Are most students studying abroad reluctant to return to their home countries?

I call this kind of situation "East becomes West", "East" refers to the East, and here we can understand it as China. The so-called "East becomes" means success in China and the opportunity to study abroad. Opportunity is a kind of success in a sense. "Western" generally means that the majority of Chinese students studying abroad in Western countries make up the majority. The so-called "Western" means that they do not want to return to their home country to develop, but they have plans to achieve a career abroad. Because the author has only been exposed to education in China and the United States, I will describe myself as a Chinese student studying in the United States: Why are we unwilling to return to China, but we want to stay in the United States for development?

1. Chinese products are gradually entering the U.S. market, and China is slowly replacing the United States. (More chances!). The United States is a diverse country that belongs to the world. More and more Chinese are immigrating to the United States, and the Chinese people's position in the United States is becoming stronger and stronger. For example, professionals such as doctors and nursing staff have gradually become the domain of Asians. Fewer and fewer Americans are withdrawing from such "powerful" industries, and more and more Chinese are taking advantage of every opportunity to make their own. Future generations will join these industries. In the same way, after Chinese students see such good employment prospects in the United States, they will definitely feel that foreign countries are more suitable for them. In China, the concept of forced employment of undergraduate graduates who are still handing out flyers will naturally be spurned by them. .

2. Complete liberation in an educational sense. (Better Education!). In the United States, there is no compulsion to learn concepts. There are no extracurricular tutoring classes, no late self-study, no corporal punishment, and no studying for exams. When many Chinese students studying in the United States stay with American families, they often have no homework to do at night. There is only one reason. The homework burden in the United States is many times less than that in China. There is only a little homework, and after you finish it, you will have your own free time to do other meaningful things. If you were a Chinese parent, you would never let you escape so easily. "Smelly child, are you done with your homework? Give me another three hours to memorize books!!" In American high schools, there are rich and colorful textbook contents, and even more There are countless exciting off-campus activities. There are cooking classes, driving classes, robot operation classes... For extracurricular activities, there are football, cheerleading, basketball, skating... And what about Chinese students? I think we are all busy with the hot college entrance examination review questions, memorizing them by rote every day, just for the day of the college entrance examination. When will I enjoy the fun of learning in happiness? Most children in China do not grow up happily due to various pressures such as entering higher schools. Middle school students in the United States obviously have a higher happiness index, because the author went to high school in the United States, and I know this very well. Therefore, if there are good job opportunities abroad, people would prefer to stay abroad for the sake of the next generation.

3. The more open you are, the more you will be admired by students. (Opening minds!). In ordinary American high schools and universities, several school dances are held every year. At the dance, every girl wears a low-cut sexy backless skirt. It is a Hollywood-style entertainment party that allows more Chinese people to see the United States. "openness" and "enthusiasm". Without covering up or covering up, I hugged and kissed each other unabashedly in the high school classroom. I was not criticized by the teacher, but received blessings and praises from many teachers. If the same scene were to be repeated in front of Chinese teachers, haha, the final conclusion would be completely different. China's traditional feudal ideology is passed down from our ancestors, and it is of course very difficult to change it. But today’s international students are interested in this kind of “non-feudal education” abroad.

4. Chinese parents always want their children to be number one. (To be first!). Take my grandfather as an example. When I was studying in China, he always wanted me to be first in the class and to be the first to arrive at class every day. He told me: "The person who goes to class first every day is the one who is in class." "Study the best here!" It actually sounds ridiculous, but that's it. Chinese parents pursue their children’s progress. Not only should children be at the top in their studies, but they should also be first in everything they do. Many people should know that Chinese people like to be the first to do anything.

When queuing, Chinese people always want to be at the front, so they often squeeze through people to get a good seat. This habit of Chinese people is gradually accepted by foreigners. After those international students understood all this, they still chose to "be the latter".

5. A free outlook on life. (Freedom!). In China, elementary school, junior high school and high school are the most difficult periods of time for people on campus, while in college, it is as relaxing as having fun. In the United States, elementary school, junior high school and high school are generally the easiest stages, while college is indeed the harshest stage. It is said that American universities are lenient in entry and strict in exit. Therefore, many American students' outlook on life changes after graduating from high school. Some American students choose to be farmers after graduating from high school, some say they want to be nurses, some say they want to be ice cream merchants, etc. What will happen if Chinese parents hear these ideals? "What are you talking about? Have I raised you for more than ten years in vain?" These "ridiculous" ideas would make them angry to death. Academic impact: Young scholars often have to be busy with things that have nothing to do with academics when they return home, which greatly affects their energy. Returning to China to do scientific research is often easy to be controlled by academic authorities and leaders. Without so-called connections or backers, there will be no scientific research projects. As a result, it is difficult to produce results. Judging from the most controversial "Tang Jun Educational Education" incident some time ago, China does indeed attach great importance to academic qualifications. But in the United States, no matter what your academic qualifications are, you are called ruthless only if you have real abilities! When will China’s tradition of only looking at academic qualifications and not ability change?

6. Don’t pretend to be dead, what you want is this atmosphere! (Interesting facts!). In ordinary American high schools and universities, students are allowed to wear gold and silver jewelry, dress casually (as long as it fits the school atmosphere), and there is no need for a restrictive atmosphere during lectures. All of this respects the students' choices. Once, a netizen asked me, "Are students allowed to dye their hair in American schools?" In fact, the answer is very simple, of course it is allowed. Moreover, in the United States, you see colorful hair. Even if you dye your hair, others will not notice it. In Chinese primary schools, the first school discipline is to listen to the teacher with your hands behind your back during class. In the United States, it is not a problem for teachers to sit at a desk and teach.

7. Chinese people lack consciousness. (Lack of mental quality). I just visited the Port of Chicago in the United States yesterday. Everyone was very conscious about obeying the traffic order. Whether they were queuing in the amusement park or waiting for the traffic light, I never saw anyone disrupting the order. And when I traveled to the Great Wall in Beijing, I really saw some of the little problems of the Chinese people, which is that they like to crowd in. To put it bluntly, they still have poor self-consciousness. Whether there are many people or few people, it will always make people feel unhappy.

8. Precocious mentality and advanced technology. (Early mature). In the United States, most students can drive when they are over 16 years old, and then they can drive and take people on trips. They have long wanted to leave the embrace of their parents and see social trends from a new perspective. Chinese students, on the other hand, like to rely on their parents very much and are unwilling to leave the warmth of home to meet a strange life. American girls start getting exposed to cosmetics when they are 11 or 12 years old, and then they begin to accept the washing of love. Many babies are born during the period of high school graduation... By the time they are in their 20s, crow's feet and orange peel will appear. In a few years, Age spots appeared...and Chinese girls are very good at taking care of themselves. Even in their 20s, they still have baby faces.

9. Americans cannot save money because they spend it on entertainment. (Money for entertainment). A very controversial thing happened to my parents yesterday. My father always wanted to take us to play with money, and learn while playing to enrich social knowledge. But my mother was worried about my teeth and always wanted my father to save money to earn back the money for my braces. The two of them didn't want to go together because they had different pursuits. Americans like to enjoy life while struggling, but Chinese people really strive to enjoy life.

10. In the United States, personal privacy is the most important. (Personal Privacy).

In China, many children sleep in the same bed as their parents. There are public *** bathrooms, public *** toilets, public ***... many are shared together... personal privacy is exposed one by one. In addition, in China, one room can be used for multiple purposes. It is no problem to put computers, TVs, sewing machines, etc. in the room. There are many rooms of any nature, and anything can be put in one room. In American families, the facilities in the house generally classify same-sex items into the same category. The studio is the studio, the bedroom is the bedroom, and the living room is the living room. Bedrooms and studios are never confused, and what is meant is what it is.

11. Americans will have a secure life no matter how poor they are. (Min. Living Security). Objectively speaking, the lives of most poor people in the United States are comparable to those of some middle-class families in China. The economic recession in the United States is obvious to everyone, but even if you are poor, you are not that poor. At least the government will provide partial relief funds and distribute food stamps every month. Every time the middle- and upper-class wealthy families pay taxes and raise funds, they will also be regularly distributed to the poor. Therefore, many Americans are considered poor in the United States, but for Chinese people, they are not really poor.

12. Domestic housing prices are too high. (Too much housing prices). International students who make a good living with full scholarships abroad cannot afford to buy a house in a big city in China. However, the traditional Chinese concept is that you need to have your own house when you get married and start a family. Relatively speaking, the United States has a more open concept, and many people do not buy houses. If you buy a house, it will be more affordable based on your income and housing prices in the United States.

There are actually too many personal reasons why Chinese students do not want to return to China for development, but the author believes that no matter where they are, what suits them is the best. There is no need to follow other people’s arrangements. The only one they can trust is own abilities!
