A survey conducted by the Hong Kong Institute of Education found that Chinese students in Hong Kong were much more unhappy with life compared to their South Asian classmates.
According to the study, 90 percent of South Asian students in Hong Kong interviewed were religious, were highly satisfied with their living environment, school, friends, family and themselves. The Institute believes that this could be due to greater family kinship, ethnic support and community and social networks.
On the other hand Hong Kong students are less satisfied with different aspects of their life including living environment and family, which the Institute belives is because parents have forced and pressured children into achieving good academic grades. The survey found that mainland immigrant students were the most unhappy, reports the RTHK.
