With the development of globalization, more and more Chinese students choose to study abroad to pursue broader academic and career development opportunities, but some international students choose to stay abroad to work or settle down after completing their studies, rather than returning to their home country. This phenomenon has led to thinking about the significance of international students not returning to their home countries.
Since the 80s, the phenomenon of college students flocking abroad has begun to rise, which has triggered a puzzling "chain of discrimination" in which you feel unable to hold your head up in front of your classmates if you don't study abroad.
What's even more surprising is that some people have even invested in making movies with the theme of college students studying abroad, which are full of scenes of enthusiastic learning Xi English and the excitement of going abroad, which constantly stimulates more college students to regard studying abroad as an honor.
Study abroad
This strange phenomenon of "chain of discrimination" is gradually forming among college students.
For those students who have not studied abroad, they often feel that they are in a disadvantaged position, and in communication with classmates, they may feel inferior and marginalized, and this mindset not only affects their self-confidence, but can also lead to their academic and social performance being affected.
However, the formation of this "chain of discrimination" is not entirely unreasonable, after all, for many college students, studying abroad is a way to pursue a better education and broader development opportunities. By studying abroad, they can Xi access to richer academic resources and an international educational background, which has a positive impact on their personal growth and career development, so many college students regard studying abroad as a symbol of honor and success.
However, we should also be aware that studying abroad is not the only path to success.

In China, there are also many excellent universities and educational institutions, which provide high-quality education and broad space for development. Many domestic college students can also achieve excellent grades and achievements through Xi hard study and practice, so we should abandon the concept of "chain of discrimination" and respect everyone's choice and development path.
In fact, if someone really raises children who do not want to go abroad, their minds are already foreigners, and their children gradually adapt to foreign cultures, values and lifestyles in the process of living abroad, and everything they do is to integrate into foreign societies and get better development opportunities.
However, for some families, raising such a child may not be something to be commendable.
Xiang Ligang believes that if a family raises such a child, takes pride in going abroad, but later abandons its nationality, hardly returns and does not contact his family, then such a parenting method is not commendable.
He even thinks that this situation is not as good as getting a dog.
Xiang Ligang's point of view
Because raising a child who has no desire to go abroad requires a huge financial and energy cost: the cost of studying abroad is usually higher, and living abroad also requires a certain amount of financial support, and parents also need to spend a lot of time and energy to care for and support their child's life in a foreign country. However, when a child chooses to abandon his or her nationality and has little contact with his family, these efforts seem meaningless.
Parents may feel abandoned and betrayed because they have given so much but the child is not returning their love and care, and this psychological damage can have a negative long-term impact on family relationships.
After all, when children have adopted different cultures and values abroad, they may have disagreements and conflicts with their families, which can lead to tension and breakdown in family relationships and even affect the harmony and stability of the family.
For those who choose to go abroad and not return, their parents also face a hateful and sad situation: because it is hateful that they, as Chinese, are proud of raising their children to be foreigners, and are unwilling to let them return to China for development. This behavior makes people feel confused and angry because they seem to lack a sense of identity and belonging to their country and culture.

Secondly, the sad thing is that when these parents are old, and their surplus value is squeezed out by children abroad, most of them end up living alone at home, and end up with no one around them. This is because their children abroad often do not come back to provide for them in their old age, but choose to stay abroad and enjoy their lives. This kind of indifference and ruthless behavior makes these parents feel extremely disappointed and hopeless.
This happens, not only because of the differences in personal choices and values, but also reflects the existence of some social problems: on the one hand, some people may think that living abroad can lead to better education and job opportunities, as well as a broader space for development, so they choose to stay abroad. On the other hand, some people may be skeptical about the social environment and development prospects at home, believing that life abroad is more free and comfortable.
However, this choice also comes with a series of negative consequences.

First of all, these parents lose the companionship and support of their family in their later years, and are unable to enjoy the care and love of their children, they may feel lonely and helpless, and they are under great psychological pressure. Secondly, these parents' social relationships and social networks in the country will also be affected, and they may feel more and more distant from the people around them, losing social support and help.
Therefore, we should reflect on the reasons behind this phenomenon and look for solutions. On the one hand, we need to strengthen the education and guidance of young people, and cultivate their sense of responsibility and belonging to the country and society. At the same time, we also need to improve the social environment and development prospects in the country, provide more opportunities and benefits, and attract young people to return to China for development. Only in this way can more young people realize the importance of returning to their home countries and be willing to contribute to the country and society.
Many netizens agree with Xiang Ligang's views, they believe that it is important to cultivate children's talents, but it is more important to cultivate their moral character and family concepts.
In fact, some netizens have also shared their own personal experiences to support this view.
The views of netizens
A netizen told a very thought-provoking story around him: this netizen used to live in an apartment building, and the old lady upstairs had two sons, one son was studying in the United States, and the other was working in Belgium. However, when the old lady had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and needed to be rushed to the hospital for rescue, neither of her two sons came back to take a look, which made netizens feel very sad and disappointed.
The story sparked a lot of discussion.
Some people think: it is understandable for children to pursue their dreams abroad, but they should always keep in mind the importance of family. No matter where you are, your family is always the most important thing to rely on and support. If children focus only on their own careers and achievements, and neglect their responsibilities and love for their families, then the success they are pursuing will become meaningless.
In addition, the story also provokes reflections on education.
In the process of cultivating children, parents should not only pay attention to academic performance, but also pay more attention to cultivating children's moral character and values.
Therefore, netizens call on parents to pay attention to family education, not only to pay attention to their children's learning Xi, but also to pay attention to cultivating their family concept and sense of responsibility. Only in this way can children find true happiness and success as they grow up.

Moreover, some netizens even said directly: So far, I have only heard Sun Weidong say "I want to return to China", and I have not heard him say "I'm sorry".
This remark sparked widespread discussion and controversy.
Regarding the opinions of these netizens, some people believe that Sun Weidong did not express his apologies for his past behavior, which may make people doubt his sincerity. After all, as a public figure, his actions and remarks will be widely watched and judged. If he does not apologize for his wrongdoing, it may be perceived as a lack of responsibility and remorse.
However, there are also those who disagree.
They believe that whether Sun Weidong apologizes is not the only criterion for judging whether he really wants to return to China. People should pay more attention to his actions and performance, rather than just verbally apologizing, after all, a person's inner thoughts and true intentions often need to be proven through actual actions.
