"Interviewing Chinese students on the streets of Japan to show off their wealth is far from simple! "！
Last week, a Japanese street talk show attracted heated discussions and attention among Chinese netizens.
In this episode, Chinese students are interviewed about studying and living in Japan. In the course of the interview, it was found that the pocket money of all Chinese students was higher than that of Japanese middle-income students.
Japanese viewers expressed envy, jealousy and hatred, while Chinese netizens expressed surprise.
However, further investigation revealed that things are not that simple, and there is something suspicious going on behind the scenes!
The first time you've fallen asleep, and that big guy is me?
Check out some of the best footage from this street TV show.
On January 29, 2024, at 11 p.m., the popular Japanese variety show "Moonlit Night" aired a street survey of Chinese students.
It is said that the original intention of Chinese students to study in Japan has changed"Prosperity Show"。Whether this is a coincidence will be analyzed below. First, let's discuss the show's"Shocking"Content.
The first one is a Chinese student who looks like a royal sex bomb!
The headset fee is 100,000 yen (about 4,800 yen), and the monthly living expenses are 700,000 yen (about 33,000 yen). All this money is paid by the mother of the international student.
The second Chinese student is also good:'The rent is 200,000 yen (about 9,600 yuan) per month, and the living expenses are 400,000 yen (about 19,000 yuan) per month. The rent is 200,000 yen (about 9,600 yuan) per month, and the living expenses are 400,000 yen (about 19,000 yuan) per month.
The third Chinese student to come to power is an even bigger king.
In just one and a half years in the East, they spent nearly 20 million yen (about 950,000 yen), while the usual monthly living expenses were 600,000 yen (about 2.).860,000 yen).
When asked why he wanted to study in Japan, his answer appealed to reporters in front of the TV, variety show guests and Japanese viewers"Tears flowed down his face", I can't calm down for a long time.
The international student's answer was:'I came to Japan because my family didn't have any money...'
Some international students have a monthly living allowance of 500,000 yen (about 24,000 yen) and a meal fee of 250,000 yen (about 12,000 yen).
The survey found that the student's food budget alone is equivalent to the average monthly income of a Japanese university graduate!
However, the above four students can only be counted"Rainy day"。
Some Chinese students buy a house as soon as they arrive in Japan! This is for the comfort and convenience of life.
For example, students in leather clothes have families who can afford the rent of their luxury apartments.
A showrunner asked him:'Yes.
Students in leather suits:"I was poor.
Reincarnation, blonde hair and blue eyes""That is, the age of birth of the blonde (years.
My parents have a luxury apartment in Shinjuku. However, the student did not study hard and was expelled from school.
You've been stripped away.
The next day, the student made an appointment to meet his father. When he told his father that he would start his studies in April this year, his father was very happy. Students are in a hurry"Get down to business", asked his father if he could give him the keys to the house first and pay the living expenses on time.
The father was not deceived.
Of course, this also includes students whose rents range from 40,000 yen (about £1,900) to 60,000 yen (about £2,800).
If the rent is so expensive, unfortunately, it's much cheaper than driving north.
However, these students played only a small role in the show"Role", while becoming colorful in decoration and accompaniment.
In any case, after the broadcast of this episode, the Japanese audience was shocked, and they said that their living conditions were far inferior to those of these foreign students.
Many international students who have difficulties in studying and working can only sigh when they see such a program: I can only sit in the dream of poverty, am I a big man?
Second, what's behind the plan?
Is it true that most Chinese students are wealthy?
This may not be the case.
Some Japanese netizens reported on this:
What this show does best is slander"。Even if these events are real, there is no doubt that the footage has been carefully selected and dozens of interviews have been conducted with many more people.
This conclusion does make sense. In order to broadcast, many variety shows reflect the real situation in terms of content, of course, but things that are transferred for the sake of the program effect.
These TV shows rely on creating conflicts, anecdotes, and focal points to boost ratings. Even talent shows, let alone variety shows, are scripted.
According to the latest data from Japan 2023, a total of 103882 Chinese students came to Japan in 2022. Considering that more than 100,000 people have come to Japan this year alone, the total number of Chinese students studying in Japan is huge.
Of course, there are not a few children from wealthy families, and the program team is likely to have interviewed hundreds of Chinese students on the street, but in order to attract the attention of the audience, only these four or five interviews were conducted, and the effect of the program was naturally quite popular.
In other words, students from middle-class families, who study hard, work hard, but none of them are added to the edit when the show airs.
This was confirmed by a netizen who regularly tunes in to the show.
Some Japanese netizens also pointed out that the content of such programs may create a very bad atmosphere, making Japanese society think that Chinese students are super-rich when they come to study in Japan, and there is no need to give them scholarships.
This is indeed a problem. In fact, scholarships are very important for international students with good academic performance and average family background. Scholarships allow them to spend their time working and studying together.
In response to this scene, some netizens even left an excerpt from Lu Xun's essay "Mr. Fujino" on the notice board.
An international student who returned from studying in Japan recalled:
I studied abroad in the early 2000s and worked my own way to earn tuition, accommodation, and rent. I probably only got 200,000 yen for studying abroad"。However, latecomers who started studying abroad in '08 or '09 already feel much more affluent.
Chinese students"Bear.
Third, will more and more Chinese students go to Japan?
Last year, a report was published in the journal, Japan's largest ** company.
In recent years, the number of Chinese students applying for Japanese high schools has increased year by year, and the number of Chinese students entering universities will continue to grow.
The University of Tokyo has the highest percentage of Chinese students among all international students, at 657%。
University of Tokyo (Japan).
Waseda University and Keio University also have the highest proportion of Chinese students at two well-known universities.
Speaking of Waseda University, it was once raised"Agricultural universities in Japan"and become a joke.
Waseda University.
At present, there are more and more exam preparation schools for Chinese students in Japan.
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of test preparation schools for Chinese students. The tuition fee for one year ranges from 600,000 yen to 1,300,000 yen (about 2.).80,000 to 60,000 RMB). In many cases, language schools and exam preparation schools are affiliations, and many Chinese students attend Japanese language schools during the day and language schools at night in order to enroll early.
Some time ago, there was a very interesting topic about studying in Japan as another option for studying in the West.
Flat replacement"refers to affordable alternatives.
So, does this claim make sense?
We're going to compare.
First, let's take a look at tuition fees in Japan.
Tuition. Language school: 600,000-800,000 yen per year (28,800-38,400 pounds.)
University Teachers: National University of Japan: About 750,000 yen per year (3.)60,000 yen).
Public universities in Japan: about 860,000 yen per year (4.)130,000 yen.
Private universities in Japan: about 1 million yen (48,000 yuan) per year.
Living expenses: According to the information on the Internet, the total cost of living in Japan (food, transportation, accommodation, etc.) for Chinese students is about 150,000 yen.
In other words, the sum of these two items is about 200,000 yen. Of course, this is only a very rough guide, and the cost of living varies greatly from region to region and city to city in Japan.
How much does it cost to study in the UK for a year?
Of course, it is impossible for us to give an exact figure, but assuming that outside of London, it will cost about 400,000 to 500,000 RMB, including tuition fees, living expenses, and various other expenses.
So, how much does it cost to study in the U.S.?
This is only an estimate, as the cost in the United States is higher than in the United Kingdom and Japan, as the cost varies from state, city, and province to province.
In addition to tuition fees, international students must also pay other expenses such as living expenses, insurance, and travel expenses, which average about 12,000 yuan per year. Including tuition at most U.S. universities, the total cost of studying in the U.S. for a year is about $46,000-$56,000. Converted** to RMB, it is about 300,000-360,000 yuan.
The total annual amount is about 450 000 RMB.
So, can you save money studying abroad in Europe?
In the case of the Netherlands (of course, this is only a rough calculation), the monthly cost of food + transportation, savings is calculated at 500 euros, and the accommodation fee is also calculated according to the minimum standard, that is, 500 euros per month, which is equivalent to 1000 euros, not to mention other daily necessities, insurance and additional costs. Tuition fees vary from school to school, with an average of €15,000.
€27,000 per year, or 210,000 RMB. Note: This is already the minimum amount. Do not tighten your belt"Students need to spend 300 000 RMB per year.
In contrast, education in Japan is still many times cheaper than in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe. In addition, the quality of education in Japan is much higher than that of other countries in the world. This may be the reason why more and more Chinese students have been studying in Japan in recent years.
Let's recap:
Interviews in entertainment programs do not necessarily reflect the real situation and are for informational purposes only. Studying at ** is a huge challenge for international students. If they only want to have fun and don't study hard, they will suffer a lot in the long run.
Of course, there is no point in talking about these now, because some people will only realize it on the day of bereavement.
