For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things throughtheir hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacherinvited him there but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher.
