According to a news story by Xi’an Evening News of Shaanxi Province, a girl named Lin Lin got her gaokao score on June 25, higher than the cutting score. She was delighted with the score, which would allow her to be admitted to a foreign language studies college, but her parents had divided opinions over what major she should choose: her mother said she should study international trade while her father demanded that she should choose finance and economics.
Although the two suggested majors would possibly guarantee Lin Lin a good job in the future, Lin Lin was upset that she had no say in the matter. On one hand, she firmly believed that she should determine her own future by choosing her own major. On the other hand, she didn’t want to hurt her parents’ feelings but couldn’t convince them to trust her as an independent woman who was smart enough to make her own choices.
Actually, Lin Lin’s case is not an isolated one, and my cousin in Shenzhen faced a similar situation. My cousin hardly did anything after he took his gaokao and just played video games all day long. His parents, though, spent a lot of time helping him pick just the right school and major.
However, when it comes to choosing a college and major, no parent can make the decision for their children , but parents still can be a good guide if they do things the right way.
