"Mr. Feng, I went to a five-year private university. The tuition was 65,000 US dollars a year, and that's just for tuition. Living expenses were separate."
"Over five years, the tuition alone came out to nearly 325,000 US dollars."
"On top of that, there were textbook costs and all sorts of miscellaneous academic fees. Adding all those up, the total was already over 400,000 US dollars."
"And with the loan interest, the number just snowballed, getting bigger and bigger, until it became the more than 500,000 US dollars I owe now."
"You couldn't buy used textbooks?"
Feng Shan frowned, completely shocked by the exorbitant costs Mova was describing.
He was also puzzled about the textbook situation.
'They're just books. What are they, made of gold? How could they cost tens of thousands of dollars?'
