Cutting the Cord
Sept. 3, 2007 - Wuhan, Hubei, China - The parents of Wuhan University freshmen accompany their children on the first day of school. The parents even sleep on mats laid out on the gymnasium floor! China's rapid development is spurring record interest in a college education, and of the 9.5 million students sitting for the 2007 exams, only 5.7 million will achieve that dream. That's about one out of every 230 people in China.
