🚨 Breaking News: World’s Toughest Exam Begins with Historic Turnout
China’s infamous college entrance exam, the gaokao, started today with a jaw-dropping 13.42 million candidates – up by 510,000 from 2023! 🚀 This year’s test isn’t just bigger; it’s also breaking barriers for inclusivity.
💡 Local governments have gone full superhero mode: free transport, quiet zones, medical teams, and accommodations to help students focus. Even cooler? Over 11,000 students with disabilities got tailored support, from Braille papers for 15 visually impaired test-takers to accessible venues. Talk about leveling the playing field! ♿
📚 Fun fact: This is Year 11 of China’s Braille exam initiative, which has already helped 80+ visually impaired scholars enter top universities like Shanghai Normal and Beijing Jiaotong. 💪
Why It Matters 🌟
The gaokao isn’t just a test – it’s a cultural phenomenon shaping futures. With 3 days of grueling exams covering everything from math to Marxist theory, this rite of passage could determine careers, family pride, and even viral TikTok rants later. 😅
