Why should parents save money to send their children to study abroad?

The history of overseas Chinese can be divided into three periods, and the ongoing immigration to study abroad in the past 30 years of reform and opening up is the third time. This period can be roughly divided into three stages. The first time began in the late 1970s, and a group of descendants of old intellectuals who were persecuted and demobilized during the Cultural Revolution went overseas with the encouragement and support of their parents and overseas relatives.

1The second wave of emigration started in the early 1990s to improve the personal environment and find a way out (retreat) for children and officials to study. This wave of emigration was intermittent and ran through the whole 1990s, from "streaking" officials and China people who got rich first to social elites. The purpose of emigration was to seek better development, better education and transfer property.

Let me take 2002 as an example. After China joined the WTO, the wealth of the elite and the middle class increased greatly, and the so-called third wave of emigration appeared. The seemingly unattainable immigration tide has spread to all China people who have a little money in their pockets, or whose houses can be sold for more than one million. An online survey shows that 60% -88% of high-income people want to emigrate, and the article points out that more than120,000 China people have almost thought of emigrating.

Compared with the first two waves of immigration since the reform and opening up, the immigration tide at this stage has remarkable characteristics: first, people who have seen or seen some money are a little more careful, and almost all of them have sent their children out, and their enthusiasm can be described as "blind"; Second, the first two stages of immigration are mainly those who are eager to work abroad. Today, reunification has become a matter for parents to send their children abroad, or even for parents to "force" their children to study abroad. Many parents emigrate for their children. One third of these children study abroad for the vast majority of immigrants, and the first two parallel purposes of immigrant students are more than seeking knowledge, getting a foreign diploma, transferring assets and seeing the world. The purpose of this wave of students is simply unbearable: immigration, but also their parents or pass!

Why did you immigrate? Why do children go to strange western countries? My experience in contacting with students and parents tells me that the power behind most immigrants is to seek security, stability and future security. With the rapid economic development in China, China people have gone through the road of getting rich in more than half a country for hundreds of years in 30 years. However, those wealthy people in China, facing the gap between us and the West in many aspects in some developed countries, feel helpless or desperate, so they have the idea of taking a "shortcut". Pocket money has been rising for a long time, and immigrants from strange western countries have also opened their doors to make money, which has created conditions for elites to take shortcuts. Therefore, sending children overseas so that they can enjoy democracy, rule of law, welfare, a stable and harmonious society and a stable life that China people can't enjoy for a long time has become the common aspiration of wealthy parents, which has become the main reason for today's student immigration.

China's history of going abroad can be roughly divided into three periods, the third period is the continuous wave of immigrants studying abroad in the past 30 years of reform and opening up. This period can be roughly divided into three stages. The first stage began in the late 1970s, when young people full of spirit of exploration and thirst for knowledge went abroad to study, together with a group of descendants of persecuted veteran cadres and old intellectuals during the Cultural Revolution, with the encouragement of their parents and the support of overseas relatives,

In the early 1990s, the second wave of studying abroad began to improve their personal environment, and officials sought a way out for their children. This wave continued intermittently throughout the 1990s, from immigrants driven by "naked officials" and China people who got rich first to social elites, all seeking better development, better education and property transfer.

After 2002, when China joined the WTO, the wealth of the elite and the middle class increased greatly, and a new wave of immigrants studying abroad was called the third wave. In the past, the seemingly unreachable wave of studying abroad has spread to all China people who have some money in their pockets or can sell their houses for more than100000 yuan. According to an online survey, 60%-88% of high-income people want to emigrate. What's more, it is pointed out that almost all China people whose annual income exceeds 6.5438+0.2 million yuan have thought about emigration.

Compared with the first two waves of immigrants studying abroad after the reform and opening up, the current wave of immigrants studying abroad has remarkable characteristics: First, those who have a little money or a little heart to see the world are almost sending their children out one after another, and their enthusiasm can be described as "blindness"; Second, in the first two stages of studying abroad, the desire of immigrants was mainly at work. Today, all this has turned into parents sending their children abroad, or even parents "forcing" their children to study abroad. Many parents emigrate overseas for their children; Third, the purpose of these children studying abroad is mostly immigration. Compared with the previous two overseas students, the purpose of this wave of overseas students is painfully simple: to emigrate, to be instructed by their parents!

Why do you want to emigrate? Why send children to a strange western country? My experience of contacting so many international students and parents tells me that the motivation behind most immigrants studying abroad is to seek a stable, stable and safe future. With the rapid development of China's economy, it took China people 30 years to get rich, and most countries took hundreds of years. However, the rich people in China feel helpless and even desperate when facing the gap between us and some western developed countries in many aspects, so they have the idea of taking a "shortcut". With more money in his pocket, he is no stranger to the outside world. Western immigrant countries have also opened the door to making money, creating conditions for elites to take "shortcuts". Therefore, sending their children overseas to enjoy democracy, the rule of law, welfare, a stable and harmonious society and a guaranteed life that China people may not enjoy for a long time has become the common aspiration of wealthy parents and the main reason for immigrants to study abroad today.
