Taking college entrance exam again
To study at elite Chinese institutions such as Peking University and Tsinghua University is the dream of many students taking the upcoming annual national college entrance examination. But two young people spurned that chance, when they discovered it wasn't quite what they expected.
Two years ago, Zou Yingjie and Wang Chenqi, both from Wuhan, in Hubei province, dropped out of Peking University and Tsinghua University, respectively, after they found that they had no interest in their majors. They sat the college entrance examinations again last year and later were admitted to Peking University to pursue new majors.
Taking the college entrance exam again is by no means new for under performing students. But Zou and Wang's actions have drawn both criticism and praise from the Chinese public.
