I am a student from USTC. Even though I should say thanks to this mother for her help in boasting USTC's reputation, there is really certain level of exaggeration in her words. Nowadays to go abroad can only be considered as one of the options for life, not necessary to be the best. So no need to be so proud of it. A lot of hard work is needed to reach the expert level if one is really interested in pure science such as physics, mathematics or chemistry and has decided to devote him/herself to research work. However even though you may finally turn out to be a professor in Harvard, you also may have lost the chance to be the next Yang Yuanqing or Zhang Ruimin, and in my opinion their contribution to China is no less than any USTC student being abroad. Hopefully there will be more and more USTC students (being abroad) to make contribution to bring our motherland's core competancy in Science and Technology to world top level. Otherwise to go abroad is not of much significance
