With a shrinking demography, one problem is that the size of pool of elite is also shrinking. Physics professors in top universities of China has complained on social media that the younger generation lacked both dedication and intuition, that he had to lower the bar for his final exam to extremely easy.
- am1988 9y agoAn older guy complaining young people are lazy? I am shocked. Absolutely shocked.
- ttflee 9y agoNot only lazy but weak in academics.
- WithHighProb 9y agoYou really can't imagine how hard working were the older generation of China. It was even kinda brutal from young people's points now. Srsly, an Asian's "lazy" (remember an A- is a F there)? Pretty sure the "extremely easy" exam will fail 90% of the class if moved to US
