recently, there is a news that Canada may cancel the investment immigration project, and 46 thousand Chinese citizens are expected to be returned. Once the news came out, the word "immigration" became a topic again. Many people say that life abroad always wears aura and looks beautiful. Some people say that in fact, this is a besieged city where people outside want to go in, and the people inside want to come out.
there are many ways to enter the besieged city, besides investment and education. Some Jinan people in Shandong Province, who are passing through the besieged city, want to talk about their stories of going abroad and returning home.
Jinan went to Europe
after spending more than a year in England, Wang Jia finally returned home. Now she works in a media company and occasionally thinks of her time in England, but the mood associated with that memory is fading. For many foreign students like her, from the day they went abroad, they knew that they would return home again, and the land that was temporarily farewell to a period of time was bearing the nostalgia of their parents and their parents.
"going abroad" is a window
spring back to 2009. On the day of the postgraduate entrance examination, Wang Jia was not happy. The previous efforts did not give her a chance to resume examination at this time. In those days, Wang Jia was not in high spirits and did not return to the campus of the University Science Park in Changqing. One day, father pulled up Wang Jia, who was sleeping, gave her a publicity leaflet issued by the intermediary. From then on, he went abroad to take the postgraduate entrance examination and entered Wang Jia's agenda.
before that, she never thought that she would go abroad one day. After the college entrance examination, she wanted to go to Beijing to study in University, but her parents disagreed. At that time, the traffic between Beijing and Ji'nan was not so fast as it is today. My parents felt that the city, which was located in the north, was deeply cultural and prosperous, but it was far too far from Ji'nan, the place where they lived for generations. If only the daughter wants to go there to study, they are not at ease. Finally, Wang Jia, a native of Jinan, enrolled in a college in Sichuan.
later, Wang Jia graduated from a bachelor's degree. In order for the children to get better education, their parents eventually promised to leave Wang Jia to Beijing, and Wang Jia's mother was ready to retire to Beijing in advance. In order to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, Wang Jia gets up early and goes to bed late. He goes to the study room and the library to grab seats and study there. However, the final results are not satisfactory.
holding the leaflet, Wang Jia followed his father to the scene of a study abroad lecture hall. There, she met many other peers who were similar to her. For them, this lecture was held at a very high time. When a door closes to the future, the window of "going abroad" appears to beckon to them properly. After the
lecture session, Wang Jia immediately reported the language class and began his English study days. Her undergraduate major is not an English major, the usual English course can escape, even if you usually see the American opera or subtitles, it can be said that from the end of the Wang Jia college entrance examination, learning English is a very distant thing. It was not until after all that the English was picked up again, but the emphasis was on reading and writing. Listening and speaking were hardly involved.
Wang Jia went to the language class regularly and had a preliminary understanding of the foreign study and life through contact with foreign teachers, and then with the help of the intermediary staff, Wang Jia soon confirmed the date of going abroad. In the summer of 2009, most of the graduating students had joined the work, but Wang Jia still had a language class day, hoping to go abroad in the same year. Finally, because of the visa problem, Wang Jia did not smoothly open her study abroad life.
over the past few years, Wang Jia's life has not changed much. He continues to learn languages and travels to intermediary agencies. In the summer, or because of the visa problem, Wang Jia remained in the country and continued to prepare for another war in the coming year. Until July 2011, Wang Jia finally flew away to Britain in another time zone with his packed luggage.
for the sake of parents returning home
from the day of deciding to go abroad, Wang Jia knew that she would finally return here. Through a number of forums and other social networks, Wang Jia has learned that even if people who have been studying abroad for many years want to stay there, it is difficult to stay there, and the increasing number of returned returnees, the rapid devaluation of the returnees in the job market, is giving Wang Jia a signal that those who have gone abroad have become more and more popular over the years. The more they are, but more and more people are returning home. A year later, Wang Jia returned home with her master's degree in England.
actually, she graduated from school six months before Wang Jia returned home. For half a year, Wang Jia did not want to waste, dragging his own luggage, moving from a slightly remote school to London, renting a house and working around, looking for a formal job. In Britain, Wang Jia has seen more suitable recruitment, which comes from some high-end magazines and fast selling brands released in China. But Wang Jia still wants to find some jobs in the UK.
was not a pleasant time to work in London. She worked as a bell worker in a Chinese ornament shop. She thought that everyone was a compatriot and could take care of each other in a foreign country. But during that time, she found that "compatriots in the pits are compatriots." The same skin color and language, did not make Wang Jia feel warm and friendly, instead of "eating a lot of losses", even the minimum respect is very rare, and is still almost defaulted on the salary. Instead, those British customers politely moved Wang Jia. On one occasion, Wang Jiayi was careless and found small change. As a customer, the little English boy who bought things reminded her in time.
Wang Jia finally failed to find the right job. The visa expired and returned home at the end of 2012. Wang Jia would really want to stay in the UK if he was not forced to do so. Even though she has worked in China for over a year, she still wants to go to England again. However, considering reality, returning to China is inevitable. "First of all is the question of money." Wang Jia said she had gone to Britain to work, but her parents did not have visas. Even though they went there, they were faced with various medical insurance problems. "Is it a big problem for parents to adapt, too?" Wang Jia said. As an only child, she has to consider her parents' life.
taking care of their parents is also an important reason for Chen Jing Xue's return to China. After graduating from college, Chen made a deal with all the formalities to go to Germany. Then another man took a train to Beijing, then took a plane to Frankfurt, and then turned to Berlin. Before that, she applied for seven universities in Germany, and was accepted by Free University Berlin. After earning his degree there, he is now studying for a doctorate degree at Dresden University Technology. Although there are still several years away from graduation, Chen Jingxue has made up his mind to return home and has taken note of some German business offices in China.
"the EU country's visa system is very strict. Even if there is a nationality, parents can't follow you or live in the EU for a long time. They can only apply for three months' visas, and they can not be extended after three months. Moreover, parents are getting older and the procedures for visas are becoming more and more complicated. They can only be reunited for three months for a long time, which is very uneconomical. "A lot of only children have this problem abroad," Chen Jingxue said. "Overseas Chinese often discuss this topic on the Internet. Parents are home or stay here."
