The environment, as the external living condition of human being, has a great influence on the growth of children. Since the implementation of the reform and open door policy, the living environment of Chinese people is more and more modernized and metropolitanized. The effects of these changes are plural. The mechanization reduces the labour work, the metropolitanization is distancing people from the natural environment. On one hand, the chances of physical activities for children are becoming less and less. On the other hand, their studying time is increasing, and accompanied by the decreasing of sleep time and the changing of eating habit. Thus some of the indicators of children's health in China are worsening. These show that the radical changes of living environment negatively influence the growth of Chinese children. It is suggested that it is essential to raise student's awareness of health in modern time, to emphasize physical education and establish more facilities for children's activities.
