I mean, this speaks to the one child policy as well as the value put on education in Asia. From a western perspective having to spend 3x annual household income on a masters degree would be absurd.

Yep my mother was saying she can’t find a better investment opportunity than education for this 300k RMB (an awkward amount of money)
