Chapter 299: America's Children

For Gao Xi to invite himself to the Yellowstone Ranch to play, the old man is obviously very happy, he and Gao Xi are not only fellow villagers, but also the distance between his hometown is very close, although he has never been back when he is so old, but for him, there has always been such a home in his heart, no matter how good the United States is, it is not his hometown after all, nor is it a spiritual stay.

This is the case for some people, especially the elderly, who have been in the United States all their lives, but when they are old, they have to return to their hometowns anyway and bury their bones in the places where their ancestors have lived for generations.

Of course, there are many people who are happy to think about it, and this kind of choice is also personal freedom, there is no right or wrong, just a difference in world view and outlook on life.

Xi Haijuan stood up and said, "Brother, uncle, I'll go and help my aunt cook." ”

A few men were chatting here, and she felt that it was no fun to stay, so she thought of helping with the cooking. In fact, the most important thing is that what the old man said just now made her feel a little unnatural all of a sudden, it is always weird to sit here, this is to escape.

"The little girl can cook?"

"Of course, Haijuan's craftsmanship is not bad, that is, a little worse than me." Gao Xi said with a smile.

"Desser." Xi Haijuan stuck out her tongue at Gao Xi, then turned around and went to the kitchen, Liu Peipei also followed, although it is not a woman's duty to cook, but she is idle at this time, and she has nothing to say to a few old men, it is better to go to the kitchen to help and chat.

After a while, the venture capital expert invited by Gao Kefeng also came, and Gao Xi saw that these were all people in their thirties and forties, not too old, just by looking at their manners and style, as well as the tone of speech, they knew that what Gao Kefeng said was true. These people should be highly educated, and they have done a lot of investment things, so they know the industry very well.

The old man seemed to be quite familiar with these venture capital experts, so he asked Gao Kefeng to pour tea, and then sat there and chatted together.

After talking about venture capital for a while, Gao Xi also benefited a lot, although he doesn't like to do this full-time, but sometimes the money is kept, if you use it to invest, then you can make a lot of money. Think of it as a game, a game for the rich, a game for the brave.

"Several of them have settled in the United States, just like this uncle, they are waiting to enjoy Qingfu now, right?" After chatting about venture capital, everyone began to talk about it again, because they knew that they were going to invite people, so the old man prepared a lot of meals at home, but he was not afraid that these people would stay for dinner.

"yes, they're settled in the U.S. now, too. The children either go to college or high school, and after that, they are afraid that they will be Americans through and through. When I go back in the future, that is, travel or visit relatives, it's the same as me. The old man answered the questions for several people.

Through chatting, Gao Xi also knew. These people are all from the southern part of China, an economically developed province, and they all immigrated after making a lot of money from investment. And then there is still investment in China, but it is not limited to China, including Southeast Asia and North America, and it can be said that it is still quite large.

"My son didn't embarrass me, he was admitted to Harvard University, and I let him study Harvard's MBA, and in the future, he will take over my class and continue to engage in this investment business. What you need in this line of work is vision and vision, and my son still has an advantage in this regard. "One of the people who is engaged in venture capital seems to be very proud, but it is normal, Harvard University, not to mention in the United States, even in the world, it is also a top-ranked university, and it is really not easy to get in.

After all, American universities demand not only grades, but also many strange admission conditions, anyway, Gao Xi didn't figure it out, after all, he didn't plan to study in the United States again, so he couldn't figure it out so clearly.

But the venture capitalist whose son went to Harvard told it very seriously and enthusiastically.

Only then did Gao Xi understand that entering Laomei University is indeed not only based on grades, but also on other sports, papers, social activities, etc., and even if you volunteer and do good deeds in society, it will become a favorable condition for you to enter the university.

He seems to have heard that there are people in China who are admitted to Harvard University or MIT just because they play games well, which is really enviable.

However, Harvard University is a private university, and of course the tuition fee is very terrible, and ordinary families in the United States cannot afford it at all, so if the children of ordinary families want to go to a university like Harvard or MIT, it is best to strive for a full scholarship, otherwise there is no hope.

"Speaking of which, although our Chinese college entrance examination has been criticized by countless people, it is really the fairest system, and it is also the most effective one among the many means for children from poor families to get ahead. Not in the United States, even if you do well in the exam, even if you get the top prize, you may not be admitted, and as far as I know, there are many people who have been rejected by Ivy League universities such as Harvard or MIT. ”

"If you don't look at the results, what are you looking at? Is it filial piety? Gossi asked with a smile.

In the Han Dynasty, I really didn't look at the results, there was a saying that filial piety and honesty were raised, this is the real quality selection, but it's hard to say whether it's good or not.

"The West Owner is really joking, but it's kind of like that. This American college admission depends on SAT scores and students' usual scores, once this line is crossed, the scores are not of much significance. That is to say, there is not much difference between the passing score and the high score, the key is something else, such as taking into account the student's race, social status, family education, economic situation, etc., the most hateful thing is this racial discrimination, we Chinese are the most vulnerable to be discriminated against by these universities, and it is really not easy for my child to be admitted to Harvard. ”

"In other words, excellent students go to second-rate universities, and ordinary students and poor students go to first-class universities, right?" Gossey asked.

"That's not right, American universities think more holistically." Although it is okay to complain about himself, once Gao Xi says that, he will be immediately opposed.

"By the way, speaking of this Harvard University, it seems that there is a Harvard University in China?" One asked, confused.

"Nope...... Oh, by the way, you don't mean Harbin Buddhist College, do you? Harvard for short! Gao Xi suddenly remembered that he mentioned this Harbin Buddhist College when he heard a friend in China talk nonsense a few days ago, saying that many people on the Internet ridiculed this name, but the person in charge of this Buddhist College is very good at talking, saying that this is a kind of good karma.

"Can that be the same? Harvard University is one of the top universities in the world, and many people want to drill into it even if they sharpen their heads, but they just can't get in. Said the investor whose son went to Harvard.

"Not to mention going to university, even from kindergarten, it will be a headache, if you are a new immigrant, it is really difficult to adapt to the education here without a year or two."

"A year or two? Some people can't get used to it for a lifetime. ”

Hearing the words of these people, Gao Xi wondered, so he asked, "What is the reason why it is so difficult to go to school?" ”

He is naturally very concerned about this matter, and now he is a Yankee, although his heart is still Chinese, but after all, in reality he is already an American, and his children will definitely want to study in the United States in the future, and it doesn't hurt to learn more about American education.

This time, Gao Kefeng opened his mouth: "It's like this, Brother Xi, I guess you probably know the situation in the United States, private education is more powerful, and public schools can be said to be rubbish in comparison." Immigrants want their children to go to private schools, because not only the quality of education is good, but also you can rest assured, but it is really too expensive, but public schools are easy to enter, even if you are an outright illegal immigrant, your children can go to school. ”

"It's okay to have no U.S. citizenship and a green card?"

"Well, that's fine. Moreover, the United States and China have a completely different point of view. In China, children are regarded as the children of their parents, which are private. And in the United States, no matter whose child it is, it belongs to the state, which is very strange, right, it is obviously a private society, but at this point it has become public ownership. Even if it is the child's parents, if you dare to treat the child badly, or make the child unhappy, you may be deprived of your right to be a parent. So, in the United States, when a child is educated, the whole family has to follow suit, and if you want to run to work and make money like in China, and throw the child to the old parents at home to take care of, it is simply not possible. The school will often contact parents, and even have interviews, that is, to always care about the child's growth. "Gao Kefeng and Liu Peipei also have a child, they are just seven years old this year, and they go to primary school near this farm, of course, it is a public primary school, and they can't afford to go to a private school, so they still know a lot about these situations.

Gao Xi nodded and said: "This is actually very good, the left-behind children in our country are a big problem, the parents of the children throw their children to work at home, and many children are either killed, or ruined, and some have taken the wrong path." I think the U.S. is really worth learning from China. ”

"That's the truth, but sometimes I think it's really tiring. It is not easy for Pepe and I to make a living just to make money, and we often have to take care of our children from work. I was fined a lot of money, and it was really troublesome. Gao Kefeng sighed and said.

Gao Xi was silent, left-behind children are indeed a big problem, but the child's parents also have to go out to work for the sake of the family's livelihood, if the country can formulate a policy, so that migrant children can also follow their parents to study in big cities, that is the solution to the fundamental problem, just simply complaining about their parents that can't be said, who doesn't want to be idle all day, the problem is no.
