contribute to society. Meanwhile, it does have a responsibility to give students the necessary abilities to survive in the real world and to contribute to society. In this sense, it is a means to an end. In short, it should be both: you enjoy the journey ( the means) but you want to arrive at the destination ( the end), too.

2. What factors influences your choice of university and the course you are doing?

There is a combination of factors I consider for the choice of university and for my course. If I have achieved a high score for the university entrance exam, I would like to go to a university which is well-known for its tradition, the quality of courses offered, the staff, the learning environment and the location. And I will do some research to find out why a particular course is good. But most importantly, I would like to choose something I really love to learn and have a passion for; whether this course is popular or not is not my first consideration.

3. If you had the chance to continue your studies abroad, what factors would influence your

choice of destination?

This would depend on what course I would take. I would say the quality of the course, the teaching staff, and how the university and staff care about their students are the key factors I would consider when choosing my destination university. I understand that in some Western countries, the most famous universities may not necessarily offer the best learning environment to students. I heard that some famous professors in some research-focused universities hardly give lectures and tutorials to students.

4. Why do young people protest more than old people?

I suppose young people have no fear. They have an ideology and strong energy and they believe they can change the world, just like that. On the other hand, I suppose young people are easier to be manipulated by others since their life experience is limited.

5. Do you think today’s young people in China are very different from the previous

generations?

I think in some ways they are, because many of them are the only child of the family. They have great pressure from their parents and grandparents to do well. They feel all the hopes of the family are on their shoulders. However, at the same time, some of them may be spoiled by the family, because their family tries to give them the best.
