Read this article on the Internet. The article talks about how university students in Nanjing got up early and queue up in front of the library so that they can have a spot in the library to study. All this was done in the freezing temperature of the winter season. Some users also talk about how this is common in China universities and even down to lectures, some students show up 2 hours ahead of time to reserve better and more central seats to the lecturer. Maybe this is what our dear MM was talking about when he said...."Singaporeans need a spur in their hide" and how he praised foreigners for being more hardworking and faster and better (not necessarily in my opinion). I feel the same students we see in the picture probably do quite well in school, and do well enough to be able to leave China for the US, UK or some destination of their FIRST choice.
Anyways, I leave up to you all to read and extrapolate...
