     The occasion of this year's college entrance examination, the University of Hong Kong 8 group mobilized again, broad strokes and the mainland source of students, causing many people to talk. A distinct advantage in Hong Kong to mainland schools top student at Beijing University, Tsinghua University and other top elite, the find an alternative. Some scholars have written that the Mainland College Entrance Examination pattern is gradually changed.
    The new place for elite candidates
    This year, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, City University of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, University of Technology, Lingnan University, Hong Kong Baptist University and Colleges of Education in 20 provinces in China to enroll undergraduate students. Among them, the Chinese University and City University under the Ministry of Education approved the inclusion of the first national university admission list of the key universities. The remaining six universities in Hong Kong are self-enrollment.
    "Beijing, 608; Sichuan, 668; Liaoning, 636. We Peking University, Tsinghua University admission scores are very close." Instituted last year, science students taking the average score in the Mainland, Hong Kong, Mainland China University of Technology students and the Dean of Students Dr. Zhu Lijing a look of pride.
    Xiu Ye, Beijing scholar to Tsinghua University was a score of 687 enrolled, after repeatedly weighed, have chosen Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
    Liu Yang, Guangdong champion, give up the Fudan University, they go to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
    Li Yang, Hainan Scholar, Tsinghua University for college entrance was shut out immigration status after they were recorded in the City University of Hong Kong aldehyde.
    Has been identified walks Peking University, Tsinghua University, USTC, Zhejiang University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University and other prestigious universities students, has become key for the source of students of University of Hong Kong. Contact the Hong Kong Science and Technology Institute of China last year, 13 students walked in, there are 5 people walked to Beijing, but after listening to parents, HKUST, introduction, immediately expressed its willingness to send their children to Hong Kong.
    City University of Hong Kong Chinese University and the school entrance examination by the power of the National, a broader knowledge of Mainland candidates and parents. School entrance examination or the other when faced with the choice of application, the Hong Kong University did not underdogs. The Chinese University of Sichuan in 2005 enrolled in liberal arts candidates, the average scores in English as much as 144 points Billing Division, provincial and municipal candidates have been admitted within the top 100 as many as 15 people.
    500,000 yuan scholarship Temptation
    University of Hong Kong is about 60,000 a year tuition -8 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, living in 10,000 -4 10,000 Hong Kong dollars or so. To attract top students, schools have come up with a huge scholarship.
    Mainland Chinese university enrollment this year, 270 plans, which provides 100 full scholarships, including awards for each full 4-year universities all tuition, accommodation and living allowances, totaling about 50 million.
    City University set up 44 million of the "Scholar Scholarship," champion Li Yang Hainan last year, the first honor. In addition, the school has different levels of sub-issuance of other scholarships, from 240 thousand to 20 thousand dollar range.
    From Shenzhen Xue Mingyu, because during high school won the gold medal in International Chemistry Competition in 2004, walked to the North. School soon, he informed the Hong Kong University students enrolled full prize immediately successful application was recorded aldehyde  "I do not think the North worse than the University of Hong Kong, HKU can not accept me as tuition, returned to the living, why not come?" Xue Mingyu said.
    But the temptation is limited to outstanding students.
    Chinese University of Hong Kong, Executive Director Elaine admitted that last year, University of Hong Kong as the world's overseas students set up 100 total awards, each year about 120,000 Hong Kong dollars. Mainland 56 10 students get scholarships, but not all receive the full prize. Xue Mingyu remember, the whole of Hong Kong Award for students enrolled in the North 7, more than 200 the number of applicants, "I'm at Beijing University's class of 10 champion, four gold medalist in international competition, the strength is very strong, but people still think of Hong Kong too much competition, simply do not register the. "
    "Hong Kong's universities have long been merged with the International"
    Not all are directed at scholarships for students from the Mainland. Beijing scholar Xiu Ye main reason for choosing Hong Kong Science and Technology Institute of China, also in Science and Technology Institute of China, "wide vision, integrated Chinese and Western."   
    According to "The Times" rating, has a long history of the university in the world ranking of 200 universities among the top 50, graduated from the school 50% of teachers world-renowned universities, many professors have a significant international influence. "Apart from the Chinese department, the school used in all from the textbook to the classroom teaching of English. Many professors themselves foreigners do not speak Chinese." Chinese University of Hong Kong affairs director Huang Yi Qian said.
    City University Dr. Zhu Guobin also explained that the City University Professor has 52, including 10 countries in the world's leading academicians. He made a comparison, "In mainland China, said many first-class university with international standards, in fact, the University of Hong Kong has long been merged with the International."
    And mainland universities to use more different percentage system for calculation, the results of our students with internationally recognized grade point average calculation of GPA credits.
    This approach of a semester, we urge continued efforts for each subject. "To the city of Wenzhou University of Translation and Interpretation Freshmen Xia Qian said. Because learning achievement is only about 40% of the total score, the usual attendance, tests, assignments, classroom lectures and other anti-greater proportion of total, Xia Qian any day of the course can not be ignored. "college students like me on the floor is always busy, usually playing computer games, final exam cramming, back endorsement on it. "Xia Qian said.
    Flexible credit system so that students have more choices and opportunities. Ice students studying in Hong Kong, Shenzhen Chuang University, she also enrolled at the University of Hong Kong over the door music lessons, Japanese, cultural comparison and math courses are not related. "Mainland universities to students elective second foreign language, but very few options. Hong Kong University of Languages Department, nearly 20 languages for students to choose, the Japanese system is only the second foreign language students to repair a dozen classes on the open." Chuang Ice said.
    Variety of opportunities
    University of Hong Kong's foreign exchange students very seriously. "I want students to experience different cultures and systems, as we train the students not only to manage the Hong Kong and the Mainland, but also to manage the world." The Chinese University Director of Admissions and Financial Aid Mrs Grace Chow said. 
    From Shenzhen City University Business School accounting students Du Xianjie, early next year to Singapore's largest accounting firms internship 5 months, offices and schools will provide him with pay and benefits, and reimbursement of travel expenses. Du Xianjie think, if practice goes well, go directly to work there after graduation.
    And Wenzhou to the Xia Qian also for the University of Texas to the United States next year to do a semester exchange opportunities for students.
    A similar practice and exchange is very common in Hong Kong Universities. Zhu Guobin told this reporter that the department of City University students will find local, mainland and Singapore, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States and other internship opportunities with reputable companies.
    University of Hong Kong 20% of students selected each year to the mainland or the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan, Singapore, the university exchange. The Chinese University of more than 600 foreign students every year to exchange, but also sent more than 400 students from 20 countries in more than 180 university exchange.
    University of Hong Kong school system for 3 years and secondary schools, there were 7 years, in order for students from the Mainland and Hong Kong students simultaneously, all recruited college students from the Mainland into Hong Kong for one year preparatory reading required. Currently, the University, the University, the City and so will matriculation in school, while Kong was commissioned by the Mainland to complete college. Xue Mingyu spent one year in Beijing, "Wei Pei," Time, on the top two universities in the international market with perceptual comparison. According to his statistics, "North each year by the school funds to a maximum of 12 foreign interns, to learn foreign exchange, but 10 to 15; the University of Hong Kong last year, only the top universities abroad, there are 30 exchange students about 12 of them from the mainland. "
    Prospects after graduation, students and parents pay more attention to the underlying problem.
    "Hong Kong is an international city, many people in Hong Kong universities to study further abroad to here as the transition." Zhu Guobin analysis said. According to the City University of statistics, the mainland a few years ago the City University graduates, 67% stay in Hong Kong for employment or further studies abroad. University of Hong Kong into the mainland graduates of Columbia University, Princeton University, MIT and other world-renowned institutions of higher education and the United States, Microsoft, Citibank, New York Life Insurance and other large companies.
    "If you are graduate study abroad, students from the University of Hong Kong should be a bit easier than the Peking University students, after all, the professors here at the international level more influential, and their recommendation letter to the prestigious universities abroad more convincing." Xue Mingyu said, "Beijing University, Tsinghua University, there are many well-known scholars, many of them are no longer a person with undergraduates."
    Admission  mainland: from indifference to overflowing
    University of Hong Kong are mostly from 1998, 1999 enrollment in the Mainland.
   Tthe first sights on the Mainland, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. HKUST Professor, Senior Fellow, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Foundation, Ding Xueliang remember, back in 1993, HKUST recruit mainland students have the idea. "And technology-related source of a serious shortage of undergraduates. The school spent a lot of money in the world recruit teachers, but the best students in Hong Kong do not like to study science and engineering, to learn financial." But, "all Hong Kong universities are public universities, government funding to subsidize tuition. If the enrollment from the Mainland, who is out of this money? "  
    Later, the Hong Kong Jockey Club is willing to provide a fund for scholarships for students in the Mainland to Hong Kong. Initially, the University of Hong Kong commissioned by the Mainland only 10 college and university admissions, the so-called "on behalf of the move", the students must first admitted to the Peking University, Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Nanjing University, Zhongshan University and other 10 universities, through the selection after entering Hong Kong University. Moreover, each university enrollment in Hong Kong is only limited to 10-30. 
    "This basically is the tentative enrollment, student scholarships for all to enjoy the treatment." City University of Hong Kong co-Director of Foreign Liaison, said Dr. Zhu Guobin.
    Change began in 2003. That year, the Ministry of Education to allow self-enrollment in the Mainland and Hong Kong universities, but limited to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Fujian provinces and municipalities 6; in 2004, increased to 10 provinces and cities.  
    Self-enrollment at the beginning, the Mainland to Hong Kong university general reaction to it. "Shanghai focused on the fundamental principals of secondary schools to ignore us." Zhu said Link. In addition to the historic University of Hong Kong, many parents know nothing about Hong Kong University, Chinese University of Hong Kong, they even thought to teach only in Chinese. 2004 HKUST students from the Mainland back to Beijing to do publicity RDFZ not even let them enter the door. "Key to the number of students admitted to secondary schools of Peking University, Tsinghua pride, What kind of schools in Hong Kong?" Zhu Link indignant.  
    University of Hong Kong had to collective action in several major cities held a joint promotion will be. In 2004, a Beijing team to Hong Kong secondary school principals in focus. HKUST pulled into the campus directly to the mission, so that principals feel the HKUST teaching facilities and atmosphere, "Beijing Experimental High School fourth and principal are all aware, the University is also a very good school." The visit to the Science and Technology Institute of China opened in Beijing recruit top student of the situation.
    In 2005, Hong Kong, the scope of university enrollment in the Mainland suddenly expanded to 17 provinces this year, it increased to 20.   
    Government's preferential policies to attract talents from the Mainland to Hong Kong school enrollment is also even more powerful. Labour Department, Hong Kong SAR Government Information Officer He Shuxian shown to this reporter, "Population Policy 2003, Government Report," in reference to: personal connections in the Mainland Mainland Talents and Professionals are familiar with the mainland market, consumer interest and business, they come to Hong Kong work will certainly help in exploring this huge market. Hong Kong must be more flexible admission of Mainland professionals.
    Meanwhile, various government departments in policy for Mainland students studying in Hong Kong and even to take up employment offers.
    In 2005, the Hong Kong University admissions plan is 200-250 people, more than 5,000 the number of applicants; City University of Hong Kong planned enrollment of 120, since the number of applicants than expected admissions to 193. This year, the University is currently only one place in Beijing, the number of participants had more than 600 people.
    Only very different selection criteria
    Not all are suitable for top student in the Mainland in Hong Kong universities. Mrs Grace Chow that "an education system can not fit all."
    In Fudan University, "Wei Pei" one-year Hong Kong University law student Luo Jia Yun has done more, "Hong Kong University and Beijing University, Fudan University and other leading institutions in the Mainland, 'culture' on very different."
    Learn independently and make choices, will be the mainland students in Hong Kong is facing the biggest challenge.
    Also on the Foundation's Liu Yang felt mature quickly, because "to do ID cards, visa renewal would have to handle and exchange have their own plans, but also domestic freshman and junior year when almost."
    Luo Jia Yun also said that "all the time courses students should make their own arrangements, but also for scholarships, exchange opportunities, these characters think is of no use."
    Apart from the Chinese University and City University canceled an interview, participate in the national standardized admissions, the other six universities still using the college entrance examination and interview the combination of self-recruitment. Own admission, the English application, psychology, logic analysis capabilities have become the focus of study.
    Du Xianjie participated in the written test and interview University of Hong Kong has always been that English is the strength of his own and finished feeling too hard after the "level of complexity far beyond the entrance, feeling like TOEFL, IELTS." Difficult interview link further increase, "the entire process must be in English and examiners chat deep their problems, such as how to consider the development of rural China. I asked a classmate of China's space technology development." Du Xianjie, acknowledged that he never thought that such a problem, let alone how to express in English.
    Huang Yi Qian explained that, in addition to English, the interview examiners also pay attention to test the candidate's mental qualities and potential, "This test need not review, begun only a general chat, then gradually in-depth, asking candidates for their applicants professional knowledge, reading books, knowledge accumulation, and observing their personalities and characteristics. "
    In 2005, candidates in the provinces of Hong Kong students, 11 provinces, the highest score college entrance examination was refused. Huang Yi Qian said: "They are not suitable for reading of Hong Kong."
    For example, there are students reported to the Department of Architecture of Hong Kong, but the interview the examiner that the lack of creativity of the students, school construction is taboo. To persuade the student still insists on reading after the construction of Hong Kong only to give up. There are poor candidates in the interview to learn words or no understanding of professional has also been shut out of Hong Kong.
    "Hong Kong universities to train De is a leader talents, we ask students have the analytical skills with good communication skills Yiji organizational ability and team spirit, since only such Xuesheng to become the future leader." Huang Yi Qian said, "sure to break a Guannian , entrance examination results are not necessarily the best students is the best talent. "
    University of Technology, Dr. Zhu Lijing also, for example, the University has been a partial move in Shenzhen science student, liberal arts performance is not good, the general university examination in the Mainland are difficulties. After graduating from Science and Technology Institute of China, the students took a total award to MIT PhD. "Independence of the strong, self-management ability, open-minded, strong social skills of students, it is suitable to study in Hong Kong." Said City University's Dr. Zhu Guobin.
    The impact of a two-way
    With enrollment in the Mainland, Hong Kong University's expansion of influence, some scholars and the media suggested that the attractiveness of Hong Kong College of Beijing University and Tsinghua University have been exceeded, the two sides after the battle in the annual college entrance examination is necessarily the most excellent student.
    This thesis, many people objected. In their view, Hong Kong University's enrollment increase is not unlimited.
    Most Hong Kong universities want in the next few years the proportion of non-local students from the current 10% to 25%. "But the 25% cap," Huang Yi Qian said, "recruit mainland students in order to increase the diversity of biogenic, We do not want the whole school are students from the Mainland."
    Zhu Guobin that impact the flow of mainland talent is not necessarily a bad thing, "If the Hong Kong College of the Mainland College aware of the impact of the mainland make the difference between education, the mainland will take into account how to do."  
    Ding Xueliang think, the education system in Hong Kong, mainland universities will Create two stimulus, first of all is the way to find out how to better the quality of the young, Qian Li; second is how to ensure the way Bupilanyong. The former is concerned with China's education system, which is from the system level, that is, if self-enrollment university in the Mainland, how to ensure that does not produce rot Yan.
    "Higher Education in Hong Kong have their own problems." Xu Zidong said, "In addition to the most famous of the three, the degree of internationalization of other universities not mean what's so good. Some schools in the use of English materials, but if the class Shang Without foreign students, also said the Chinese had started. "
    In addition to bringing in students, Xu Zidong that Hong Kong should introduce the Mainland university scholars and professors, "Hong Kong is very well-paid teaching posts, so hesitant to bringing in the most famous professors and scholars, If I let this piece, the real impact will come, and Hong Kong's universities will also have a very big change. "
