Also, I like that the kids are just average kids plucked from Beijing schools.
While it might not be true in practice, it's a lovely nod to the (supposedly) egalitarian nature of Chinese communist society. (I've always said that communism is a nice theory; the problem is that it goes hand in hand with totalitarian governments.)
Or, it could be a nod to China's egalitarian past, when anyone could advance, say, to bureaucracy through education.
