The past decades between 1980 and 2014 have witnessed a mounting number of Chinese students
studying abroad and returning from overseas.As is illustrated by the curve chart,the number
of Chinese students studying abroad increased from 0 to 500,000 and that of returnees climbed
to 350,000.Overall,both the figures were on the rise.
A multitude of factors may have led to the tendency revealed by the chart,but the following
are the critical ones from my perspective.First,along with the development of Chinese economy,
the number of Chinese studying abroad has been soaring,which has provided an expanding base
for the number of returnees.In the second place,the globalization has made it much easier
and more convenient for Chinese to study abroad.
The waves of students studying abroad and returnees will contribute to China's development
of industries,since they have brought back advanced science and technology.Also,they have
introduced pioneering concepts of education,which can help to reserve talents.With more
students going abroad and coming back from overseas,we have reasons to expect the promotion
of international exchanges.
