Why many Chinese students now choose to go abroad? 500-word essay

It seems that at least more than one million Chinese students agree with this view. Only 9.15 million people took the national college entrance examination this year, compared with 10.5 million in 2008. China's Ministry of Education said that a considerable part of the decrease in college entrance examination participants was due to studying abroad and not taking the college entrance examination. China has the largest number of students studying abroad among all countries in the world. According to statistics from the Chinese Ministry of Education, the number of students studying abroad has increased by 20% annually in the past few years. In 2011 alone, 340,000 students studied abroad. The number of young international students is growing even more rapidly. According to data from Chinese state media, the number of students studying abroad before college age increased by 30% last year. People have generally changed the concept of overprotecting their children and believe that high school is the best time to study abroad. The article also mentioned that the families of students studying abroad are gradually transitioning from rich people to ordinary people. Last year, three-quarters of the families who studied abroad had an annual income of no more than 300,000 yuan, while the upper middle class in China's big cities generally had annual incomes of more than 300,000 yuan. The article said that most Chinese people expect to be guaranteed to find a good job after studying abroad. However, a recent survey of one hundred Chinese billionaires born after 1980 found that only 6 of them had studied abroad. At the same time, many Chinese families are immigrating abroad, or considering immigrating. Last year, China surpassed the United Kingdom and became the country with the largest number of immigrants to Australia.
