An open letter to Parents of Chinese Students in the United States
Dear parents,
My kid has been studying in the United States for three years at Boston University. Ever since she went there, I’ve been hearing from her all the bad things that happened to Chinese students in high schools and universities of America, which haunts me endlessly. I feel fidgety, a lot. So I’m writing to make you aware of the situation, since you also have children abroad or soon-to-be abroad. This way, we can do something to protect our darlings. (Note: Parents with toddlers wearing T-shirts with Harvard Class of 2034 across the chest, this applies to you, too.)
China is by far the largest source of international students coming to the United States (source: OPEN DOORS 2014/INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION).
