In 1989, he went to Stanford University to study for a doctorate. In 1989, she went to the United States to study, entered the doctoral program of Education Department of Stanford University, and gave birth to her second son there. She was awarded Ph.D. by investigating the situation of graduates of Tokyo University and Stanford University in Japan ten years later, and the difference between the treatment of men and women in Japan and the United States.

Chen Meiling said: "in fact, the reason why she decided to study for a doctorate that year was that she encountered some speech attacks in Japan that were hard to get rid of." In December 1988, many Japanese magazines were arguing about whether Chen Meiling should take her children to work in the TV station? At that time, in order to feed her children, Chen Meiling carried her son and led the nanny to work.

Chen Meiling recalled that there are still many complaints. "People who oppose my action say: Chen Meiling is too greedy. She has to work, get married and have children. How is that possible?" she said? I was really angry, but I didn't know how to argue with them. Because, in Hong Kong, my predecessors all married, had children and worked like this? However, in Japan, they think it is an incredible thing. I couldn't swallow this breath. In a fit of anger, I took my eldest son the next year and flew to Stanford University to study for a doctor with my second son in my stomach. "

Having seen Japan in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, Chen Meiling is still very dissatisfied with Japan's pace of internationalization. "Japanese women are constantly striving for change and freedom, but men are not cooperative," she said. Nowadays, the economy is bad, and men can't support their families by themselves, so they can let women go out to work. However, many of these Japanese men do not consider that women are carrying children behind their backs and seldom help women with housework. Nowadays, many Japanese women don't get married at all. "

Just as she held a guitar in school in the 1970s and sang many songs reflecting social reality, now she often speaks for some female groups on the stage of life in Japan.

Chen Meiling is easy to learn. Singing has not affected her further study. At the age of 20, she went to Canada to complete her university degree
