Firsthand Experience — Made in China

If determination and stamina can transform these students—many from the rural and farming sections of China—into first-class practitioners, then the world should stand up and take notice. First of all, they are in school for two 20-week semesters; classes are held seven days a week. They live in unheated and uncooled dormitories with no hot water. During the winter months, they attend classes in unheated buildings. During the summer, when temperatures hit 105°, their dorms and classrooms have no A/C.
