In 1983, Liang attended his first gaokao but failed. He tried again in the next two years but saw no luck.
In the same year, he was laid off. To raise his family, he worked as a salesman. He sold clothing, refrigerator, TV and hardware. Later he opened a building material factory and earned a million yuan in less than a year. His best score came in 2018 when he got 469 out of a total of 750. In 2019, he scored 462. But he didn't apply to any university because his goal was Sichuan University, a Double First-Class university.His son, who took the test in 2011 with him and has graduated with a master's degree, doesn't want him to be under the spotlight. His wife said nothing so Liang took her silence as supportive.
