The children ran the family when their mother was absent. All three of Bobby’s sisters had already made beautiful gifts for their mother.It was Christmas Eve already, and he had nothing.

Slowly, Bobby moved his hand to give the man his dime.Then the shopkeeper’s wife appeared. “Where are the red roses?”The shop owner said, “A strange thing happened to me this morning.

Cambridge and Oxford in the United Kingdom also come across the same problem.According to the Guardian, the road in front of King’s College, Cambridge is usually filled with tourists, including Chinese schoolchildren in uniforms, before most coach (长途汽车) tours have even arrived.Universities in the United States are also popular among Chinese tourists. Nine out of ten Chinese visitors to the US want to tour a university, according to a survey.So why do Chinese tourists have such a big love for famous universities?One reason is that many parents hope to get their children accepted into a top university in the future, according to People’s Daily.One of the mothers from Hunan Province said while walking her 14-year-old son around the campuses of Tsinghua and Peking universities this summer, “I brought him here to see what top universities look like and let him compare them with those of our hometown. I hope he can learn something and be inspired to come here to study in the future,” she told China Daily.And it’s not just ambitious students and parents you’ll find touring campuses. A tourist of 31, who comes from Xi’an, visited tow famous US universities in 2014. “American universities are much more open than Chinese ones. There are no walls,” he told The New York Times, “I was excited. I felt this urge to have a free exchange of ideas with someone.”59 .
