A Chinese social media post about the sponsored-education trajectory of a poor young woman who wants to become a rich housewife has stoked heated online debate about the purpose of academia.
The post on Xiaohongshu, from an IP address which indicates that the self-confessed confused sponsor was based in the northeastern province of Liaoning, said that she was perturbed by the fact that a poor girl she had financially supported for eight years had chosen to become a housewife.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
