The 56-year-old Chinese man who failed the college entrance examination for the 27th time has not yet given up
(Agence France-Presse, Beijing, 26th) Liang Shi, known as the “China’s college entrance examination nail household”, is 56 years old. He has repeatedly failed and failed to take the college entrance examination in the past few decades. He has taken the exam 27 times this year and still failed. Doubting whether he can still get into his dream university, he still decides to fight again next year.
Liang Shi is a self-made rich man. Over the past 40 years, he has passed 27 college entrance examinations, in order to be admitted to the top Sichuan University to fulfill his ambition of becoming an “intellectual”.
Judging from most social standards, Liang Shi’s life can be called a success. It is not difficult for him to earn millions of RMB from a low-level factory employee step by step, and finally set up his own building materials company. Unforgettable college dream.
In order to achieve a prestigious higher education, he studied for 12 hours a day, quit playing mahjong and drinking alcohol, and endured the media’s ridicule of him as “a nail in the college entrance examination” and doubts on the Internet that he was putting on a show.
Although he lived an ascetic life for several months, his total score of the college entrance examination this year was 424 points, which is 34 points away from the second line of ordinary universities. One refers to the national key universities in mainland China, and the other refers to ordinary universities, each with a minimum threshold score.
He told Agence France-Presse in an interview: “Before I learned the results, I already knew that I would not be able to reach the first line, but I didn’t expect that I would not even be able to reach the second line.”
Liang Shi started to register for the college entrance examination in 1983. In 2018, the highest score was 469. At that time, the second line of science in Sichuan was 458 points, and the first line was 546 points. But the results were not satisfactory until 2021. Liang Shi began to choose liberal arts in 2022. Unexpectedly, his score of 428 was still lower than the 38 points of the second line of liberal arts. However, he still felt that his fate with Sichuan University was not over, so he decided to fight again.
The results of the 2023 college entrance examination are released. Liang Shi once stated that if he can enter a satisfactory second-tier university this year, he will go to study. Unexpectedly, he still failed the ranking with a total score of 424 points, even a slight drop from last year.
If it had been in the past, failing the rankings would not hinder Liang Shi’s determination to make persistent efforts. Every time he failed the rankings, he vowed to come back next year; but this time he couldn’t help wondering if hard work would never bear fruit.
He said wearily, “If you really can’t see any hope of progress, you won’t have the motivation to continue the exam. I really work hard every day. It’s hard to say whether I will continue to prepare for the college entrance examination next year.” It was the first time in decades.
However, life is suddenly cut off from preparing for the exam, which is still unimaginable for Liang Shi who has been taking the exam for so many years.
He said thoughtfully: “Although it is a difficult decision, I have no intention of giving up. If I just give up and stop taking the exam, every sip of tea I drink for the rest of my life will be a taste of regret.”
