After I read these two different versions of Cinderella, I found there are many similarities and differences between them. First, I will go over the common things that these two books have. They both have very similar characteristics. For example, Cinderella is always a very beautiful and nice girl. She has to do all the hard and dirty work under the discipline of bad characters. Bad characters are commonly involved in these stories. For example, Yeh-Shen had a wicked stepmother, who promoted her own child, but was very mean to her. Rhodopis, a Greek slave girl living in Egypt, had her companion servants who made fun of her appearance and kept distance from her. Second, they have both have a similar plot and theme. Both stories have a good ending toward their destiny. In both versions of Cinderella, they finally get great rewards and marry to the royalties. Third, there are always some belongings being taken away from Cinderella. Elegant dresses, shoes, and rose-red slippers often play important roles in these stories. For example, in the Chinese version of Cinderella, Yeh-shen lost the gold shoes in a huge parade. The king got the shoes and found a long way to find the right person who could fit in it. Fourth, they are all attributed to the supernatural or animals. In the Chinese version of Cinderella, Yeh-Shen was helped by the Fish spirit, and Rhodopis was helped by the falcon. Fifth, the most but not the least, they are both illustrated by beautiful colors and textures to describe the story of Cinderella. This is especially true in the story of the Egyptian Cinderella, which presents great details of life in ancient Egypt. Certainly, there are also some differences between these two books. The Egyptian Cinderella was based on a true story of ancient Egypt to some extent .This is unlike other fairy tales, which use a lot of imagination. In the history of ancient Egypt, Rhodopis did marry to the King Pharaoh Amasis. Furthermore, there is no punishment to bad characters in the Egyptian version of Cinderella.
I like the Chinese version of Cinderella better because it originated from China. I have heard this type of story a long time ago. It has some sort of traditional Chinese culture values and elements inside the story as well. In addition, it was illustrated by Ed.Young whom I have very strong respect for. To conclude, no matter whether they are western or eastern versions of Cinderella, they all tell the great fairy tales that we like. One thing I have learned from these fairy tales is that we need to be optimistic when we encounter problems in our life. The final outcome will turn out great if we try very hard towards our goals and make it happen.

德国教育制度我就不知道。
但中国教育制度我还是略知一二的
中国的教育制度是应试教育。简单来就是：
为了考试而读书，而不是为了知识或真理而读书。
学校是以分论人。以分取人。
试问这样我们能学到一点真才实学吗？

1. Berufsfachschule 是最基础的职业教育，入学时不要求有相关工作经历或教育经历。为全日制，学习时间根据职业的不同而异，最少一年，最多3年，一般为2年。由于多方面的原因（主要是毕业后的出路和证书问题），此类学校现在的数量越来越少。专业上主要有酒店管理、经济、技工等；个别学校开始尝试社会科学（心理学、幼儿教育等），但有争议。毕业生拿到 Sekundarstufe 1 （类似初中毕业）证书，很多专业甚至不颁发证书。
2. Fachschule 不再是最基础的职业教育，而是高一个等级，在教育部的分类中属于 weitere Berufsausbildung。入学要求：至少有2年的相关职业学习或工作经历。有全日制的，也有非全日制的，学习时间在1-2年，分2学期、3学期和4学期三种。开设专业上，除了上述 1 中所列专业，社科类也是常设科目。毕业生拿中级学校毕业证书（mittlerer Schulabschluss），证书分三种大专业类型：语言类、数学类（自然科学）、社会科学类。
3. Berufsoberschule 是指在拿到了上述 2 里所说的 Fachschule 毕业证之后才能读的职业学校，从BOS11年级开始，到BOS13年级结束。此类学校现在正在经历很有意思的改革，例如12年级时与FOS挂钩（如果上到这时毕业，相当于FOS毕业），13年级时则与Gymnasium等同，拿到进入专业大学的资格（Hochschulreife）。另外，12年级时开二外。
4. 本来Fachoberschule只有11和12年级，FOS13是从2004年冬季学期才开始实行的，现在仅在巴伐利亚和北威州推行。FOS13毕业后，拿到和Gymnasiu等同的Abitur，有进入专业或普通大学的资格。
5. Berufsaufbauschule 现在很少见了，学制只有1年，要求有相关工作经历，毕业证书同上述1中的 Sekundarstufe 1。专业以艺术、音乐等为主。
6. Kolleg属于成人教育范畴，一般是3年，现在也有2年的，拿到的证书相当于Abitur，可以以此进入技术性大学学习。
7. Berufskolleg属于正常学校教育，各类中学生10年级开始可以选择读此类学校，一般为3年学习时间，专业一般是外语、设计等热门专业，毕业证书相当于 Gymnasium的Abitur，可以依次进入专业或普通大学。
8. Berufsgymnasium只是一个统称，真正的学校名称一般会只限定一个专业，例如 Wirtschaftsgymnasium。这是最新和最受欢迎的一种学校形式，就业和升学的前景较好。入学要求是Realschule, Berufsaufbauschule, Berufsfachschule毕业，分数至少3.0，或读完了一般Gymnasium10年级。毕业拿到Abitur，有进入技术或普通大学的资格。
