China in moral dilemma after tale of girls who sold virginity

Seventeen Chinese schoolgirls, most under the age of 14, sold their virginity to a businessman, according to a domestic media report that has raised concerns about the morals of a country obsessed by money and troubled by the fracturing of traditional family ties. Although prostitution is increasingly evident nationwide, the case has received wide coverage because （1）most of the girls were not only coaxed into having sex for cash, but persuaded schoolmates to do the same.
Police have arrested Deng Jun, an estate agent from Nanyang, in Henan province, the Shanghai Daily reported. ________________________________________（据说，他承认付钱与这些女孩发生性关系，并让她们帮助寻找处女。）. Twelve of them were under 14, the age of consent in China. Eleven came from the same school.
The paper quoted unnamed school officials as saying that the girls lacked parental guidance. As is common in poor rural areas, the parents of most of them had migrated to cities in search of work. Left in the care of grandparents, （2）the minors were particularly vulnerable to material enticements.
The inquiry began last September when parents asked the school why their daughters were suddenly wearing new dresses and spending money they had not been given by relatives. The girls admitted selling their virginity and revealed Mr Deng's mobile phone number.
（3）China's moral compass has been spinning wildly since the start of the government's economic opening policy in 1978. Communist ideology has been replaced by a worship of money, while the movement of 100 million migrant workers to the cities has transformed traditional family relations. At the same time, the influx of global culture, particularly through the internet, has encouraged people to experiment more in their personal lives.
Prostitution, eradicated or hidden during the early years of communist rule, is now rampant and openly offered at karaoke bars, hairdressing salons and hotels. So many students are getting involved that Chongqing Normal University and Shanghai's Fudan University last year announced that （4）undergraduates would be expelled for having one-night stands, working as prostitutes, or living as mistresses.
President Hu Jintao has sought to address these perceived ethical problems by tightening controls on television and internet content. Earlier this year, he announced a new moral code - the Eight Glories and Eight Shames - which among other things called on the country's 1.3 billion people to "be disciplined and law-abiding, not chaotic and lawless", and to "love the motherland, do not harm it".
