The Li Jiajun family recently moved from Nottingham to London with the hope of him having the opportunity to study at university in London.

“Wow! I got an offer from LSE!”

Earlier this summer, 17-year-old Hong Kong student Li Jiajun screamed at his home in Nottingham after learning that he had been offered a conditional offer to the law department at the University of London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

After receiving the result of reading at night with the lights on, he, who has always been rational and calm, showed a rare excitement like a child. He told his mother immediately, adding that “I was screaming so loudly”.

However, coming from a grass-roots single-parent family, he is afraid that because he cannot pay the high tuition fees for international students, he will helplessly watch the dream of admission in September come to nothing.
