No matter which country they come from or where they go for further study, there is only one goal -- to win a better future.
In recent years, the number of Chinese students and returnees has increased rapidly. When "overseas study guide" and "overseas returnee employment guide" are frequently seen in the domestic media and the Internet, studying abroad and returning to China is also a topic of concern and discussion among our neighbors.
A few days ago, the young reference reporter interviewed several overseas returnees who had studied in China, and tried to understand the employment situation of overseas students and returnees.
Thai returnees: it's easy to find work in Chinese.
In April of this year, the ministry of education released data on Chinese students coming to China for 2015. Report shows that at present our country received from 202 countries, 390000 students studying abroad, the top ten students countries followed by South Korea, the United States, Thailand, India, Russia, Pakistan, Japan, kazakhstan, Indonesia and France. Among them, South Korea, India, Pakistan and kazakhstan have all grown in number. According to the ministry of education, the country of the students from the "One Belt And One Road" countries has become an important point for the study in China.
Another set of data that is worth paying attention to is that the main body of foreign students in China has been transferred from the government scholarship students to self-funded international students. Currently, the total number of students studying in China is 89.79%.
As Chinese students choose to study in countries such as Britain and the United States, foreign students go to China for further study, which is also a better development for the future. Chen shurong, a Thai boy, knows this and goes to study in China to help his career develop smoothly.
Speaking of the decision to study in China nine years ago, Chen said it was "father's vision". "My father is Chinese and my mother is Thai, so I am not a pure Thai. My father taught us to learn Chinese from the novel, thinking that China must be a great power in the future. Thailand is next to China, and it will suffer if you do not understand Chinese. In view of this, three of our brother and sister have been sent to China to study. His reference to youth
In 2007, Chen shurong came to China and went to Beijing university after the college entrance examination. In the seven years of studying abroad, Chen has served as President of the two Thai students' union. He believes that it is very important to make friends with local people when studying abroad, and he has many Chinese friends. In doing so, he has a better understanding of China's customs and customs, and more importantly, it brings him a wonderful international relationship.
When he was reading, he met his wife, the chongqing girl, who was also studying at education college in Peking University. After graduation in 2014, the couple returned to Thailand to live together. Last fall, when their "love crystal" tree was born in Bangkok, Mr. Chen affectionately called the child "the descendant of tai Yang."
, according to data from the Chinese ministry of education in recent years as China's economic development, and gradually increase communication with the countries of southeast Asia, southeast Asia students studying abroad in China more and more, the Thai students gain is most obvious. Mr. Chen said that in his seven years at Peking University, the number of students in Thailand has been increasing. At present, there are at least 200 Thai students studying in Peking University. In addition to the regular self-funded study, Peking University will select local students from the Confucius institute of chulong kung university in Thailand every year, starting with a dozen people and now reaching 50 or 60 people.
As China's economic power grows, the Chinese craze is spreading across southeast Asia, Chen told young people. In the past, when Thai students considered studying abroad, they preferred America, Britain and Australia, but now more and more people want to go to China. He described the trend as a "throwaway from the ocean".
Back in Thailand, Mr. Chen set up Chinese TrEE, a Chinese language training institute for primary and secondary school students in Thailand. He said: "even if you don't business, came back from China sea to find work is also very easy, now a lot of job opportunities related to Chinese, Thai tourism in Thailand 80% of its revenue from China, zhongtai bilingual tour guide and translation are tight talent."
"If any of my family and friends want to study abroad, I would be happy to recommend them to China. Thais need to get to know China more. "Mr. Chen said.
Korean sea return: the foreign diploma is in depreciation.
South Korea's "post-80s" girl has a much more difficult career path than Thailand's returnees. In 2003, she went to Beijing foreign studies university. Speaking of the reasons for studying in China, xiaolu told the youth reference: "we have three children in my family. If we all study in Europe and America, the economic pressure is quite high. I heard that it is cheaper to study in China, and it is not difficult to get a scholarship, so I went to study in China.
At the end of July, 2008, he returned to South Korea after studying abroad in China. In October of that year, he was admitted to the institute of translation studies of Korea foreign studies university, and studied in China and South Korea.
He has studied and lived in China for seven years and has received a regular Chinese education, but the job is not easy to find. In the end, she chose to work as a freelancer in Seoul.
Reference, "she told the young reporter said:" so many people in South Korea, will Chinese and Chinese students in South Korea, for example, once ethnic koreans living in China, and like I used to south Korean students to study in China... Overall, it is difficult for people studying abroad to return to South Korea to find jobs.
'the situation is similar to that of the Chinese returnees,' Mr. Park said. 'after decades of rapid development, South Korea has become very international, especially in English and Chinese.' In the past, it was popular to return to Korea, but now many people can't find work, and some people have to go to the sea again and go to the doctor.
In South Korea, the advantages of returnees are becoming less obvious, according to park. "For example, two people are university undergraduate course graduation, all in English, a study has been South Korea, the other is a sea turtles, employers may prefer people with local diploma, because he know about South Korea's situation more... Now, the number of Korean students studying in China stays in China because they can't find a job and can teach Korean at least in China.
According to media reports, miss park's experience is not unique. "Japanese economic news" said that South Korea has attached great importance to education, but in recent years, the number of south Korean students falling, to the number of students in the United States in particular has negative trend for four years.
Kookmin university associate professor, LG group, former director of recruiting at Kim dong-jin, said although the south Korean employers still value with foreign universities degree candidates, but the demand for ordinary returnees is reduced. Due to the price lower, now studying abroad is no longer a popular choice of South Korea's young people, more and more people tend to accept education at home, especially in the current special period of South Korea's economic downturn, high youth unemployment.
Japan returnees: overseas job hunting is a trend.
Two years ago, Japan's "post-90s" matsuyama came to China to study, and because his mother was a Chinese, he had a very common Chinese name, wang di. This summer, he returned to Tokyo after graduating from Peking University and found work in a small local company.
This situation is not what wang di thought. He had planned to go into a larger business, but he found, in a succession of interviews, that he was competing not only with Japanese graduates, but also with silver-haired ones. "The job market in Japan is becoming less and less friendly, and it's getting harder for young people to find jobs," wang said. There has also been a change in the direction of the job search, because big companies are hard to come by and many have to switch to smaller, less well-known companies.
"While it is relatively easy for Japanese students to find jobs in China, some of my Japanese classmates work in Japanese companies in places like Beijing, Shanghai and wuxi." "In order to reduce costs, Japanese companies in China will recruit a lot of Chinese workers and technicians," wang told youth reference. But for important positions such as finance, personnel and quality supervision, the top executives still want to be held by native speakers who know Chinese and have relevant experience. And Japanese students after a period of study, for China's social and cultural, political and economic system have a certain understanding of, and familiar with local conditions, which makes them more than domestic talent has the ability to get the opportunities, this characteristic is especially obvious in the Japanese enterprise."
In Japan, working abroad seems to be more of a trend than returning to employment. "Today, young people in Japan are trying to look abroad for the future," the nikkei said. Regardless of whether or not you have gone abroad, many people will clearly express their willingness to work overseas and don't mind going to any place on the map.
According to data released by Japan's ministry of culture, more than 20,000 Japanese students are studying in China, and China has become Japan's largest destination. In order to promote the internationalization and diversification of domestic enterprise employees, Mr Abe's government has put forward the "300000 plan", by 2020 the number of foreign students from 140000 to 300000 in 2008, and to create a good learning and employment environment for sea turtles.
Mr. Wang is in a small, small tech start-up. He told young reference that if he had the right opportunity, he would be a regular office worker in a big company, not a "veteran" in a start-up.
不管来自哪个国家、前往哪里深造，人们的目的只有一个——赢得更好的未来。近年来，我国留学生与海归人数均飞速增长。当“留学指导”、“海归就业指南”频繁见诸国内媒体与网络时，在我们的邻邦，留学与归国同样是当地社会关注和热议的话题。
日前，《青年参考》记者采访了数位曾在中国留学的外国海归，试图了解邻邦留学生与海归的就业情况。
泰国海归：会中文找工作很容易
今年4月，教育部公布了2015年全国来华留学生数据。报告显示，目前我国共接收来自202个国家的39万留学人员，前十大生源国依次为韩国、美国、泰国、印度、俄罗斯、巴基斯坦、日本、哈萨克斯坦、印度尼西亚和法国。其中，韩国、印度、巴基斯坦和哈萨克斯坦4国生源数均有所增长。教育部表示，留学生生源国覆盖范围稳定，“一带一路”沿线国家成为来华留学的重要发力点。
另一组值得关注的数据是，来华留学生主体已从政府奖学金学生转变为自费留学生，目前自费生占来华留学生总数的89.79%。
和中国学生选择到英美等国留学一样，外国学生到中国深造，图的也是未来有更好的发展。泰国小伙儿陈树荣对此深有体会，到中国留学，让他回国后的事业发展顺风顺水。
说起9年前到中国读书的决定，陈树荣仍感叹这是“父亲的远见”。“我爸爸是华人，妈妈是泰国人，所以我不算纯粹的泰国人。父亲教我们从小说中文，认为将来的中国一定是强国，泰国紧挨着中国，不懂中文会吃亏。鉴于这一点，我们姐弟3人先后被送到中国念书。”他对《青年参考》
2007年，陈树荣来到中国，通过留学生高考后顺利进入北京大学(分数线,专业设置)中文系深造。在长达7年的留学生活中，陈树荣先后担任了两届泰国学生会主席。他认为，留学时广泛融入当地生活圈子，结交本土朋友非常重要，他本人就有不少中国朋友。这么做让他更了解中国的风土人情，更重要的是，为他带来了美妙的跨国情缘。
读书时，陈树荣认识了现在的妻子——同在北大对外汉语教育学院读书的重庆姑娘羊乃书。2014年硕士毕业后，夫妻俩一起回到泰国生活。去年秋天，他们的“爱情结晶”小树在曼谷出生，陈树荣亲切地称孩子是“泰羊的后裔”。
中国教育部的数据显示，随着近年来中国经济的发展，以及与东南亚国家的交流逐渐增加，来华留学的东南亚学生越来越多，其中泰国留学生的涨幅最为明显。陈树荣表示，他在北大读书的7年中，泰国同学的数量一直在增加，目前，在北大读书的泰国留学生至少有200人。除了常规的自费留学，北大每年会通过泰国的朱拉隆功孔子学院选拔招收当地学生，最初是十几人，现在达到五六十人。
陈树荣告诉《青年参考》记者，随着中国经济实力的不断增强，汉语热正在东南亚各地慢慢扩散。以前泰国学生考虑出国深造时，首选美国、英国和澳大利亚，但现在有越来越多的人想去中国。他诙谐地把这种趋势称为“弃洋从汉”。
回到泰国后，陈树荣在当地创办了专门针对泰国中小学生的汉语培训机构Chinese TrEE。他说：“即使不创业，从中国留学回来的海归找工作也很轻松，现在泰国跟汉语有关的工作机会很多，泰国旅游业80%的收益来自中国，中泰双语导游、翻译都属于紧俏人才。”
“如果有亲朋好友想出国念书，我很乐意推荐他们到中国来。泰国人有必要多接触中国、了解中国。”陈树荣说。
韩国海归：洋文凭在贬值
相比泰国海归陈树荣的顺风顺水，韩国“80后”女孩小朴的求职道路坎坷得多。2003年，她到北京第二外国语大学念书。谈到来中国留学的原因，小朴告诉《青年参考》记者：“我家有3个小孩，如果都到欧美国家留学，经济压力比较大。听说到中国留学比较便宜，拿奖学金也不难，于是到中国留学。”
2008年7月底，小朴结束在中国的留学生活回到韩国，在当年10月考入韩国外国语大学翻译大学院读研，学习中韩同声传译。
小朴有过在中国学习生活的经历，并接受了7年系统正规的汉语教育，但工作并不好找。最终，她选择在首尔做一名自由职业者。
她对《青年参考》记者说：“在韩国，会中文的人非常多，比如在韩国的中国留学生，曾经在中国生活的朝鲜族人，还有像我一样曾到中国留学的韩国学生……整体而言，出国留学的人回韩国找工作都很困难。”
小朴说，和中国海归的境遇类似，经过几十年的快速发展，韩国国际化的程度已经很高，会英语和中文的人特别多。以往，海归回到韩国很吃香，但现在很多人找不到工作，有些人不得不再次远渡重洋，去读博士。
小朴认为，在韩国，海归的优势越来越不明显。“比如，两个人都是大学本科毕业，都会英语，一个一直在韩国学习，另一个是海归，雇主很可能更青睐拥有本土文凭的人，因为他对韩国的情况更了解……现在，到中国留学的韩国学生留在中国的挺多，因为回来找不到工作，在中国至少可以教韩语。”
从媒体的报道看，朴小姐的经历并非特例。《日本经济新闻》称，韩国素以高度重视学业著称，但近来年，韩国留学生的数量不断下降，特别是赴美学生人数，已连续4年呈下滑态势。
韩国国民大学副教授、LG集团前招聘负责人金东进表示，虽然韩国雇主仍看重拥有外国名校学历的应聘者，但对普通海归的需求正在减少。由于性价比降低，如今出国留学已不再是韩国年轻人的热门选择，更多的人倾向于在本土接受教育，尤其是在当前韩国经济低迷、年轻人失业率高的特殊时期。
日本海归：海外求职是趋势
两年前，日本“90后”松山大辅来中国留学，由于母亲是华人，他有一个很普通的中国名字——王迪。今年夏天，他从北京大学毕业后返回东京，辗转在当地一家小公司找到了工作。
这种情况是王迪没有想到的。他原本计划进入规模较大的企业，但在一次次应聘中他发现，与其竞争的不但有日本本土的毕业生，还有银发一族。王迪感叹道，受经济长期低迷的影响，“日本国内的求职环境越来越不友好，年轻人就业愈发困难。求职风向标也有所变化，因为大企业难进，很多人只得转投规模较小、知名度不高的新公司”。
“而日本留学生在中国找工作相对容易，我的一些日本同学在北京、上海、无锡等地的日资企业就职。”王迪对《青年参考》记者说，“为了降低成本，日资在华企业会招聘很多中国工人和技术人员。但对于财务、人事、质量监管等重要岗位，高层仍希望由既懂中文又有相关经验的本国人承担。而且日本留学生经过一段时间的学习，对于中国的社会文化、政治经济制度有一定的了解，又熟悉当地情况，这使得他们比日本国内的人才更有能力获得这些机会，这一特点在日本独资企业中尤为明显。”
在日本，相比归国就业，到海外任职似乎更是潮流所向。日经中文网指出：“如今，日本年轻人开始尝试去海外寻找未来。不管有没有出国经历，在求职时，很多人都会明确表示愿意到海外工作，而且不介意去地图上的任何地方。”
从日本文部省发布的数据看，目前在华的日本留学生超过两万人，中国已成为日本最大的留学目的地。为了促进本土企业员工的国际化与多样化，安倍政府此前提出了“30万留学生计划”，即到2020年将留学生人数由2008年的14万增加到30万，并为海归营造良好的学习和就业环境。
王迪目前所在的是一家小型科技创业公司，成立时间短、规模小。他告诉《青年参考》记者，如果能碰到合适的机会，他愿意做大公司里的普通上班族，而不是初创企业里的“元老”。
