Abstract

Life and death education has been absent in Chinese colleges and universities for a long time. In recent years, there have been frequent incidents highlighting college students' indifference to life. This has brought the true significance of life and death education back into the public eye. Such education not only aids college students in forming a proper perspective on life and death and contemplating life's meaning but also helps them recognize the value of each individual. By examining the current status of life-and-death education development both domestically and internationally, this paper outlines the challenges encountered by Chinese college students in the realm of life-and-death education. These challenges include the overshadowing of traditional culture, the neglect of family education, the absence of a school-based approach, and the inadequacy of local theories. In view of the aforementioned issues, drawing on Chinese local culture, this paper proposes recommendations from two perspectives: (1) Discipline penetration; (2) Combining traditional culture; (3) Shaping environment; (4) Integrating resources to carry out activities.
