Yeah... everybody knows that. That's the only thing people can do to reach success and economic safety, unless your parents are rich.
Just watched on CBC a 1-hour program on the training and lives of the Chinese kids... and they don't seem very excited. They suffer with tons of training, but they never give up because they feel they owe their parents and teachers everything for being there for them.
The kids from a particular school... all come from tiny towns in the most rural areas of China and are sent to Beijing by their parents coz they know they can't give their kids much... and the parents only got to see their kids like once every 3 or 4 years, after the school paid for the parent's bus tickets.pretty sad stuff, but as the same time there's some good inspiring things going on with all that.
