Chinese students are showing their interest and creative thinking in developing all kinds of apps（软件）to solve social problems and help enrich lives.
Li Xiang, a student at Zhejiang University, developed a mobile app with two schoolmates that can help users develop good habits by building and feeding electronic pets. The special electronic pet is generated（生成）in the app Weier, which sounds similar to the English word “well”. A user’s daily activities are used to help it grow.
“When users complete their daily exercise, their electronic pets will also be full of energy（能力）, and when they go to bed too late at night, their pets will have black circles under their eyes,” Li said. The electronic pet is like a projection of the user in the real world. But unlike the electronic pets that cared more about the similarity with the user’s appearance before, this app pays more attention to the user’s real self.
This app is one of more than 1400 projects developed by students from over 500 universities that are going to enter the 2022 Mobile App Creation Competition. Just as one of the workers for the competition said, every student should have the chance to create something that can change the world and make it a better place.

What will an electronic pet be like if its user stays up late？（）
