I don't know how many people paid attention to the topic of "studying abroad can't restart life" some time ago, and there was also a topic some time ago, called "Can studying abroad change class", and many international students' replies were sad and funny.
For example, before studying abroad, I thought everyone was rich, but after studying abroad, I could only ask, "Are you also homeless?" ”：

As for studying abroad from gold-plated to film, from counterattack to experience, etc., even if Kang Shishi doesn't say it, everyone knows it in their hearts, but even so, in the face of the current situation that hundreds of thousands or even millions of investments may not be able to hear a sound, there are still many families who have sent their children abroad, because no matter how much it is depreciated, studying abroad is still a good ticket after all.
For ordinary people who can not afford to lose and hope to have as much return as possible after investing, Kang Shishi thinks that the most suitable way out for everyone is nothing more than studying in Hong Kong.
01 The three major conditions that trap ordinary people, parents, family, background and money
In the early years, when Hong Kong studying in the mainland was not so popular, most of its study places were contributed by Guangdong Province, before Kang Shishi also talked to friends in Guangdong, for them, Hong Kong University, Hong Kong Chinese, in Guangdong Province can be used as Qingbei, who children can read, that is, "other people's children".

And in this passage, "when Qingbei is used" is actually a bit implicit, super Qingbei is the choice that their parents and generations are more recognized, not that Qingbei is not good, but it is really too far away, for Cantonese people, whether it is study or work, it is a first-class event, if a good child wants to run out, relatives and friends, three aunts and six mothers-in-law must go into battle with full firepower to persuade.

This idea of not wanting children to run too far actually coexists in other families, including Kang Shishi's contact with students, there are also many overseas undergraduate graduates, working for a few years, theoretically the salary is not low, 9 to 4, no need to work overtime, it should be very comfortable, but the parents miss their children, so after a discussion, they came to Kang Shishi to consult Hong Kong master's application, and wanted to use this springboard to jump back to China to work, and the family was reunited.
Therefore, for many families, especially more traditional and ordinary families whose parents still hope that their children can be with them, children go to study in Hong Kong, no matter how close they are in the heart, they are all in the same country, and it is convenient to enter and meet each other.
In fact, this point is better understood, that is, the meaning of the background of the network, you really talk about money, talk about cost-effective Singapore is not bad, but the child is not familiar with the place and ran over, one to find a job when there are not many ways, and the second to return to China to develop overseas resources can play a limited role, even if you get a Singapore identity, it will not help the whole family much.
What about studying in Hong Kong, many Hong Kong school graduates will return to Hong Kong or the Greater Bay Area to work, look up and bow their heads to meet a bunch of seniors, and have a good relationship with teachers can also enter the teacher as a consultant to work in the enterprise, even if it is planned to enter a state-owned enterprise or a central enterprise, the public examination is full, it is crowded with Hong Kong school students, you look at me familiar with me, and you see that I am no stranger.
For example, among state-owned enterprises, central enterprises, and civil servants, Hong Kong students are well-known for their combat effectiveness
Moreover, after graduating from Hong Kong and staying in Hong Kong to work, once you get permanent residence in Hong Kong, your parents can either take a family visit visa to visit your children at any time, or meet the conditions to get a one-way permit to get a Hong Kong ID card together, whether it is welfare or medical insurance, it is according to the standards of Hong Kong people, and even your children can enjoy the advantages of the college entrance examination brought by Hong Kong household registration, whether you plan to stay in Hong Kong or return to the mainland in the future, it is a win-win option.
The last money, needless to say too much, compared with studying in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, Hong Kong schools must be cheaper, and for more people, spending two or three hundred thousand, they not only buy a Hong Kong master's degree, but also a Hong Kong identity and a good employment salary that may be won behind it, it is because of the superposition of various factors that Hong Kong studying in Hong Kong is so evergreen.
02 Let's talk about the practical ones, which are related to the students' majors and employment
People who know more about Hong Kong culture should have heard a song called "Under the Lion Rock", which mentions the spirit of Hong Kong's Lion Rock, and there is such a sentence in the lyrics:
There are two cities in China that have turned from small fishing villages to megacities, Hong Kong and Shenzhen. The development of Hong Kong is not the credit of the British, but the spirit of Hong Kong under the Lion Rock. "Hard work, hard work. Pioneering and enterprising, flexible and adaptable, and self-improving" - NetEase Cloud User: High-speed Yoyo

It is this spirit of hard work, pioneering spirit, and flexibility that has led Hong Kong universities to climb in the world rankings, and Hong Kong and Hong Kong City have also jumped from 100 to 6 and 70 ranks.
Where is the spirit embodied? There are many specific places that can be seen, for example, the majors of studying in Hong Kong are changing very quickly, and there will be high frequency of similar "new majors launched by Hong Kong schools" and "new majors updated by Hong Kong schools" during the application season every year.
In recent years, the newly opened Master of Arts in Generative Artificial Intelligence and Arts, Intelligent Manufacturing, Smart Wearable Technology, Master of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Hong Kong City, Master of Arts in Digital Humanities and Culture of Hong Kong Education, and the newly established interdisciplinary school of HKUST, covering artificial intelligence, digital media and creative arts, etc., whether it is based on the imminent era of artificial intelligence, or vigorously promoting entrepreneurship in various places, it can be said that these majors are almost all set up next to the trend of the times.

Don't other schools know that this is the outlet, yes, but if you want to do this, you still need confidence and strength.
The confidence of Hong Kong schools comes from the close cooperation with enterprises, such as H· ART student Z, when he studied intelligent system design in Hong Kong, the completion was carried out in the form of school-enterprise cooperation, with partners such as Xiaopeng, GAC, Huawei and some local enterprises in Hong Kong, students can go to the company to do projects, and the school will also give some financial support.
Student Z went to Xiaopeng Huitian to complete the design
The digital twins, service design, user interface design, system data flow aggregation and other contents involved behind the scenes, without school resources, want to learn, want to contact, it is really difficult. It can be said that when other schools are still struggling with the job market and have not yet found a matching position, and can only continue to teach traditional majors, Hong Kong schools directly communicate with the internal enterprises of the enterprise.
It is this spirit of being uneasy about stability and continuous improvement, in this unpredictable and rapidly changing employment situation, that has given students greater confidence and the ability to meet challenges, and for an ordinary person, the international position of the Hong Kong University can open their horizons and see many international development opportunities.
03 Finally, there is the concept
This concept involves two perspectives, one is the concept of the recognition of academic qualifications by the outside world; The other is that international students have personally experienced the changes in teaching concepts in different cultural backgrounds.
Needless to say, the recognition of Hong Kong schools is rarely questioned for the same one-year system, and this kind of recognition and vision of the general public is the invisible hand of the ordinary group to study abroad.
For example, if the student's task is to design a tractor, they need to go to the countryside in groups to pick up the tractor to see what it does, what the principle is, and what can be optimized.
Kang Shishi's colleague Mr. Kraken was raised to learn to drive a tractor if he wanted to design tractor products
Students from this kind of background, after returning to China, adapt to the environment of the "boring" workstation of the designer in China, and look left and right at either the workstation or the person, they will feel aggrieved.
Another example is to go to the UK to study, learn a lot of sustainable design ideas, have humanities, society, and niche groups in my heart, but after returning to China, I find that all I have to do is to take money from the user's pocket, and whoever pays for it will design for whom, and the imbalance between it and personal design ideals will also take a long time to recover.
From this point of view, Hong Kong and the mainland are very close, many of the two business thinking in the years of mutual learning, towards a similar situation, even overtime culture and this is the same thing, which is why Hong Kong school graduates can return to China to quickly meet the pace of domestic work, after all, "behind the faster pace of Hong Kong", in fact, implies "Hong Kong more volume".

Therefore, among some of the students that Kang Shishi came into contact with, taking fashion design as an example, the group of students who went to Italy to study and stayed were more or less called independent artists or buyers and other personal professions, but those who went to Hong Kong to study and graduate finally got into the company and became a member of the labor army.
To put it bluntly, ordinary people never want much, they don't have much ambition to sprint to Harvard Oxbridge Ivy League, nor do they want to become internationally famous artists or designers, let alone leave their parents and families and go away alone.
They don't want to study abroad to change their class, and they don't need much feedback, all they want is a platform for higher academic qualifications and more resources, find a job with better pay and higher salary, be able to learn something, use their own ability to work hard, and then provide a better life for their families, that's all.

And these are exactly what Hong Kong schools can give.
