China on Saturday kicked off its army recruitment for 2014, focusing on recruiting youngsters with higher education background.

A ceremony was held at Tsinghua University to encourage college students in Beijing to join the army. More than 2,000 swarmed into  campus to consult or enroll.

Wang Yaping, the second Chinese female astronaut  to enter space, appeared at the ceremony and called on college students to take the initiative in joining the army and contribute to China's building of a strong military.

The Ministry of National Defense has told recruitment authorities to take in more college students than 2013.

In municipalities and provincial capitals, only young people of high school or higher education background are accepted.
