I don't know if you remember this photo:
Last year, Huawei's little princess Yao Anna PO this picture, self-styled as the "Creation Camp Nanjing Detachment", revealed the intention of debut, and as a "name ghost talent" Hong Kong media naturally not willing to be lonely, directly sealed the name of "100 billion women's group".
In addition to the little princess Yao Anna, there are also He Chaoxin, the late gambling king's favorite young daughter, and the low-key Nanjing Bai Fumei Yuan Jiu'er.
The repetition of the old story is not because the three really debuted together, but some time ago, the media reported that He Chaoxin officially graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and obtained a double bachelor's degree in management and architecture. Not only that, she also seamlessly entered Tsinghua University for further study.
Looking at it, everyone in the photo is a bully of the world's top universities.
Anna Yao graduated from Harvard University in Computer Science and Statistics.
Yuan Jiu'er university studied at Wellesley College, one of the world's top girls' schools. Song Meiling and Hillary Clinton are her alumni.
Don't rush to blow up the rich people's emphasis on family education, children are excellent and promising, even if the top rich families can invest in the education of their children regardless of cost, it is difficult to ensure that everyone has the life of a bully.
In Yao Anna's Baidu Encyclopedia, it is written that "Yao Anna was admitted to Harvard University in advance with a full score in the ACT (American College Entrance Examination)." ”
When he debuted last year, he also made a general draft flying around, trying to create a "xueba" personality, but afterwards he was pulled out of his personal profile, a short two-line resume, nothing more than an old-fashioned ballet and public welfare organization.
The high-level performances that I have participated in many times do not even have a specific name or award, and the public welfare website does not list the actual data, and some people even say: "Delete these two sentences and replace them with 'My father is Ren Zhengfei', the effect is actually the same." ”
Of course, another Bai Fumei in the photo, He Chaoxin, has not been pulled out of the truth behind the scenes of the MIT admission.
He Chaoxin's mother, The Fourth Tai Liang Anqi, has donated more than $3 million to MIT six times since 2016, and just in 2017, He Chaoxin entered MIT, and for a time, two Massachusetts students appeared in the fourth room of the gambling king became a good story. Nowadays, it seems that the fourth wife can be said to have contributed a lot behind the scenes.
According to He Youjun's description, the gambling king himself attaches great importance to the education of his children, he once said that his father has always hoped that someone in the family can enter the world's famous school through his own ability, but unfortunately he has not been able to do so, and also satirizes that some of the children of the same generation have very poor grades, and the academic qualifications are directly bought.
This passage was issued, eating melon netizens began to actively look for who the gambling king spent money to buy Oxford, at first the crowd pointed to his sister He Chaoying, but afterwards found that He Chaoying graduated from the University of Hong Kong, and the two were born of the same four-room Liang Anqi, it should not be so, and then He Youjun sent a message to clarify: "Not He Chaoying, she has good grades." ”
Then everyone speculated whether this was He Chaolian who connotated the three rooms. Soon everyone found that He Chaolian and He Youjun had already taken each other off.
However, from this sentence, it can also be known that He Youjun's previous brothers and sisters have not been admitted to world-renowned universities with their own skills, but let's look at the graduation colleges of the gambling king's family:
Chaoqiong He: Santa Clara University
He Youlong: Napier University, Edinburgh, Scotland
He Chaolian: Royal Holloway College, University of London, UK
He Youguang: University of London, UK
He Chaoxiong: Boston University, USA
He Chaofeng: University of Toronto, Canada

How much of it is true or false is still unknown
But if you really want to talk about it, who is the richest person in Hong Kong who is most willing to donate money to the world-renowned universities, it is absolutely necessary to "Li Bancheng".
According to a report by the U.S. Department of Education, between 2012 and 2018, Hong Kong's richest people donated a total of $184 million to American universities, or almost 1.25 billion yuan. MIT, Yale, and Harvard are all the most donated universities for Hong Kong's richest people, and they are also the universities with the most children of Hong Kong's rich.
Li Ka-shing donated $22 million to the University of California, Berkeley, and later donated $37 million to Stanford University.
So guess where the two brothers of the Li family went to college?
Li Zeju and Li Zekai both studied at Stanford. Li Zeju successfully graduated from Stanford University in civil engineering, while Li Zekai was halfway through his studies and did not get a diploma.
Although Li Zekai did not get a diploma, in some pages and press releases of PCCW, it is still written that Li Zekai "graduated" from Stanford University, which was dug up by the Hong Kong media in 2001, triggering the "Li Zekai Resume Gate Incident" at that time.
Even the father, Li Ka-shing, came forward to clarify: "My son did not speak big." ”
The real school bullies in Hong Kong's rich circles
The circle is so big, it is naturally wrong to kill everyone with a stick, after all, the children of the rich have been able to obtain the best quality educational resources before going to college, and there are always some true scholars who have been admitted to well-known universities by their own strength.
In the past two years, the hottest "rich second generation student bully" has belonged to He Youjun, since participating in the variety show "The Strongest Brain" a few years ago, various media have been holding the title of "the youngest financial master in the history of MIT".
However, the academic qualifications of others are really likely to be taken by themselves, He Youjun has been good at mathematics since childhood, has been invited to participate in the "World Mathematics Competition" many times, and has won the championship of the Hong Kong Mathematics Competition for two consecutive years!
In March 2011, he won the All England Mathematics Olympiad test with a 109/120 victory to represent the school in the more powerful Mclaurens Mathematics Competition.
Even at MIT, his test scores were almost perfect.
What's more, in the strongest brain, the program group from all over the college entrance examination, high IQ club, Peking University Tsinghua... 100 geniuses were selected, and He Youjun won the first place every time in the competition against these geniuses.
In addition, when it comes to the second generation of Hong Kong's academic bully, it is natural to mention the third generation of the Fok Ying Tung family, Huo Qigang.
Like many children of wealthy families in Hong Kong, Huo Qigang was sent to the United Kingdom by his family to study at the age of 12, and studied at Winchester College, one of the nine major public schools in the United Kingdom.
The really powerful thing is that Huo Qigang was promoted to Pembroke College in Oxford University with a good result of all-A, and that year, this college only recruited 100 people in the world.
Yangcheng Evening News once interviewed Fok Yingdong and asked whether he had used his family background to go to university that year, and Fok Yingdong denied: "Of course not!" If that would ruin more than 600 years of Oxford's brand! I worked very hard to get in, and my classmates faced the same challenges as me. ”
Not only that, after graduation, Huo Qigang worked as an analyst at Goldman Sachs and Salomon, and in 2002, Huo Qigang returned to Hong Kong to start a business with friends and start a business consulting company. Subsequently, Huo Qigang began to work in the family company and became the vice chairman of the Fok Ying Tung Group.
Whether it is the ability to learn or work, it is the first among the family successors in Hong Kong.
The hearts of billionaires and the world's top schools are tacit
The rich rely on their "money ability" to let their children get the title of the world's famous school is not a new thing, and even the word "unspoken rules" is not qualified.
According to a survey by USnews, 50% of Harvard's new students in 2019 came from wealthy families, and the children of these families highlighted a simple and direct way to enter top schools - throwing money.
In fact, there have long been many tacit and tacit cooperation between famous schools and rich people.
First, a huge donation can raise the ranking from Z to A
In his book The Price of Admission, Daniel King reveals the impact of huge donations on the schools they apply to. Harvard's low acceptance rate is obvious to all, with only 10% of applications accepted, and the final acceptance rate is less than 5% when considering SAT scores.
But for students whose parents spent $1 million on Harvard's Resources Committee, the acceptance rate is not the same, and the acceptance rate of these lucky ones is more than 50%. They are classified as "developmental admissions" and, although their academic performance and test scores are poor, their families have the strength to give generous donations to the school, so they can easily enter Dream School. Clinton's vice president, Albert Gore, spent $5.3 million to send all four of his children to Harvard.
To ensure high-quality education, elite schools must build high-quality libraries, advanced laboratories, and recruit talents, and they always need to spend nearly astronomical amounts of money. However, most of the famous schools in the United States are private schools, and there are few government financial allocations, mainly relying on alumni donations to maintain their operations. So, giving some preferential treatment to large donors is an unwritten rule for almost all American colleges and universities.
2. Sports special enrollment from high society
The current American elite schools were originally established to ensure that the children of colonial aristocrats could receive elite education. Initially, the school only recruited the descendants of the top colonists, but with the popularization of social movements and education, hard-working commoners also had the opportunity to enter the former aristocratic schools for education.
But in order to reserve a privileged area for the children of the powerful, the top universities began to set limits in some niche areas of education, such as equestrianism, sailing, cello, and so on. Students from ordinary families often do not have enough time and money to cultivate such specialties, so sports and art have become the back door for the children of the rich to enter top universities.
3. Inherit admission privileges
Top universities have a special policy: Legacy Admit. Refers to the priority admission of direct family members are alumni applicants, these admitted alumni children are called legaccy. American universities never hide the existence of inheritance admissions, and there are clear instructions on the school's official website and school magazines: take care of nepotism.
The rich, with their intricate interpersonal relationships and letters of recommendation from some influential and well-known alumni, are able to gain a great advantage in admission. William Bowen, former president of Princeton University, once said, "Regardless of their SAT scores, their children are two to four times more likely to be admitted than other regular applicants." ”
Middle-class parents are still smashing elite secondary schools, taking honors courses, preparing for university knowledge in advance for their children; signing up to learn equestrianism and practicing golf; volunteering in Africa, contacting the government or practicing in large enterprises, just to make their children look more qualified than those who score high, the real top families have helped their children get admission quotas.
