After the Ministry of Education lifted the ban on marriage for college students in 2005, students in Shanghai colleges began to get marriage licenses, but there were no reports of pregnancies or births. Recently, Liu Xiao (a pseudonym), a third-year female student at a Shanghai university, became意外 pregnant and news of her impending marriage has spread. Currently, at four months pregnant, she has applied to the school for a one-year leave of absence to await childbirth, and may thus become the first "undergraduate mother" at a Shanghai university. After a female university student becomes pregnant, does the school offer any special "preferential treatment"? How is maternity leave handled? Will it affect graduation? These questions have become topics of attention beyond the event itself.
