From this incident, we can see that no matter how complex the global situation is, people all over the world can help each other. Further thinking, students studying abroad, especially in developed western countries such as Britain and the United States, can study safely and successfully. Of course, China is also a place for foreign students to learn.

Therefore, in the coming days, studying abroad will still be an important way for Chinese students to further their studies.
