卧虎藏龙:北大保安成为教育工作者
More than 500 security guards working at Peking University were admitted to graduate schools or became university instructors in the last 20 years, a recent report revealed.
过去20年间,在北京大学工作的500多名保安获准进入研究生学院或成为大学讲师。
This figure from one of China's most prestigious post-secondary institutions transforms the stereotype that security guards are under-educated.
Their achievements may not seem as glittery as the number of Chinese obtaining degrees overseas, but with a full-time job and family to take care of they have to exert more effort than many on studying.
Netizens have therefore joked that "Peking University security guards are truly 'crouching tigers and hidden dragons'."
