- seeknotfind 2y agoA student who believes in the freedom of information and is curious probably will do great in school. A great institution understands rules are meant to uplift and protect us, and that a student who sees beyond black ink and chiseled stone for a better tomorrow is the very same breed of rule maker which creates such great institutions in the first place. I know first hand from colleagues, bypassing the censorship is common for intelligent youth in China. We must always ask ourselves what the best is we can do and always avoid the "dangerous slippery slopes"
