After the parents meeting!

At least, these parents said that they expect their children to learn Chinese in China as it is a very popular modern language nowadays and it is such a good opportunity for their children to learn authentic language here. It certainly showed that their parents who are expatriates in Beijing are much more aware of the importance of learning Chinese language than their kids. However, when it comes to the point that Chinese learning in school, in a school such as Harrow (a British boarding school), the importance of learning Chinese has been lessened. Chinese becomes not as important as everybody wanted.
