Chapter 1,460 The Great Wave of the Times(2/2)

If not for anything else, it’s just because there are too many international students.

There were so many that there was a long queue in front of the airport baggage check-in window.

In the middle of the long queues are piles of suitcases for travel.

This kind of scene was a lively scene that Ning Weimin had never seen before when he took a plane from the Capital Airport in his memory. It felt a bit like the Spring Festival Transport in the 1990s.

Especially many of these self-funded students were flying for the first time in their lives, so it was very hectic.

Some people got in line, but forgot to pay the consignment fee, and were scurrying back and forth.

Some luggage is overweight, but they have no money to pay for it, so they bargain like they are asking grandpa to sue grandma, hoping that the shipper will be merciful.

Some completed the shipping procedures, but gave the extra RMB to their relatives and friends waiting outside the security gate.

Of course, every passenger who wants to take an international flight has passed the "security check" and is equivalent to leaving the country.

Although you are only a few meters away from your relatives and friends, you cannot go in or out.

Even when handing over RMB, there are customs officers supervising.

So what complements each other is also the strong contrast between them.

Those self-funded international students usually stand in the safe gate with excitement, no tears, no sadness of farewell, full of confidence and pride.

A person who waves goodbye to his relatives and friends in a "victory escape" gesture.

But outside the security gate, the parents, wives and children of these people were crying, giving them thousands of instructions and warnings, fearing that a farewell would be a scene of eternal farewell.

One self-funded student shouted nonchalantly, "Why are you crying? Go back, I'm not going to jump in line to settle down?"

One said disapprovingly, "If I had known you would cry, I wouldn't have let you come."

Another one said with a smile, "Goodbye, wait for my good news."

While they were smiling and looking cheerful, their relatives responded with sobs.

Seeing this situation, Ning Weimin felt an inexplicable feeling of anxiety.

There is no need to doubt anything anymore, the real "going abroad craze" has arrived.

The biggest positive significance of the emergence of these self-financing students is that for Chinese people, going abroad is no longer a privilege enjoyed by the social elite, and they no longer have to look for overseas connections in order to go abroad.

However, it also brings some side effects.

Such as brain drain, aggravation of cultural inferiority complex, and the further spread of the domestic trend of worshiping foreigners.

Ning Weimin looked at those who were self-financing students, and even couldn't help but think of Xiao Tao's girlfriend and An Wen, an actress from the "Dream of Red Mansions" crew, who asked him to handle their requests to go abroad during the Spring Festival.

The colorful sea of ​​lights in developed countries shocks every Chinese person.

Nowadays, people in China probably regard going abroad as the starting point of all luck. They think that going abroad will definitely make a fortune, they will definitely become famous, and they will definitely live a better life than they do at home...

But unfortunately, they misjudged the superiority of developed countries.

At least I have forgotten that all the prosperity outside often does not belong to Chinese people who have just arrived in a foreign land, and a happy life will not fall from the sky.

Although most of these international students who choose to go to foreign lands are well-educated and are regarded as the pride of heaven at home, after going abroad, the first thing they have to face is the anxiety of struggling to survive.

These people go abroad with such beautiful hopes. What kind of blows will they have to endure in the future before they can look at each other objectively?

How many people will refresh their knowledge outside and give up their original dreams?

From then on, he became a philistine, had low self-esteem, was short-sighted, and even gave up his faith and changed his nationality?

He doesn't know.

How many of these people will stick to their dreams, return home after completing their studies, and serve the motherland?

Or should you stay and work abroad after completing your studies, find your own personal value in a foreign country, and choose to contribute your knowledge and talents to other countries?

He doesn't know either.

How many people even feel culturally lost when they return to a foreign land and regret their original choice to go abroad?

Or have you embarked on the path of betraying the motherland and committing crimes?

He doesn't know either.

What he knows is that the country has really opened its doors to ordinary people to an increasing extent.

The tide of the times is coming, which is irresistible and irreversible.

And this is also a process of great waves and waves.

Regardless of those who stay, those who go out, those who come back, or those who don’t come back, in the end the heroes will be wiped out by the waves, and they will have to bear the corresponding consequences for their own choices...

No one can help them except themselves...

Just like the lines in the 1990s TV series "Beijing People in New York" that reflected the lives of people studying abroad,

If you love him, send him to New York, because that is heaven.
