In a survey conducted by the Capital Normal University's counseling center last year, 77 percent of respondents admitted that they had their mobile phones on for 12 or more hours a day, with 33.55 percent leaving them on a 24/7 model.
Moreover, 65 percent "felt somehow anxious without their mobile phones by their side" and nine out of ten said they could not do without their phones. The volume may increase this year as the mobile Internet industry is booming in China.
