Although children growing up in the countryside are often generous and honest, as a result of today's highly competitive social pattern, to be born and raised in the urban is still better for 3 main reasons.
First of all, because of unequal civilization between urban and rural area in my country, children studying in the capital city have much more advantages in their education facilities and opportunities to study further. One of the apparent example is university entrance examination which all students have to compete for only limited positions. Learning in a large number of private institutions for examination preparation located in the capital city, urban students can often make more scores in the examination, compared to poor rural students.
Secondly, it is generally believed that children in the urban area has better health due to efficient medical services and facilities. Since they were born, proper vaccination program including extra-curricular vaccines such as influenza and hepatitis B vaccine is offered sufficiently. In addition, whenever they are sick their parents can easily bring them to the nearby hospital which has adequate medical equipment.
Finally, most of the prestige institutions are situated in the capital city, so students from far provinces have to live in the dormitory instead of feeling warm when livng with their families. As a result, they have to suffer a lot due to loneliness and depression. Although some of them are able to deal with those feelings, there are still a lot of them discouraged and gloomy. Certainly, those affects their study and eventually their future.
To sum up, I don't assent to growing up in the countryside which is better than the urban area because they would lack a chance to have better education, proper medical service and be lonely disturbing their education.
