In the era of globalization, people's cross-border exchanges are becoming more and more frequent, and studying abroad has become a way for many young people to pursue their dreams, but sometimes such a way of studying abroad will make people see some puzzling phenomena. Case in point: Yang Shuping once called herself a "sweet woman in the air", but her attacks on China caused public outrage and eventually fell into a reversal of fate.

Yang Shuping was born in a family of intellectuals with superior family conditions, and with her own efforts and excellent performance, she got the opportunity to study abroad at public expense and went to the University of Maryland in the United States for further study. Studying abroad provided her with the opportunity to be exposed to diverse cultures, and it was here that the trajectory of her life took a turn.
In Yang Shuping's graduation speech, her negative comments about China caused anger and dissatisfaction among Chinese students. She claims that in China you need to wear a five-layer mask to not get sick, while the air in the United States is sweet and free. Such remarks were considered slander and betrayal of China, and caused widespread controversy.
Angry international students spread the video of her speech to domestic social media, sparking a wider discussion and criticism. Yang Shuping's social platform has also become the target of condemnation by netizens, and she has been accused of being an ungrateful traitor. In the face of pressure and accusations, Yang Shuping posted an apology blog post in an attempt to quell public anger.
But she was not forgiven, and people thought that she was only making a gesture out of personal interest, and that she still harbored admiration for the United States and dislike for China in her heart. Soon after, she managed to get a U.S. green card, which seemed to further deepen her attacks and insults against China.
Her frequent insults and smears against Chinese on social media have further deepened people's frustration and anger at her. Her reversal of fortune has become a thought-provoking lesson, triggering a reflection on the values and patriotism of international students.
It also reminds us that international students should maintain respect and gratitude for their own country, and at the same time, keep an open mind and accept and respect the existence of different cultures. The study abroad experience should be an opportunity to broaden one's horizons, not to belittle or betray one's country. In the era of globalization, transnational exchange and cultural integration are inevitable trends.
But we should also be wary of the negative impact of individual cases. As an international student, you should stick to your own values and sense of mission, actively spread friendship and understanding, and promote international harmony and cooperation. It is only through mutual respect and tolerance that a more harmonious and pluralistic world can be built.
