Liu Demin, a judge of the Higher People's Court of Guangdong Province, has been waiting for a notice of the opening of Shanghai. This time he was the plaintiff and the defendant was one of the owners of Shanghai International Theme Park Co., Ltd., Shanghai Disneyland.
As an ordinary tourist at Shanghai Disneyland, Liu Demin’s lawsuit revolves around a question: Is the child ticket sold to real children or can it be sold to people below 1.4 meters in height?
In January of this year, he went to Shanghai Disneyland with his child who had just passed his 10th birthday. The staff asked the child to buy an adult ticket because the child was over 1.4 meters tall. According to the ticketing standard here, the height of 1.4 meters is the upper limit for the purchase of children's tickets.
The question raised by Liu Demin is also a common question for many parents who bring their children to Shanghai Disneyland. On a well-known online ticketing platform, China Youth Daily and China Youth Online reporters noticed that every once in a while, customers would raise questions about the purchase criteria for children's tickets. The answer they usually get is that if the child is over 1.4 meters tall, "If you want to go in and play, you can only buy (adult ticket)", or "1.4 meters or so, you can buy a child ticket and try your luck."
However, Liu Demin believes that the 1.4-meter child ticket standard should have been eliminated. It is scientific, reasonable, equal and easy to operate to define children's tickets by age, and it can also reflect respect for people.
He consulted the Disneyland Children's Tickets Standards in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Paris, and North America, and found that in addition to Shanghai Disney, these Disneyland sell children's tickets on an age-appropriate basis.
For example, Tokyo Disneyland stipulates that children under the age of 4 (excluding) are exempt from ticketing, children aged 4 to 11 are purchasing tickets, students aged 12 to 17 are purchasing student tickets, and adults over 18 are required to purchase adult tickets; Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland It is stipulated that children under 2 years old are exempt from ticketing, children aged 3 to 11 are purchasing children's tickets, and those over 12 years old are purchasing full price tickets. California and Orlando Disneyland in the United States are also age-standard and can be purchased from 3 to 9 years old.
Before Liu Demin went to Shanghai Disneyland, he had already purchased a 499 yuan "parent ticket" online. When he exchanged paper tickets on the day of admission, the staff at the ticket exchange window thought that his child's height exceeded the child ticket purchase standard. Before the ruler scribbled in the ticket window, a staff member observed that his child was less than 1.4 meters, but another staff member in the window who was responsible for checking the identity of the visitor insisted that the child reached 1.4 meters. In order not to affect other tourists, he bought an adult ticket for the child at the request of the other party. A friend who accompanied him, the child was only 9 years old, and was asked to buy an adult ticket for "super high."
Shanghai Disneyland's holiday adult ticket is 575 yuan, children's ticket is 431 yuan; weekday adult ticket 399 yuan, child ticket 299 yuan. In other words, the children's ticket can be discounted at 144 yuan on holidays and 100 yuan on weekdays.
A similar debate over the standard for ticket purchases for children has also taken place at train stations. As early as 2010, the former Ministry of Railways revised the "Regulations for Railway Passenger Transport", stipulating that children between 1.2 and 1.5 meters tall traveling with adults should purchase children's tickets; when they exceed 1.5 meters, they should buy full-price tickets. According to the previous regulations, children between 1.1 and 1.4 meters in height should purchase children's tickets.
At the two national conferences in 2017, Hu Wei, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice president of the Shanghai Academy of Education, made further recommendations. He hoped that the railway system would modify the children's ticketing standards as soon as possible, raising the train-free standard to 1.3 meters and the full-vote standard to 1.6 meters.
The basis for those who advocate adjustments is that Chinese children are relatively “longâ€. It is actually unreasonable to simply measure the child’s ticket for a child by height. The data shows that the average height of Chinese children continues to break new highs. The latest edition of the "Children's Height and Weight Standards Table" shows that the current Chinese 6-year-old boy is about 111.2 cm to 121 cm tall, the girl is 109.7 cm to 119.6 cm, the 11-year-old boy is 132.1 cm to 152.1 cm, and the girl is 133.4. Cm ~ 153.3 cm.
Liu Demin told the China Youth Daily and Zhongqing Online reporter that after he filed a lawsuit this year, in April, a staff member of Shanghai International Theme Park Co., Ltd. contacted him to ask him to purchase an adult ticket without determining the child’s height. Apologize and offered to return the overpaid ticket, hoping that he would accept the settlement and withdraw the complaint.
However, Liu Demin reiterated his claim in the indictment: I hope Shanghai Disneyland will revise the current child ticket standard, refer to the same Hong Kong Disneyland in China, and set the child ticket standard to be 3 years old to 11 years old, under 3 years old. Children are free of charge. The other party accepts his condition and he is willing to withdraw the case. Until now, the other party has not responded.
In the indictment, another request made by Liu Demin was that the court was ordered to return the overpaid fare.
Tian Xiangxia, deputy secretary-general of the Institute of Minors Law of the Shanghai Law Society, believes that although children’s tickets seem to be “small moneyâ€, they are not trivial. According to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which is signed by many countries, all children’s interests should be implemented in the interests of children.
“Children’s tickets are based on age standards or height standards or double standards. The principle of maximizing children’s interests should be implemented.†Tian Xiangxia said that maximizing children’s interests requires all children’s behaviors, and the state and society should take the best interests of the children as the primary consideration. .
At present, in addition to Shanghai Disneyland, the children's ticket standard for Shanghai Oriental Pearl TV Tower and Shanghai Ocean Aquarium is also limited to a height of 1.4 meters. The theme parks in many places in China, such as Shenzhen Happy Valley and Zhuhai Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, have set the children's ticket standard to be less than 1.5 meters, and also sell student tickets.
China's "Law on the Protection of Minors" stipulates that museums, zoos and other places shall be free or open to minors in accordance with relevant regulations. Tian Xiangxia said that although "minors" are strictly legal concepts, they refer to citizens under the age of 18, but the laws do not directly and clearly stipulate that the establishment of children's ticket standards is based on age.
However, he pointed out that as a play organization that purchases tickets for age-appropriate age standards in the world, Disneyland's separate use of height standards in China first violates its industry practice and “has the suspicion of applying unfair treatment to Chinese childrenâ€.
Liu Demin also stressed: "The standard for children's tickets for the Shanghai Disneyland theme park is very unreasonable. Compared with other countries and regions, it is obviously unequal to Chinese children."
The United Nations principle of maximizing the interests of children also advocates that matters concerning children should be reformed with the development of society and respect for the interests of children.
Tian Xiangxia believes that the original height standards for children's tickets have become more and more inhuman with the development of society, and there is some degree of discrimination against children who are younger than children. With the improvement of nutritional conditions, the average height of children is getting higher and higher. Many children under the age of 12 have exceeded the standard of admission, which has caused many children to appear “heterogeneous†among children of the same age, and “harm†to a certain extent. Their self-esteem.
He suggested that the standard for the purchase of children's tickets for Disneyland should be based on the "age + height" standard, which is based on age and height.
It is reported that the case will be heard in the Chuansha court of the Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Court in the near future. The China Youth Daily and China Youth Online will continue to track the progress of the case.
