In ancient times in China, education was the only way out of poverty ¿ in recent times it has been the best way. China¿s economic boom and talk of the merits of
hard work have created an expectation that to study is to escape poverty. But these days China¿s higher education system only leads to jobs for a few,
educating a new generation to unemployment and despair.
