Gaokao

Gaokao, the most important national examination for every student in China, just finished three days ago. Every year, an audience of millions students participate in the examination, which could change their destiny, thought by parents and students, especially in the countryside.
We spent over 12 years learning Chinese, maths, English, and in the last year, choosing one subject from histrory, chemistry, biology, geography and physics, and just for the 2 days examination. Also, the parents are putting their expection on their children, because they want their children to have a bright future through Gaokao, especially under one-child policy.
However, I don’t think Gaokao is the only way to be successful in our whole life. Nowadays, we can accept education from multiple channels and have a good job through one’s hard work, and of course, the opportunity is also important. Try best to pass Gaokao, but don’t be depressed even though you would fail in Gaokao. Pull yourself altogether and life gets in the way.

Gaokao

Gaokao, the most important national examination for every student in China, just finished three days ago. Every year, an audience of millions of students participate in the examination, which could change their destiny, thought by parents and students, especially in the countryside.
High school students spend over 12 years learning Chinese, math, English, and in the last year, choosing one subject from history, chemistry, biology, geography and physics, and just for the 2-day examination. Also, the parents put their expectations on their children, because they want their children to have a bright future through Gaokao, especially under the one-child policy.
However, I don’t think Gaokao is the only way to be successful in our whole life. Nowadays, we can accept education from multiple channels and have a good job through one’s hard work, and of course, opportunity is also important. So try your best to pass the Gaokao, but don’t be depressed even if you fail it. Pull yourself together and life goes one.

Life gets in the way:  normal life prevented you from doing sth.
