Under the bright halo of science and technology, Chinese students have put on their robes and embarked on a journey. For them, the United States is a land of unlimited opportunities and a holy place to realize their dreams. However, in this foreign land, there are not only brilliant success stories, but also hidden dark corners where many international students have sunk. Xiaomi (not her real name) is one of the heart-wrenching examples.
Xiaomi, an automotive engineer, is a talented graduate of a first-class prestigious university in China. His talent and knowledge earned him the admiration and support of a professor, paving the way to study in the United States. However, fate always seems to like to make some casual jokes.
Stepping on the soil of the United States, Xiaomi seems to be in a labyrinth of a foreign land, looking around but not knowing where to go. Life and culture in the United States were very different from what he had imagined. Behind the seemingly brilliant aura, there are all kinds of ** and traps, and what awaits him is a bumpy and tortuous journey.
In this exotic land, Millet began to be attracted to the glamorous rich children around her. They drive glittering luxury cars, squander their parents' hard-earned money in designer stores, and enjoy everything life has to offer. These rich children seem to live in a world without tomorrow, indulging in the feast of youth and glory.
Gradually, Xiaomi was also attracted to this luxurious life. In a lonely foreign land, he longs to find a sense of belonging, an aura of his own. So, he began to follow those rich children, integrated into their lives, and indulged in the fog of fame and fortune.
From the initial expectation and longing, to the later loss and sinking, Xiaomi's study abroad journey has become more and more tortuous. According to a classmate, Xiaomi began to skip school soon after in the United States, playing with those rich kids all day long, and getting lost in the carnival of bars and famous brands. They drive luxury cars, run wild in the night, squander their parents' money, and enjoy everything in life without any scruples.
However, beneath the glossy surface, there are endless dangers and challenges. In a conflict with the gang's family, Xiaomi was unfortunately injured and hospitalized, casting a shadow over his study abroad career. Without the trust and support of the professor, Xiaomi's future suddenly darkened.
In this strange country, the isolated Xiaomi finally chose to give up and returned to its homeland. What he left behind was not only a dream to be remembered, but also a trembling and restless heart. What was once a talented automotive engineer has now been reduced to an ordinary engineer, far from his former dreams and glory.
Xiaomi's story tells us that studying abroad is not as easy and beautiful as imagined. In a foreign country, challenges and ** are everywhere, testing a person's will and character. For international students, it is very important to keep their original intention and clear head. Not to be blinded by material **, firmly pursue your own dreams and goals, in order to walk out of a glorious road of your own.
