Early
Hong Kong and Macao Sudden Search
Mr. L is a Guangzhou friend I have known for many years.He knew that I had run through the education news line before, and began to ask me a few years ago to ask me about the promotion of Hong Kong colleges and universities, and prepared to arrange my son to apply.This summer, Mr. L's son scored more than 660 points in the college entrance examination.I told him that this score should be able to enter any university in Hong Kong. Unexpectedly, he replied: If you don't read it, I have called my son to enter Guangzhou Sun Yat -sen University!
It turned out that the anti -repair routine storm broke out in Hong Kong last year, especially during the period of being escorted by security considerations in the Hong Kong mainland.He was worried that his son was a mainlander. Under the increasingly fierce contradiction between China and Hong Kong, he was not a person on both sides. Even though he liked Hong Kong's education environment, he decided to abandon the idea of arranging his son to go to Hong Kong to further studies.
At that time, I had no regrets, and persuaded Mr. L to say that most Hong Kong people were still law -abiding. Some violence during the anti -repair case was only the behavior of individual people.After more than a month, I found that my view seems too optimistic.
In September, Hong Kong colleges and universities started school one after another, but in less than a month, it appeared again in a row like last year.For example, the University of Hong Kong Student Union Campus TV on September 1 on multiple social platforms, high -profile releases a spoof fragment full of hatement of mainland students, claiming that they are spy, and snatched Hong Kong Grand Scholarship resources, etc., which caused social uproar.
The University of Hong Kong subsequently issued a statement severely criticized, and campus TV was forced to remove the film.But shortly after the incident, a female student in Hong Kong University was attacked.
According to Hong Kong media reports, a 23 -year -old mainland female student was suddenly dripped from a high place by a 33 -year -old girl from a high place when she used her toilet on Tuesday. After leaving the toilet, she was abused by the mainland wife and attacked.Afterwards, the police arrested the local girl with alleged ordinary attacks.
Although the above incidents for mainland students are only sporadic cases, to a certain extent, it does reflect the current authenticity of Hong Kong society: there is a conflict between China and Hong Kong.It is often pushed to the cusp of conflicts.Mr. L was worried that his son was beaten in Hong Kong to be beaten. It turned out that it was not a night.
But strangely, even though the emotions of Hong Kong society have continued to rise, it seems that the willingness to go to Hong Kong to go to Hong Kong has not diminished.According to reports from the Hong Kong Wen report last month, some universities such as the University of Hong Kong, the University of Science and Technology, and the City University have risen the number of people who have admitted to mainland college candidates this year, which is surprising.
Among them, the increase of the city University was more than 15%higher.The Hong Kong University has also admitted 300 mainland students, and the number of admission to the School of Education, Science, and Engineering has increased by about 50 % compared with last year.
Regarding the social atmosphere of Hong Kong in the mainland and insisted on going to Hong Kong to further studies, I asked some friends who were teaching at the university.Based on their opinions, there are roughly three reasons: First of all, in recent years, in addition to leading economic friction between the two countries, Chinese students studying in the United States have also become cannon fodder.More and more parents of mainland China are worried that once the situation worsen, children will not be as stable as before.Some people began to transfer their children to study overseas this year, and Hong Kong near the mainland naturally became one of the choices.
Secondly, the century -old epidemic, which broke out earlier this year, caused the global political and economic situation.Now the epidemic is still rampant in Europe and the United States, and the U.S. epidemic continues.In addition to worrying about their children spend a lot of money in foreign countries, they can't read books, their lives are limited, and their children are also worried about their children's health and safety risks, so they have arranged for their children to go to Hong Kong's further stable Hong Kong studies.
Finally, the universities in Hong Kong also added scholarships to some mainland students of some schools this year, which also increased its attractiveness to mainland students.For example, Hong Kong earlier provided more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars a total scholarships from Baixiangling, Jiangsu Province earlier this year.In the end, Bai Xiangling was invited by the sincerity of the University of Hong Kong and applied for the school's financial major.
The above three points have prompted the phenomenon of the mainland to go to Hong Kong universities this year.But in all fairness, these factors are special circumstances.In recent years, the enthusiasm for studying in Hong Kong to study in Hong Kong has gradually fallen from high.The anti -repair campaign last year has accelerated this trend.In fact, according to my Hong Kong academic friends, many provincial champions in the mainland this year have abandoned their studies in Hong Kong. Most of the mainland students admitted by Hong Kong schools are unable to pass the college entrance examination candidates of Peking University.
There is no doubt that Hong Kong universities with an international perspective are still very attractive to many mainland students at this stage.However, at the same time, in recent years, Hong Kong's political disputes have continued to grow, coupled with the growth and growth of the words and deeds of hatement of mainland students, and gradually weakened the attraction of outstanding students from all over the world, including mainland students, to study in Hong Kong.If this trend continues, the development prospects of Hong Kong universities may be tight.Hong Kong Government officials and higher education circles will not be deceived by the appearance of the mainland students to go to Hong Kong this year!
