Chinese students flee Hong Kong as campuses burn

SHENZHEN/HONG KONG - Having fled Hong Kong universities they had thought were a ticket to success, Chinese students from the mainland sit in hostels and noodle shops in the neighboring city of Shenzhen wondering how they’ll complete their studies.

“It’s really just not safe any more and I don’t see it getting any better,” said one twentysomething student leaning on a suitcase outside a restaurant in Shenzhen, which abuts Hong Kong. Before anti-government protests erupted in Hong Kong more than five months ago, there were some 12,000 students among more than one million mainland Chinese living in Hong Kong, according to official figures.

Peking University HSBC EMBA’s student association said it would host some students from Hong Kong so they could continue studies near a Shenzhen university campus with up to seven days accommodation for free. With three universities ranked in the top 100 of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, it has the same number as mainland China.“If the whole semester is canceled they have no reason to go back to Hong Kong,” said one mainland Chinese woman, who works in public relations in Hong Kong and had volunteered to help the fleeing students, as she shepherded three nervous looking girls to dinner in Shenzhen.“As long as I stay home during clashes and don’t violate laws and protest-taboos.
