Why are South Koreans flocking to China?Is it just a Korean girl who wants to marry a Chinese?This is not the case. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, Koreans rank first among foreigners who have settled in China. According to Wikipedia, about 34Twenty-five percent of Koreans settle in Chinese mainland, not including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. This phenomenon is surprising, after all, South Korea is a developed country, how could it choose China, a developing country, as their destination?
In fact, I have met some Koreans who have come to study in China and have been able to hear their reasons for staying in China. They said that South KoreanThe younger generationFacing huge employment pressure. South Korea's economy is monopolized by several chaebols, and these chaebols are also constrainedSocialinnovation. For those who are aspiringStart a businessof young people, South Korea really doesn't have many opportunities. They found that China, although difficult to find a job, was still relatively easy, and ChinaSocialIt doesn't value academic qualifications as much as it does in Korea. In China, it is not only the top students of Tsinghua University and Peking University who have development opportunities, but also young people who have choicesStart a businessopportunities. This is very attractive for young people who are eager to achieve their personal dreams.
Another reason is South Korea's military service system. Military service is a proud thing to do in China, and many young people are very enthusiastic about signing upJoin the army。But the difference is that in South Korea, where men are required to serve in the military, the barracks culture in South Korea is chilling. In the Korean barracks, the cultural norms of seniors and juniors are followed, and recruits must unconditionally obey the orders of their seniors, even including arbitrary beatings, verbal abuse, and bullying. Even there are star trainees, who experience an undignified stage during their military service. In order to escape this military service system, some South Koreans studying abroad choose to work in other countries or change their nationality. According to 2016 statistics, the number of South Koreans who renounced their citizenship to evade military service reached a new high, and most of them obtained U.S. citizenship because of the relative difficulty of obtaining Chinese citizenship.
In addition, Korean girls really want to stay in China because they want to find a Chinese husband. Chinese boys are very popular in South Korea, they are happy to take the initiative to take care of household chores, and they also take the initiative to treat guests when they go on dates. These are unimaginable in South Korea. Chinese husbandYu Xiaoguang(K-pop drama ".Descendants of the Sunhas become the "public enemy" of all Korean men. The reason why Korean girls are willing to stay in China is because of the greater influence on Chinese culture and their appearance is not much different from that of Chinese, and on the other hand, because South Korea and China are relatively similar in the Confucian cultural circle, customs and habits, so it is relatively easy for Koreans who have settled in China for a long time to adapt.
In general, there are legitimate reasons why South Koreans are flocking to China. Whether it's because of the lack of employment opportunities, the oppressive military service system, or the pursuit of freedomStart a businessThe desire of South KoreaThe younger generationThey all have certain expectations and dependence on China. At the same time, ChinaSocialIt is relatively open to international students and foreigners, and the employment is more extensiveStart a businessThe space, as well as the similarity to Korean culture, have prompted Koreans to choose China as their new home. After all, China has a unique charm and development potential that cannot be ignored.
Here, I would also like to quote a Korean friend as a summary: "Koreans come to China not only for their own development, but also because they see China's opportunities and vitality. We hope that through exchanges and cooperation with Chinese, we can create a better future together. Although this sentence is short, it fully reflects the yearning of South Koreans for China and their expectations for future cooperation. Through our own efforts and joint efforts with the Chinese, we believe that the friendship and exchanges between China and South Korea will deepen day by day, achieve closer cooperation in various fields, and jointly create a better future.
