A joint statement released by the Ministry of Culture and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage required free entry for all public museums and memorials for the public in the next two years.

Zhejiang and Hubei provinces announced that all their provincial museums and memorials will receive visitors free of charge years ago. Wen Huibao,one of the leading newspaper in Shanghai says the statement has shown the central government's firm determination, and the fact is that it has invested a lot to push forward free entry project.

However, museums free of entry charge are experiencing a test of its service capability. They were confronted by visitors with bad manners.

Therefore the newspaper quotes some argument that the behavior of the general public should first be cultivated before enjoying the free entry benefit.

But some argue that the public should not be blamed. On the contrary, the museums should make more effort to improve their environment.

The article finally stresses that people's rights to enjoy free public cultural services should be observed.
