      Mawar:

      Spoken like an immature child.


      This boy spent his entire childhood pursuing academic excellence, and likely away from his parents. He only uses some parts of his brain in the paper chase, the other parts of him have been neglected. Still lots of growing up to do. Please excuse his childish remark.

      Maybe the parents used the carrot and stick approach. Ah Boy ah, you pass this exam, we get you candy. You pass the other exam, we get you nice shoes. Finally Ah Boy decided that he wanted his own castle. What's wrong with that? Conditioned since birth.

      well said and funny too :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

      what good is a PHD then if we only breed this kind of children.....
      without empathy, gratitude and conscience......

      that is why PhD = Permanent head Damaged

              where is Fudan and Jiaotong....[/quote]Beijing is not good unless it is Beida -- but then it is only for humanities

              Tsinghua is best (most famous) for math / science / engrg

              Fudan & Jiaotong are in Shanghai. Fudan well known for medicine and Jiaotong well known for engrg

              Beida / Tsinghua / Fudan / Jiaotong are sometime known as the Big 4 in China but there are others quite good too
