I taught at an English-immersion high school in Shanghai.
It's worth remarking that the boy at the top of the class in each grade was dating the girl at the top of the class.
Are you suggesting that in that culture boys/girls did not value the other party unless they were academically similar...?
I can believe it, but I don't know if it's true. Obviously not true in the US.
I'm suggesting that in Chinese culture, academic success is an effective way to impress girls.
Or ... for them to impress guys?
