But there’s one goal he hasn’t yet achieved, though not for lack of trying: getting a good enough score on China’s college entrance exam to enter a top university. Liang took the grueling two-day exam, known as the “gaokao,” in early June alongside nearly 13 million students nationwide. It marked his 27th time taking the gaokao, having been unsatisfied with his score each time since he first sat the exam 40 years ago.
Then in 2001, the government scrapped the age limit for the test, allowing him to resume – sporadically at first, then with stubborn consistency. He has now taken the gaokao every year since 2010. He had worked hard this past year, leaving home at 8 a.m. to study at a friend’s tea house and not returning home until late at night, according to China Daily. He’d even accepted that Sichuan University might be out of reach, deciding to attend any “key university” that would accept him.
