:offtopic: Thanks VK ..... many SG Kids there ,
medium of instruction - Chinese only ??
I heard Amercian do apply to be educated in Beida....
Quite a Global mix of United Nation students in these Top 4 ......
probably more competitive than SG uni or sama sama....

And then who is going to do the housework once he gets the coveted apartment?

His parents lor..

[concern2]

This reminds me of an incident of a Chinese guy who was asked by his mom to return home from Japan cos she couldn’t afford to pay his fees anymore and upon his arrival at the airport in China, stabbed her to death.

Is the state not paying for his education since he is a child prodigy? :?

even if they are paying for his school fees, I don't think they will sponsor
an apartment for him

The price of competition and upward mobility make people less humane
and very self centred to the hilt :gloomy:

Seems like the parent must provide everything for their child to excel
in this day and age ?? towards to the extreme at least it seem in China?

SG has a slightly different version of extreme ? :skeptical:
