Tips

culture

Carries connotations well beyond academic results — a 好学生 is obedient, follows rules, and meets teacher and parent expectations. The opposite is 差生 (poor student) or the more neutral 后进生 (lagging student). The label is a recurring theme in Chinese YA novels and TV dramas about school pressure.
