Students and I
Summary
Quality education can enlighten students' minds and cultivate their potential. University provides a relaxed and pleasant learning environment where students meet by chance for pre-employment training to find the right job after graduation. This chapter presents examples of whole-person education: Tim-yan, Kay, Po-yan and Kiki. These students were like the orchids that released their fragrances without seeking fame. Tim-yan, who has some physical disabilities, studied applied sociology. In May 2010, a number of presidents of well-known world universities attended the Fourth Chinese Foreign University Presidents Forum in Nanjing. When they were asked about the gap between Chinese higher education and world-class universities, several replied that China was at least 20 to 30 years behind the US. Po-yan was not a student with excellent academic scores or a successful career. The 2018 scholarship established under Po-yan's name was awarded to Kiki for her academic performance.
