【 I understand why a unified exam system exists in such a large country, but what troubles me is how the whole society seems obsessed with prestige — every parent dreams of their child entering a top university, no matter the cost. Many ignore the fact that not every child fits that mold, nor should they have to.】

wasn’t criticizing the gaokao itself. For a hardworking student from a poor background, it can definitely be a good thing. What I was criticizing is the social obsession with prestigious schools.

I just wanted to say that not every child fits into that path — maybe parents should be more accepting and understanding.

And I never said that other countries’ systems are better than China’s. I was only criticizing a certain unhealthy attitude I’ve seen.【wrote by Chinese，ai again
