Chinese Students in U.S. Aim to Correct Their Image

A side effect of the rapidly accumulating wealth in China is that Chinese students in the U.S. are often assumed to be spoiled kids from rich families. It happens especially frequently with the media in China, which, whenever a student make headlines in the U.S., is more likely than not to dub him or her a member of the “wealthy second generation.” Finally, some students in New York got tired of being misrepresented. They made a short film called “Study Abroad,” slated to premiere in Manhattan on Dec. 5, to correct their distorted image.

Cathy Jiang, the producer, said the film is about the life of Chinese students. But it doesn’t mean to offer a firm conclusion. The audience is free to make its own interpretations.

    Nothing is worse than “Rich Kids of Beverly Hills” 🙁

    This show is like Paris Hilton(s) on speed. What a terrible waste of money, privilege and family connections! These kids need to spend at least a few months working to help a family to survive in a remote village in Cambodia=it would do them all a world of good!
