I feel so sad and sometimes feel bad. Why I was born in China. I feel I can hardly get along with a group of Chinese who are neither emotionally nor inclusive. You know very little about the darkness of China as a foreigner. In the minds of foreigners, Chinese people often appear as warm and hospitable. However, in fact, every Chinese is cautiously guarding against other Chinese people, both indifferent and selfish. Chinese fakes, fraud messages, and scammers are everywhere. This is due in large part to the fact that many Chinese people’s wages are hovering around the minimum wage set by the government. This is not a joke. Many Chinese people’s wages are even lower than the government’s minimum wage.
The monthly mart convenience store clerk in Hangzhou, China, has a monthly salary of about $640. Employers require employees to work 10 hours a day and they have to take turns overnight. These employees are even deducted by $30 for various minor mistakes. Although the labor law stipulates that the employer should not impose fines on the employee if he does not cause any loss to the employer, wage penalties and probationary periods with no pay or low wages are widespread in China. Oh, yes, the probationary salary for convenience store clerk is $470. The lowest price in Hangzhou has exceeded 3,200 US dollars per square meter.
I plan to work abroad and apply for a visa to make money to study in Europe. What can I do to apply for a work visa to a developed country?

'Chinese people often appear as warm and hospitable' - I'm not sure this is the default view; people in other countries are aware of some of China's less friendly policies for its citizens.
Every country in the world has their own visa requirements. You need to pick a country, and look. It would help for you to speak the language of that country fluently, and have a STEM masters degree.
Get your degree first, preferably a STEM major will get you a better chance to find a job and settle in developed countries. If you really like it, go to grad school will give you a better chance of finding a good job than an undergraduate degree. Eventually, after a long and tedious process you could be neutralised and become the citizen of that country.
A side note, do not expect the foreigners to be less fake or kinder than your own people, you will be disappointed in them at some point during your life there. They WILL single you out, and be mean to you. As to the wages, you will get a wage that is significantly lower than their citizens. This will continue even if you eventually become the citizen of their country, and they will not view you as their country's citizen. (there is a term called "Bamboo celling") In their view, you are always an asian or Chinese person, despite your citizenship.
In a gist, do not expect too much when you move there. It is more likely that you will be disappointed after a few months. (like socially, etc) But, do not give up on trying to move there either. After all, Life is all about experiencing different things. You have to decide what suits you better.
You study FIRST. You get your degrees. THEN you find an employer who needs your PhD in engineering or a hard science. The employer will sponsor you for a work visa.
You don't apply for a work visa in Europe, employers apply for them and only for specialist jobs which the people are in short supply, so for a start you need a high level STEM degree and years of work experience with a STEM employer, only then are you at the starting point of looking for a job with an employer registered to apply for a work visa once they find the right person for that job
