>BTW: you have very little chance to be able to get married without a property under your name in China.
This is exaggerated. I've only seen such thing on news or from rumors. But in real life, a lot of my friends, classmates and colleges (both male and female) got married without owning a property.
>Primary/secondary education in China is very, very cruel
How can education be cruel? You may say it's hard or ineffective, but cruel?? What happened to you in your child life?
