Hype over top exam scorers not healthy

Every year when the national college entrance exams finish, the top scorers always become one of the hottest topic of the summer, with sweeping media hype publicizing the success of these top scorers. Comments:

Excessive attention to the success of the top scorers in the national college entrance exam has long been criticized, yet still it exists. Together with the media, some local governments and education departments help foster the fuss so they can brag about their performance. Worse, schools with quality education resources, in order to maintain their advantages, tend to be intentionally or unintentionally cooperative with the media when it comes to these reports.
