Liu Yiting's parents and I are both from Sichuan. When the Wenchuan earthquake occurred in 2008, Liu Yiting had already taken part in the work. I don't know what great contribution they have made to their hometown, even if they have, they must be insignificant. Otherwise, the media would have reported it as a household name. At that time, many unknown international students and Chinese came to lend a helping hand.
Because I work in colleges and universities, I often do academic exchanges in foreign universities and have a lot of contact with domestic students, so I know something about studying abroad. In the past two decades, there have been more and more China students from the mainland, breaking the previous situation that the Chinese community was dominated by Hongkong people and Taiwan Province people. The number of international students from Chinese mainland is not only large, but also young, and they are distributed in many majors. Business school is the most crowded place for students in China, and it is also the most difficult major to find a job at present. Relatively speaking, it is not easy for liberal arts students to find a job. No matter whether at their own expense or at public expense, with or without scholarships, most of the international students I meet are diligent, and there may be rich dude who mixed diplomas abroad, but I have little contact with them. There is no way to force China students to be diligent, because the first language is not English, and they spend more time on homework and exams than local students. They have a strong ability to take care of themselves abroad, cook their own meals, arrange their own extracurricular activities, and can stand loneliness. Of course, there will be some hardships in life that domestic children can't understand, but most of them have excellent academic performance.
Contemporary international students in Liu Yiting (she belongs to the post-80s generation, and now she is studying for the post-90s generation) have done very well at home and abroad after graduation. Some of them have done very well in their own industries, teaching in famous universities and working in internationally renowned financial institutions, but their parents are very low-key, and have never read any books or listened to any lectures. I don't preach my successful experience of quality education everywhere. I didn't feel great in educating children when I entered a famous university. Later, I immigrated overseas with my children, and I didn't feel much higher than others. I just chose another way of life. The success of children's education depends on time. Don't jump to conclusions so early.
