During China’s annual Two Sessions, CGTN launched a global campaign called \”Ask China Expats,\” inviting people worldwide to ask questions about the country and encouraging foreigners living in China to answer them. Vietnamese vlogger Nguyễn Thị Thanh Thanh, currently studying and residing in China, participated by responding to questions from friends in Vietnam about China’s education system.
Thanh shared her observations, highlighting the Chinese saying, \”Pursuing scholarship surmounts all other occupations.\” She noted that Chinese students dedicate themselves to their studies from a young age, with families placing significant importance on education. This strong emphasis reflects the hope that children can gain a competitive advantage early in life.
According to Thanh, this cultural dedication to learning is deeply ingrained in Chinese society. The rigorous academic environment and the value placed on education by families contribute to the nation’s educational prowess. Thanh’s insights provide a unique perspective on how education shapes the lives of Chinese students and the aspirations of their families.
