The phenomenon of Qidu Island going abroad

Qidu Middle School is surrounded by water on three sides and has no walls. Standing on the rostrum of the playground, you can see the endless winter fields. On the flagpole next to the playground, there is a national flag flying high, and the red flag is picturesque. Under the five-star red flag, several children playing basketball are desperately.

Many of them will go overseas to reunite with their relatives in the near future and start a completely strange life.

The reporter found Xiao He and Xiao Ren (a pseudonym) in the basketball court. They are in Grade Three and Grade One respectively.

This semester may be the last semester for Xiaohe to study in China. His three sisters and mother have all got visas, and they are only waiting for new york's father to give the order and the whole family will emigrate. Xiao Ren's two sisters are also in new york. It is estimated that Xiaoren went abroad after graduating from senior three.

Besides video games, basketball is their biggest hobby. "It's boring to play now, because one of my best playmates went abroad in the first half of this year, and now I'm short of three." When they said this, they seemed a little lonely.

Xiao Huang is a senior three student this year. Like all newcomers, she likes to wear fashionable jeans with many pockets. Although she is beautiful, she doesn't fall in love as early as children of the same age in the city. She told reporters that in Qidu, the phenomenon of puppy love is less, because such feelings are very fragile. Once you go abroad, your life will change.

Xiao Huang will go abroad after getting his diploma next summer. But she doesn't want to go abroad at all, because she learned from her returning partners that working abroad is very hard, just like her sister. Her sister went to America eight years ago and hasn't returned yet because she doesn't have a green card. The year before last, my elder sister married a Fujian native who was also working, so my family could only wish them well from a distance.

There is no future to stay in China, because her academic performance is not very good, and she will definitely not be admitted to the university; Finding a job after graduation from vocational high school is not only low in salary, but also very hard. In contrast, it is better to go to America. Although the money earned is not much, it is dollars after all, and it is still very useful to send it home. When she talks about dollars, it is as natural as when we talk about RMB.

Although they will go abroad soon, they know almost nothing about the country they are going to.

The only thing Blackie knows is that the daytime in the United States is just the opposite of that in China. Every time I get a call from my father at home, it's night, but it's daytime there. But until now, he doesn't understand why, because he has never been exposed to world geography.

"What is the capital of the United States?"

New york? Hesitated for a long time, XiaoRen mumbled something to answer.

When reporters reported NBA, Niagara Falls, rock music, Hollywood and other words one by one, they still looked blank. In their minds, the world of America does not belong to them. This is just a big factory. They go to work and earn only dollars.

Asked about their greatest wish, Xiao Ren said without thinking, live a free life and do what he wants.

Xiao Huang pondered for a while and said: Make more money and try to go back to China to watch the Olympic Games in 2008.
