Parents who go abroad to study abroad are most worried about the personal safety of their children, because it is really not peaceful abroad.
December 14, 2023 marks the 11th anniversary of the large-scale** incident at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, USA. Regrettably, American society is still deeply affected by gun violence and the frequent occurrence of large-scale incidents.
We are now 11 years after the Sandy Hook incident, and guns are now the number one cause of death among children in the United States. And one out of every 10 deaths** occurs in people aged 19 or younger.The United States is still a country inundated with guns. But the world is not just looking at the United States, which is threatened by guns. On December 21, according to Czech sources, at least 15 people were killed and 24 others were injured in an incident at Charles University in Prague on the same day. The suspect has been confirmed dead.
At a special meeting held on the same day of the incident at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, it was decided to designate December 23 as a national day of mourning to express condolences and care for the victims of the incident. The meeting was attended by Czech Pavel and the President of the Chamber of Deputies.
It's not just about the ** case that is worth being wary of, some time ago a term was also brushed up in the circle of friends - "Paris syndrome".
What is Paris Syndrome?
To put it simply, when many people arrive at Paris, the romantic capital of their dreams, they find that it is not as beautiful as they imagined, and a large number of disappointed and lost emotions fill their hearts.
How messy is Paris exactly?In Paris, we need to be on the lookout for street thieves and young robbers, and there are bad eyes everywhere.

To be honest, foreign scams are endless, not only Chinese but also foreigners. But as an international student, you have a dual identity, so that the opportunity to cosplay is available, you just need to remember one mantra:
And Chinese pretend to be foreigners, and foreigners pretend to be Chinese
Step 1: Confirm the identity of the other party
The number and language of the scam** may not match, even the ** of a foreign number may speak Chinese. Therefore, the first step is to confirm which language the other person is using. When picking up, you can use "hi" as a greeting, because this is a greeting that both Chinese and foreign people may use, so as to avoid revealing their identity.
After the other party responds, you can basically confirm the identity of the other party. Many ** speak Chinese or English with an accent (of course, this is not absolute, if there is a better way to confirm whether the other person is **, please share it in the comment area).
Step 2: Pretend you don't understand
If the other person speaks Chinese, you can start pretending not to understand and constantly respond in a foreign language, such as "i."'m sorry, what are you saying?Or" i'm sorry, i don't think i understand you", etc. Generally speaking, Chinese ** are not very good at foreign languages, and even if you talk nonsense, they may not understand it.
After listening to a few words, they may think that they have made a mistake in the number, feel that they can't communicate with you, and finally hang up** and can't successfully scam the information. The ** of foreign nationality is the same, directly respond in Chinese, they will definitely not understand.
Of course, it is more effective if you know some other foreign language, which basically prevents any possible communication.
