Features: Like the "study abroad waste" phenomenon, which emerged in the late 1980s, and the "new human beings" of the early 1990s, it has become one of the three major phenomena in today's Chinese study abroad market. This book adopts the writing style of news reports and the format of investigative reports, compiling reports on Chinese students from 16 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, etc. It reveals a large number of shocking facts about "study abroad waste": such as "black study abroad agents," "fake foreign universities," "visa corruption," "studying abroad without learning," "becoming illegal immigrants through studying abroad," "prostitution and drug use in study abroad," and so on. All the content in this book is well-sourced, either from the author's personal investigations or quoted from influential media, making it objective and authentic. Every tragic story in the book, such as: "a middle school girl in Munich developing a mental illness after being raped," "a student working as a sex worker in Japan's red-light district," "a U.S. court's 'six no-go' policy strangling He Jia's throat," and "thieves in Russia finding their target in Chinese students," is objectively analyzed to identify the root causes of the problems. This serves as a cautionary warning for students and parents who are planning to study abroad or have already made such plans.
