairman of the Provincial Party Committee, said that real-name authentication exists in name only in the mobile game market. Online payment methods do bring speed and convenience to citizens, but the frequent incidents of children and teenagers falling into the "consumption trap" of games in our country should arouse the great attention of parents and national regulatory authorities. He suggested that companies should strictly implement real-name authentication for mobile games. Every time a user logs in to a mobile game account, he or she should perform face recognition to ensure that the face and ID are combined into one. Anyone who cannot perform identity recognition is considered a minor and is prohibited from use. Only in this way can adults and minor users be effectively distinguished.
