Taiwan students flock to mainland colleges

Brighter job prospects and a stronger economy have sparked a surge in applications from residents of the island, as Zhang Yi and Luo Wangshu report.

In April, Yin Min-chi, a sophomore at Tsinghua University in Beijing who comes from Taiwan, spent five days showing a group of high school graduates from the island around the university campus and China's capital.

In 2016, Yin was a member of a similar tour group. As a prospective student with an outstanding academic record, she was taken on the tour by some senior students. Two years later, she is the tour guide, sharing her experiences with prospective newcomers.
