In China, one child is the rule. Preferably a male child, thank you very much. When that child arrives he is the crown jewel of the Chinese family, potentially a label out of poverty and safety for the parents in old age. Therefore, an often dirt poor family will scrape and slave for years to make sure that child has a good education and a opportunity to get ahead in Chinese society.
Meticulous records of a student's grades are kept on paper. Students who do well and excel in their classes are rightly proud of their achievements. As well, Chinese society recognizes those good efforts and rewards star students with jobs in government, sciences, manufactures and connected fields. The article of ones' grades are the label to a best life. That is unless that precious piece of paper disappears from the vaults of the Chinese educational bureaucracy.

And that's unmistakably what is happening now. Pupil records for the very best and brightest seem to be magically disappearing from files and storage areas at an alarming clip. The presumption is that they're being resold on the black shop for big bucks. The loss of these records is a devastating blow to families who have invested everything they have in their children. As a rule, Chinese society holds in high regard those with advanced education or vast worldly knowledge. I'm therefore at a loss to understand why authorities apparently stand idly by as the lives of challenging and hard working students are destroyed for profit.
When I look colse to at how cavalier many of our students are about school I wonder if any of them would trade places with their Chinese counterparts?
