A Letter to College Graduates–給畢業同學的一封信：代間的省思
Monday, January 30th, 2012Yesterday I had a gathering with a former student, who is a junior in college now. During our chat, she told me how she missed high school life because everyone in the class had the same goal–to go to a good college. As a college student, she is confronted with the uncertainty of life, which causes anxiety.
Then yesterday evening I came across this article. It is long, with 8941 words, but worth reading. Though the title indicates it is for college graduates, the author Mr. Chen actually intended to get his message across to more people.
