I currently live in Beijing, I’ve studied here for the past 8 years.
One morning during this year’s “gaokao” a mother was hit by a car while she was accompanying her daughter to the test center. The mother fell into a coma and lost a lot of blood. And yet everybody encouraged the daughter to go take the test instead of accompanying her mother to the hospital.
This was in the news and everything.
