Katie Qi, 24-year-old, felt so stressed and depressed that she could not fall asleep at night after returning home from a one-year master's program in the UK in October.
24岁的Katie Qi今年10月份从英国一项一年期硕士项目毕业回国，但是她感到非常压抑和沮丧，以至于晚上根本不能入眠。
The cause of negative emotions for Qi was clearly related to her difficulty looking for a job.
造成Qi负面情绪的原因很明显是和她在找工作过程中的困难有关。
She thought that as an overseas returnee, she would get a good job easily, but her reality experience over the past two months was much different.
她一度认为，作为一名海归会很容易就找到一份好工作，但是她过去两个月的真实经历却与此大相径庭。
She went to countless job fairs in Beijing, but always ended up either being directly turned down or only offered a starting salary that was much lower than her expectations.
她在北京参加了无数场招聘会，但最终结果不是被直接拒绝，就是只能提供一个比她预期低得多的起薪。
"Many of the employers told me that they preferred domestic graduates," she said. "I felt a little marginalized."
她说道：“许多用人单位都告诉我说，他们更青睐国内的学生，我感觉我有点被边缘化了。”

As graduation season approaches, many haigui (Chinese graduates from overseas universities) like Qi, will face unexpected pressures when job hunting, which is one of the major factors that trigger mental problems, said Zhang Wen, a Beijing-based psychologist.
据一位来自北京、名叫张文的心理学家表示，随着毕业季临近，很多像Qi一样的海归（从海外大学毕业的中国学生）在找工作时会面临意想不到的压力，这是引发他们心理问题的主要因素之一。
As the number of returnees increase, the mounting professional pressure is becoming a problem for more and more job seekers.
随着海归人数的增加，更大的就业压力正在成为越来越多求职者所面临的一个问题。
Figures from the official website of China's Ministry of Education showed the number of overseas Chinese students who returned in 2015 was 12 percent higher than the previous year.
据中国教育部官网的数据显示，2015年中国留学生归国人数比去年增长了12%。
Zhang has attended several job fairs that are held specifically for returnees and offer psychological counseling.
张文参加过几场专门为海归举行的招聘会，并为他们提供心理咨询。
She noted that returning Chinese students are prone to go through the psychological gap caused by the difference between their expectations for a decent and well-paid job and the difficulty in finding one.
张文指出，海归们都期望找到一份体面、高薪的工作，但是这一愿望又很难以实现，这之间的差异就导致海归们很容易产生一个心理落差。
She said many returning graduates who went to her for counseling expected to be offered a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan ($1,451) or even 15,000 yuan, but ended up with an average salary around 5,000 yuan.
据张文表示，许多向她咨询的归国毕业生都期望月薪超过10000万（约合1451美元）、甚至15000元，但是最终平均工资只有5000元左右。
"The psychological gaps made a large proportion of them suffer from varying degrees of anxiety and depression, as well as losing confidence and hope," she said.
她说道：“这一心理落差使得他们中许多人都患有不同程度的焦虑和抑郁，失去了信心和希望。”
Therefore, she advised returnees to consider a different way of perceiving things to give them an opportunity to be stronger mentally.
因此，张文建议海归们考虑一种不同的方式来感知事物、给自己一个精神上变得更加强大的机会。
"Rather than complaining, it is more meaningful to be positive and to actively integrate yourself back into society," she said.
她说道：“与其抱怨，更有意义的是抱着积极的心态、积极地重新融入进社会。”
