Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China refers to the 2-3 frontmost rows of seats of a University lecture theatre. The name refers to the fact that these seats are often occupied by East Asian students, who are stereotyped to be keeners when it comes to school.
This term was originally invented by medical students, but can be applied to any University course taken by Asian keeners.
