Status and Security
This article is really just pointing out the cultural gap between Chinese and Canadian values played out in education. I'm white and my wife is Chinese. When at her family functions everything comes down to two things: status and security. No one talks about what they are interested in, world events, sports etc. It all comes down to money, possessions and jobs (status, not fulfillment). All reenforced by scaring the kids into professional careers they don't have the ability for or are interest in. Asians do well academically because that is their sole focus. My wife had her undergrad and Masters (along with living expenses) paid for by her parents and didn't work until after graduation
我有个疑问是这个白人为什么要和来自这样一个家庭背景的受过高等教育的中国女人结婚呢?
