BEIJING: Among the millions of fresh-faced high schoolers sitting in China's dreaded"gaokao" college entrance exam on Wednesday , Liang Shi sticks out like a sore thumb - a grey-haired, self-made millionaire stubbornly taking the test for the 27th time.
But one dream has always eluded him: Getting a high enough score on the notoriously gruelling gaokao to study at the top-tier Sichuan University. Over the past four decades, the Sichuan native has taken the gaokao 26 times but has consistently failed to get the required result to send him to his chosen university.
For students, a good gaokao result can decide one's life trajectory, with a degree from an elite university conferring respect, status and better job opportunities.He kept trying to boost his score for the next decade until he had to give up in 1992, as the test at that time was restricted to single people aged under 25.
