高考 madness!
The 高考, a.k.a. national college entrance exams, is about to begin. It’s the most important exam in many Chinese people’s lives. As far as I know, the college you get into is based totally on your gao kao score. This is a super-stressful time for students. Lots of kids get really freaked out, and there are suicides and stuff amongst students who don’t think they did well. I heard lots of girls actually get some sort of hormone injection this time of year to make sure they’re not having their periods during the exams.
加油, 学生! Don’t panic!
