The GaoKao( college entrance examination) of Adults had just finished in China yesterday.
The number of candidate in QingDao has been up to 54902, which is much larger that it last year. "The paper was too easy than I thought before!" A candidate said this for responsible of the examination this year.
In China, GaoKao is a big event every year. During that time. if a family has a candidate, it will be the busiest days in the lifetime and will be never forgot. All the people will treat candidate so well no matter if they know you; the taix is free for candidate and their families on these days; Any candidate who has no car to take part in the exam, a lot of other people are waiting for pick them there; if some candidates are late for exam, they just need to make their emergency lights on and others will make room for them at any time; A lot of companies offer free drink, free food, free umbrellas, free chairs, free bue for rest for candidates and their families outside the gate of examination hall; almost all the society are watching candidates these days, they are main characters.
Look at the pictures above, there is a little piece of island on the masses of logs. That is the true phenomenon in China nowadays. With so few good colleges and so many students each year, everyone hopes to get into these most wonderful colleges. The challenge and pressure cannot be imagined in thought. However, to some extent, it is really a meaningful experience for students. When you stay up into midnight and sleep just few hours everyday, have 14 hours classes each day, even do not see sun for weeks, face up with textbooks and workbooks like a sea, do not move and even sacrifice the time to restroom....... That is GaoKao. If you have this kind of even, what are you afraid?
However, there are lots of disadvantages generated by GaoKao. With the huge pressure, so many students in China have a very bad healthy because of the lack of exercise and sports. A lot of students only study and care about nothing around them, so they become selfish and silent and do not want to speak to anyone.
Since there are always two sides to every coin and we cannot choose fish and meat together. Just be aware of what you have done and what you will do, that will be enough.

I like your passage. It's vivid. you remind me of my GaoKao. It's unforgetable day and memory. I was failed to enter into an excellent university. I was disappointed at that time because my highschool is also famous in Jilin province, it can be said that it is number one.I have a hesitation with my future, choose to study another year or go to a normal university. I choose the latter. I think there is another sky waiting for me to fly. so today we can meet each other in America.
Actually, I think it is hard for me to describe my feeling after I went through your artical. First of all, I felt a little bit lucky that I haven't taken part in GaoKao. However, I recongized that's will be one of the most defects in my life. Whatever, I am going to stand on my feet to face a lot of problems bumping into me.
Lee, come on, I know you will find your own way and keep on doing it.
Joun, you have experienced a lot in America which, to some extent, are more meaningful than GaoKao.
You can do it!
I won't remember the experience of Gaokao, which is also called College Entrance Examination. In our high school time, we work very hard everyday in order to have a high marks in the final exam. Some people think , as a Chinese, if you never attend the Gaokao, your life is not exciting enough. I don't hate it , because it taught me a lot and made me grow up!
I feel a little bit regret that I did not experience this test curriculum. It sounds a special procedure for me to think about for entering the universities in China. However, I suffered from the Canadian Provincial Exams which brought me lots of trouble during grade 12. I really hate that, but I still think this is better than the Chinese one.
I like your article. It brings me lots of thoughts.
When we were preparing for the exam for several months. We were working hard every day, and doing myriad of exercise. We concentrated in preparing for the exam. We tried our best to survive though the "battle".
At the same time, not only our family and our relatives give us hopes, but also the society pays more attention on the students who are going to take the exam. The students are the focus in the society, even the whole country. We should try our best to contribute to the society, not disappointing the people who give us help.
Now, we are here, in the USA. We still need to study hard to make China more prosper in the future.
