Comments：
New Oriental was originally an educational institution and gradually innovated and developed with its unique vision and ideas and established a “New Oriental Education Dynasty”. Objectively speaking, New Oriental’s success has taken advantage of the increase in national surplus assets since the reform and opening up and the country’s increased demand for contact with the outside world. It does reflect the educational philosophy of the vast middle and lower classes of China formed at that time due to economic growth and improved living conditions: the transformation from “stocking” to “custodial”. At the same time, New Oriental’s successful model provides a template for the development of various educational institutions in the market, laying a solid foundation for the formation of China’s unique education system—school/institutional education system, and also for the Ministry of Education to carry out education reform and policy design Provide guidance. Objectively speaking, the original educational structure of New Oriental focused on foreign languages, which itself was aimed at the middle class, and trained many foreign language talents for China in the early 21st century. Since then, with the development of the group, New Oriental has gradually introduced other education modules and transformed them into a comprehensive education group. During this period, the scale of New Oriental has grown tremendously. However, due to lack of careful reflection and adjustment, this kind of corporate and profitable expansion of the institutional education system has had a negative impact on the orthodox school education system promoted by the government and even made the government feel threatened. This is the foreshadowing of the fall of New Oriental.
