One way education is cruel is the one-shot at college thing. My wife's from China and her family is amazed that it is possible for her to go back to university in the USA.

Yes, presumably they meant cruel as in merciless or unforgiving (which is acceptable usage). This is a constant in everything from documentaries like the last train home or the biggest chinese resturant in the world and even a theme in major movies like aftershock.
People say that China is 10 years in the future and 10 years in the past, but in many ways it's 50 years both ways.

you have very little chance to be able to get married without a property under your name in China
With the skewed male:female ratio, that would seem to be the least of your worries http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/8451289.stm
>BTW: you have very little chance to be able to get married without a property under your name in China.
This is exaggerated. I've only seen such thing on news or from rumors. But in real life, a lot of my friends, classmates and colleges (both male and female) got married without owning a property.
>Primary/secondary education in China is very, very cruel
How can education be cruel? You may say it's hard or ineffective, but cruel?? What happened to you in your child life?
