Finally there was only one family between us and the ticket counter. This family made a big impression on me. There

19、 were eight children, all probably under the age of 12You could tell they didnt have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents. The children were excitedly talking about the clo

20、wns, elephants and other acts they would see that night. One could sense they had never been to the circus before. The father and mother were ahead standing proud as could be. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight childrens ticket

21、s and two adult tickets.” The ticket lady quoted（引用）the price. The father leaned a little closer and asked,“How much did you say?” The ticket lady again quoted the price. The man didnt have enough money. How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he didnt have enough money to take them

22、 to the circus? Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand into his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. （We were not wealthy in any sense of the world!）My father reached down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said,“Excuse me, sir, this fell out of you

23、r pocket. ” The man knew what was going on. He looked straight into my dads eyes, took my dads hand in both of his, pressed tightly onto the bill, and with his lip quivering（顫抖）and a tear streaming down his cheek, he replied,“Thank you, thank you, Sir. This really means a lot to me and my family. ”

28、ched 48:1, its the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is. Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed a

29、n unusual attraction to a great many mainland students. Its no doubt to call this HK craze（狂熱）,which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.

31、es is great. Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual（雙語(yǔ)）education.

Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it. The fierc

33、e competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China.
