A series Of Issue After The Chinese College Entrance Examination

Up to the evening yesterday when the students, 9.12 million, stepped out of the sites, it seemed all had been over. But in fact they must face another new beginning of a series of issue.

Most of the students would like to slip all books they had read to pieces, or sell them out as soon as possible. In their mind the books bring them the nightmare, they even think the books are the nightmare, once they slip up or sell out them, they can get rid of the serious nightmare and breath the fresh freely as possible as they can.

But the fact is, from the minute of finishing the examination to the date of publishing the score they have to bear a lot of pressure. They feel anxious, scared of anything. They hate to meet relations, friends, even they dislike to talk anything about the examination with the parents. They become sensitive to anything or any question related to the examination.

The above just refers to the students. In fact, there are some problems with their parents and their families. Before the examination anything must obey to the examination, in other word, the examination forces themselves to keep harmony.  For example,  if the family happed a worse disaster, they all keep it as confidential to the students, even the closest relations were dead, they never tell the students what had happed until they finish the examination. And There have been a serious gap between the parents, and the gap must lead to break the marriage, "divorce" I mean, but they must keep the harmony in the family as possible as they can not to affect the students' emotions. In consequence, the students will have to bear many problems from the changed or changing family and themselves.

And the official data show it is at the high divorce rate after the college entrance examination....

But I hope all families can be happy together and the students can become stronger to face up to anything what will happen and had happened.

Now it is raining, please enjoy the cool weather, forget all things happened in the examination, breath the fresh, keep inner peace, you have made your dreams come true. Yes, I believe.

My Best wished to all students; And thanks to all parents for their selfless love.

Chinese College Entrance Examination

Today it is very important and serious day for 9.12 million senior high school students, because they will take part in the college entrance examination. When do you know the news, especially knowing the number of people of taking part in the examination, how do you think of it? Does it like the giant troops or other anything like that?


Every year it would be of sticky Summer Weather; and the giant pressure from their family, from their own and from the future, mixes the bad weather so this examination seems a blooding war, Because just a little of students can win the war and enter the ideal colleges.

In China this examination must be the most important to every student who wants to enter a good university, because this unique examination will determine their future, so they seem to have no other choice in most Chinese thinking style, other than to win the war. The parents hope their children can get a good score to have the right to choose their ideal universities, but in fact, only the parents have the right of choosing the university or major, the students just are the weapon to win the war.


 Every year, it will happen 7 and 8, June. During the examination, the related parents will be over 15 million. The parents will ask for leave from offices to accompany their children. And the road near examination sites will be controlled by the policy; the car is forbidden to make any noise. The whole society focuses on the important examination in china.




Every year there are some students who can not be allowed to enter the site because they are late. The parents will take Chinese special measure to beg the guarders – going down on their knees. But any gamer must obey the rule. Then the students will lose the score of the course, even though they will give this chance up.



After entering senior high school in china the students must take 9 courses. But when it is the second year, the students can choose their interest to separate the arts from science classes.

Then they will take 6 courses including three same courses, such as Chinese, English and Math. When they take part in the examination, the education government will arrange different test papers.



 In fact i had taken part in this kind of examination 7 years ago, during that examination I have witnessed what had happened. Now I would like to write them down and share it with all my foreign friends.

Chinese Beekeepers

This is my first time to closely watch the site of Chinese  beekeepers. And it is my first time to chat with the old beekeeper with about 40 years' experience.
This afternoon we chatted a lot about his experience including his happiness and sufferings. In Chinese there is a word figuring him, which is the old Jianghu meaning he has many stories about his life of keeping bee.
I admire his life with freedom. Every year he will go through from South China to North China about several thousands of kilometers. When I ask whether he is tired of the long distance movement, the answer is that it is a kind of pleasure. At the same time, I watch his happiness from his eyes.
He told me if the weather is good enough, the profit will be better, but if it suffers the serious windy, rainy and cold day, the risk will be raised, even though he will lose a lot as well. For example, during the winter he will stay at home, then in order to keep the bee, he has to buy the sugar for them. And he owns 100 boxes of bees, he said, and the cost will be at 30 thousand RMB throughout the winter.
For all i know, the government has issued the related policy for the beekeeper to afford some capital to help them in the winter. But he said he never got anything from the government.
When talking about the gains in the site, he said he had to take some lose because of the bad weather recently. But In the evening he will go to another site with the blooming flowers and expect he will have a good harvest.
My best wishes to him forever. Good luck, old guy. See you next season of blooming flowers.
