  ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on the cross-cultural adaptation and culture shock experienced by overseas Chinese students. By defining core concepts, it reviews the current status and gaps in research on cross-cultural adaptation among international students, analyzes the manifestations and core causes of culture shock in Chinese students at different stages. Combining empirical analysis, it compares the effectiveness of active and passive adaptation strategies, evaluates their efficacy, and puts forward specific suggestions. The study finds that culture shock is an inevitable stage in cross-cultural adaptation, and active responses can significantly shorten the crisis period. Universities, families, and individuals need to collaborate to enhance adaptation efficiency.
