The 14-year-old boy Wang yinan who is regarded as a prodigy in Lundon
is preparing to take a place at Oxford university next month.When he just
arrived London, he had diffculties in communication. But as he had a good
score in maths, physics and chemistry, he was offered a place in Corpus Christi
to study math and scientist. Yinan recently scored 98 per cent in an Open
University maths degree which he took "for fun". But according to his teacher
in his native city BEIJIN, the boy was not the unique student in his school .
’98 percent is normal, and some of the student even get 100 percert ,’he
said. As we know, Many Chinese students have to student nearly 14 hours
a day to study. And most of the study time is spent on science rather than
maths and sports. China so far does not have an effective welfare system and
children are expected to provide for their parents and other family members as
they reach adulthood - a burden that has increased under the one-child policy.
Only three per cent of secondary school pupils can expect to win university places,
so exam results have a dramatic place in Chinese students lives.
