Summary/Abstract: The essay is a free attempt for a refl ection on the Chinese university education. Since I spent two years as a lecturer of Bulgarian language, culture and literature in a prestigious Chinese university, here I share my personal impressions and somewhat negative experience of this either backward or very different educational system which is based on learning by heart and mechanical reproduction of already dated data. In this, I rely also on information provided by my MA student there who worked on the comparison between the Bulgarian and Chinese educational systems. For me, it was obvious that the Chinese youths feel unhappy with their system because of its examoriented high-school education and its frailty as an up-to-date university effi ciency.
