"Although China is still a developing country, the cost of education is already catching up with some developed nations. Nowadays, universities are overly ambitious, running education through 'rent-seeking' methods. People worry about the government not providing funding, but who truly considers whether students can afford the tuition fees?" "The real killer of Yue Fei was excessive reliance on violence, leading to excessive caution by the centralized authority in dealing with dissenters. As long as this political structure remains unchanged, no matter how many Yue Feis there are, they will all die." "In the trades worked by migrant workers, China is internationally competitive. In our 'intellectuals' profession, China has never been part of the international elite, and even today, there is still no sign of hope."
