Maybe the Chinese government can do something to all the parents of "parachute children": if you send your child away, consider the child's interests! Parking your child in a boarding school is not ideal. But in China, parents believe boarding schools are better places than the home. Therein lays a cultural difference between the West and China. Chinese parents seem to shove their responsibility away from them in the hope that their child gets a public education from a boarding school. In reality, children in boarding schools suffer from home sickness.

I’ve lived in China for quite a considerable time including my graduate school years, travelled and worked in a few cities and still choose my destination taking into consideration the density of smog or PM2.5 particulate matter in the region.
