CHEN CHUNXIU was applying to join an adult-education programme when she discovered, to her surprise, that she already had a degree. The 36-year-old kindergarten teacher from Shandong province had left formal education in 2004 after taking the, China’s fearsome university-entrance exam. Though she had attained a respectable score, she had failed to secure a place.
But the exam is marred not only by dirty tricks such as the one that denied Ms Chen her place. The odds are also stacked against people in the countryside. Much less money is spent on rural schools than urban ones. Many of their pupils drop out long before they have a chance to take the. Even rural residents who do well in the exam are disadvantaged. China’s good universities are clustered in rich cities, and are allowed to offer a disproportionate number of places to pupils who live nearby.
I remember the year when I took the entrance examination towards college when the SARS was spreading within China for a lot of parts of China. Now the coronavirus is much easier to spread from person to person and if one student in the room gets infected, the whole room will be.
New away to show China as bad actor. Keep ruining the world. Keep promoting sinophobia.

That exam once a year is the only chance for many poor students to change their lives.
