First of all, because their educational resources from small to large are very different from those in cities. Students in cities can make up lessons after school and holidays, while children in rural areas have no chance to make up lessons, and even have to do farm work when they come home from school during holidays.
Secondly, their living environment is so different. Life in the city is prosperous and convenient, and there are all kinds of colorful activities, but children in rural areas only have land.
It is many times more difficult for children in rural areas to go to college than for children in cities. Faced with this gap, it's great that they can go to college! Even after they go to college, some people will discriminate against them, so it is very difficult for them, but it is great to stick to it.
