I've been exhausted to death lately, constantly busy with my studies. Tomorrow is the college entrance exam (Gaokao)! Wish me luck!
Quotes from Chinese leader Xi Jinping have been used as essay prompts in the country’s highly competitive university entrance exams, known as gaokao, for the first time.
China’s National College Entrance Examination, or “Gaokao”, can be said to be an army of thousands of men trying to cross a single-log bridge. Some arrive at a bright future, others fall off to the dark abyss. Well, not necessarily in reality, (personally, my journey abraod only started after the failure of Gaokao) but it feels that way for lots of students. After all, they’ve been prepared for 12 years, and they have to prove themselves in two days. By now, students should have all finished their exams this year. Before knowing the results, it’s time to let off the steam. Travel, karaoke, video games, anything that would help release their emotions and celebrate the end of the pressure. I still remember the day I finished my exams, many years ago. For a moment I didn’t know what to do. Gaokao had taken such a big portion of my life that suddenly nothing remains but an empty space. The exams finished but life went on. The end of Gaokao was only the beginning of a journey that was much harder than school, because there was no longer a goal set for me, and no one would told me the “right answers” anymore. The answer to life—I had to search for myself. #gaokao #collegeentranceexamination #chineseculture #education #chinesestudents #sliceoflife #webcomic #tinyeyescomics https://www.instagram.com/p/Byc06JJiiOK/?igshid=w15h57ou8ixx

Created by a pair of developers from China called Octopus Play, the game titled “Chinese Parents” puts gamers in the role of a Chinese boy trying to fulfill his parents’ expectations while growing up.
