For most of the last two or three years, Chinese universities have adopted rigorous closed management policies to contain the COVID-19 epidemic.

在过去两三年的大部分时间里，中国的大学采取严格的封闭式管理政策，以遏制新冠疫情。

In a poll by Southern Metropolis Daily in late May, while more than 96 percent of college students said they support the idea of opening their universities, they also expressed concerns that it may exert more pressure on maintaining order on campus.

《南方都市报》5月底发布的一项民意调查显示，虽然有超过96%的大学生支持开放其大学校园的想法，但他们也担心，这可能会给维持校园秩序带来更大的压力。

According to a report by the news website ThePaper.cn, some people have been offering paid services to enter the premises of Wuhan University by changing the profile pictures in the university's mini-app to let them enter the gates. The university responded that such actions are not allowed and they would also check the profile photo when they exit the campus.

根据澎湃新闻的报道，有些人提供付费服务，通过改变武汉大学小程序中的个人资料照片让他们进入学校大门。校方回应道，不允许这样的行为，他们会在离开校园时检查个人资料照片。

On social media platforms, people have complained about the great difficulty in obtaining a booking. Some have claimed they can get tickets for others at a price, yet all universities said that they do not charge for tickets.

在社交媒体平台上，人们纷纷抱怨预约订票太困难。有些人声称他们可以为他人有偿提供门票，但所有大学都表示他们并未收取门票费用。

"The top universities are the academic sanctuary for most Chinese students, and they have rich history and great cultural atmosphere," she said. "I want to visit Peking University to feel the atmosphere of one of the best universities in China, which will motivate me to continue learning."

“一流的大学是大多数中国学生心目中的学术圣地，它们历史悠久，文化氛围浓厚，”她说。“我想参观北京大学，感受中国最好的大学之一的氛围，这将激励我继续学习。”

Wang Qing, a researcher at the Beijing Institute of Technology's School of Humanities and Social Sciences, suggested that universities' opening-up needs to go beyond allowing the public to enter the brick-and-mortar buildings.

北京理工大学人文与社会科学学院特别副研究员王青指出，物理空间的开放只是大学开放的表象或结果，而非最核心内容。

"Universities should not monopolize the rights to produce and evaluate knowledge. They should create knowledge together with the outside world," he told China Science Daily.

他在接受《中国科技报》采访时说道：“大学不再垄断知识的生产权、评估权，而是与外界共同创造知识。”
