大家好，我是来自英国的纪录片创作者丽莎。我和我团队历时七个月拍摄了这样一部纪录片。
英国高校以卓越的学术成就吸引了大量的国际学生，但这其中有一批学生正以惊人的速度被录取，为英国大学带来了大量收入。 他们就是来自中国的留学生。 伦敦国王学院和哈佛肯尼迪学院于 2021 年发布的一份报告显示，英国大学对中国学生存在日益增长的经济依赖。 我们走访了全英各地的大学，采访了40多名中国学生，对十几所大学搜集数据并统计，试图从中国学生的视角来研究这个问题。 我们希望通过这部纪录片，更清楚地说明英国大学吸收更多中国学生现象背后所存在的财政驱动，及其对中国留学生留学体验的影响。
UK universities attract a large number of international students with the promise of academic excellence. One particular group of students is being admitted at a record speed, bringing large amounts of income to UK universities. These are students coming from China. A report released in 2021 by King's College London and the Harvard Kennedy School raised concerns about the UK universities’ increasing financial dependence on Chinese students. Travelling across the country to different universities, interviewing over 40 Chinese students and sending Freedom of information requests to over ten universities, we set out to examine this issue from the Chinese students' point of view. The aim of this documentary is to shed more light on how UK Universities' financial drive to attract more Chinese students is impacting the Chinese students' experience at university.
