Where there are advantages, there will always be disadvantages. Actor Lu Yi has been trying to create an ordinary life for his daughter who goes to a public kindergarten in Shanghai. If he is off work, Lu picks her up after school and joins in parent-children activities held by the kindergarten. "I know the parents of my daughter's classmates and we talk about education sometimes." Lu told reporters. "My wife and I chose to give birth to our daughter in China because we did not think that she had to go to an international school. We hope she would grow up in China. She does not need to think of studying overseas until she goes to college."

When talking about their children, celebrities, like ordinary parents, want to offer their kids the best life possible. No matter where they choose to bring their babies into the world, it is not about patriotism. It's about parental love.
