答案 Returning: Net an Easy Way The tide of going abroad in search for knowledge and a better life started about 20 years ago. when China was underdeveloped and had just opened its door to the world. Over the years, many of them have established their careers, and are enjoying decent lives overseas. In the late 1980s China was badly in need of talents in all sectors of economy, culture, education and government institutions, so overseas returnees were given an honorary nickname "Haigui" (sea turtle), a Chinese pun for returnees from overseas. They were assigned key positions due to their advanced skills and international perspective. However, during the recent decade, an increasing number of students studying overseas chose to come back to China. To them, returning is no longer an easy way to go. First of all, the further opening up of China in the subsequent years has made going abroad to study much easier and more commonplace. A large number of wealthy families are able to send their children abroad to study. Although some international institutions abroad have high demand for foreign students, mine lower-tier institutions have made special concessions for international students to increase their diversity, sometimes even compromising on the quality of applicants just to fill quotas. Thus generally speaking, the quality of the overseas students is in decline. On the other hand, the rapid increase in college enrollment at home has brought out high increase in college graduates each year. The number of college graduates already exceeds the number of limited positions on the job market. As a result, some college graduates are bound to find unsatisfactory jobs or even become the unemployed. So the fierce competition for positions between the overseas returnees and college graduates at home has made employment situation unfavorable to returnees, who are now given a new nickname "Haidai" (sea weed), also a Chinese pun meaning returnees from overseas waiting for jobs. Moreover, returning with high and sometimes unrealistic expectations, many returnees have found themselves having difficulties adapting to their own homeland due to their exposure to new knowledge, new rituals and new traditions. To many of the returnees, culture shock found in a corporate context is more frustrating than that in a societal context. Behavior such as challenging your boss at work proves puzzling to other people. Another often-cited shock concerns working overtime and how it is perceived in a Chinese work place. Staff who are seen around the office after the normal office hours are perceived to be hardworking employees. However, the demand for highly trained and experienced returnees is still there, though some returnees may find it hard to compete with local talents whose capability has been raised and groomed in the Chinese market. I believe overseas returnees are actually common people; they travel in two completely different cultures, looking for a most suitable place to bridge China and the world.
