In today's society, studying abroad is no longer the "patent" of the rich, and studying abroad is becoming a fashion into the planning of ordinary familiesAccording to the "Survey Report on Chinese Students' Intention to Study Abroad", the proportion of study abroad families with an annual income of 800,000-1 million and more than 1 million is only 403%；Households with an annual income of 300,000-500,000 yuan account for 157%；The largest proportion of international students has an annual income of "11-200,000", followed by families with an annual income of "21-300,000", and families with an annual income of 100,000-300,000, accounting for nearly 40%. Compared with the background survey of the parents of those who intend to study abroad in the past eight years, the proportion of "general employees" has increased year by year, accounting for 44%, far exceeding the heads of units, executives and middle-level leadership families. 
It is not difficult to see from these data that children from ordinary families have begun to become the main force of the study abroad group, especially driven by the continuous improvement of living standards, the gradual change of educational concepts, and the pressure of the domestic job marketTheir desire to change their fate through studying abroad is also stronger, so can studying abroad become a ray of hope for ordinary students to change their fate?Faced with this question, a thousand people will have ten thousand interpretations! Before answering the question, let me share a real-life exampleLi Meijing, who was born in Henan Province, is as her name suggests, her appearance is outstanding, and her family conditions are acceptable, although her academic performance is average, but there is a mother who attaches great importance to her children's learning. Take 2023, for exampleHenan Province ranks first in the country with 1.31 million people; Shandong, Hebei, Sichuan, and Guangdong were 800,000, 830,000, 770,000, and 7020,000 people are ranked second to fifth, and it is so difficult to fight their way out of the encirclement among millions of people! 
Fortunately, Li Meijing's mother is forward-looking, and she has long expected that in the domestic education involution war, even if her children try their best to meet the college entrance examination, they will only go to a second college, and after graduation, they will either work and receive a salary of 35,000 per month, or continue to take the domestic postgraduate examination, and it will be difficult to go ashore in World War II and World War III, such a process and result are difficult and cruel for children.
Another way out is to study abroad, not only to escape from involution, but also to obtain better educational resources and pursue a better lifeSo in Li Meijing's sophomore year of high school, she began to prepare for foreign universities, in order to improve the acceptance rate, Li Meijing applied for a number of foreign universities, and the language barrier in the admission conditions of foreign colleges and universities is a hurdle, and universities in Europe, America, Australia and Canada are basically stuck in English IELTS and TOEFL scores, and there is no English language environment in China, Li Meijing, who originally wanted to improve her English level through studying abroad, was naturally not admitted to universities in Europe, America, Australia and Canada. Later, Li Meijing's mother sighed: "Even if we pass the language barrier, the tuition and living expenses in Europe, America, Australia and Canada are not something that ordinary families like us can afford at our own expense." ”
In the end, Li Meijing was admitted to two universities in the Philippines and MalaysiaI chose to apply for these two countries before, mainly because the cost is not high, and the cost of studying abroad is tens of thousands of yuan a year, which ordinary families can afford; There is also cultural exchange, all of which belong to Southeast Asian countries, which are close to China and convenient to travel back and forthBut when two universities in two countries sent offers, for Li Meijing, who wanted to improve her English skills by studying abroad, she saidThere is no doubt that the Philippines has an advantageFirst of all, the Philippines is the third largest English-speaking country in the world and has a natural language environmentAlthough there is no English score at the time of admission, in order to ensure the quality of students' classes, for students with poor English foundation, 90-120 hours of English courses organized by the pre-placement school will be arranged, and the course content mainly focuses on the later learning and teaching content, after 6-8 weeks of intensive learning, students can keep up with the rhythm of the tutor's lectures; 
Secondly, the education model of the Philippines, because the Philippines was under the colonial rule of the United States for a long time, and the education system after independence followed the American education systemEuropean and American countries recognize Philippine academic qualifications, and many Philippine university graduates, master's and doctoral students are very recognized in some Western countries such as the United States, which can be said to be one of the green channels to study and work in European and American countries; In addition, the status of Chinese in the Philippines is relatively highThe Philippines has a population of more than 100 million, of which more than 1 million are Chinese, although they account for less than 2%, but they control the economic lifeline of the Philippines, from banking, transportation, tobacco, medicine, to real estate, communications, catering, retail, the most important industries in the Philippines are basically dominated by Chinese enterprises, and there are many opportunities in the Philippine business environment, rich resources, friendly to Chinese, and international students are also highly respected. After comparison,Li Meijing chose the University of São Paulo in the Philippines, which is one of the best in the Philippines for a century-old school, the school has rich teaching experience, through the combination of theory and practice teaching mode to improve students' cultural performance, the school also attaches great importance to the play of students' personal strengths, and organizes students to participate in various competitionsIn 2023 alone, students were organized to participate in the Water Cube Chinese Song Competition, basketball league, badminton league, marathon, etc., and all achieved very good results. Li Meijing won the championship of the beauty contest with her outstanding appearance advantages, and attracted the attention of some ** and entertainment companies, in the face of the warm invitation to sign a debut, Li Meijing decisively refused, because in the long run, learning is the most important thing, whether it is looking for a job or a partner in the future, academic improvement is an indispensable weapon for personal plus. 
Later, Li Meijing studied for a master's degree at the University of São Paulo in the Philippines, and after graduation, she joined a well-known company in the United StatesThrough his solid professional ability and smart and courageous work style, he soon became a middle-level manager of the company, and met his current husband in the business development, a rich second generation from Singapore
This is a real-life case of changing one's destiny through studying abroad, but not everyone is like Li MeijingWe can't blindly amplify the ideal aura of studying abroad to change destiny, but we can't deny that there are indeed many people who have gotten rid of the serious involution of learning and employment pressure in China through the track of studying abroad, and there is an indisputable fact that studying abroad has indeed brought more opportunities to individuals, met more friends, broadened their horizons and thinking, and improved their pattern and vision
