    Gaokao is a nightmare. As the clock ticks closer and closer, all you hear is this word, ringing in your head, like everyone’s possessed. If you mess up in the slightest you could drop down tens of hundreds of rankings. From dawn to dust you do practice paper after practice paper, with no life, no extracurriculars, no nothing except eat sleep and study. My sister messed up on the gaokao and had to settle for a local college. It broke my family’s and her heart(she got FULL marks in zhongkao, which is like half the gaokao). My brother too, I recall in a period of time he had severe depression from scoring badly and almost offed himself. Gaokao is not a joke.

      I mean... its not even that difficult. It could be a God asking a human if they are tired in their journey to achieve their dreams,and the human says no cuz cuz they have a lot fire left in them to achieve their dreams, and then you can base the essay on human strength and resilience is a testimony against the challenges of life. Now i havent given the gaokao and dont know the pattern so maybe I got it all wrong (I am suppsoing its a subjective type promot and you can lead it in any direction you want) so if i am wrong, dont hate on me.

    I took one week to passively analyze the question, and I have the solution for the essay prompt from 2013, and it is correct for two reasons. The thing that flies upward based on the Chinese point of view is the People's Republic of China which is C0mun*$t; the Chinese government thinks that their country and economy always goes up. When questioned by the of voice of the more reasonable and capitalistic United States if they are ever tired of growing at the expense of their own people, the Chinese government answers, no. The second reason for which it must be correct is that if the Gaokao organizers reject this statement, when the government of China finds out about this, they will have the organizers arrested for perjury of national pride or else.

  • @AhmedINFINITE
    @AhmedINFINITE Месяц назад +2

    Question: It flies upwards and when a voice asks if it is tired it says “no”
    Ans:I think the answer is the “SOUL” of a person.
    Reason?
    Well after a person’s death he/she are often referred to as “RIP” Rest In Peace.
    Here since the soul of a person is expected to go to heaven an angel(for eg.) may ask if it is tired and the obvious answer we get is “No”(since the person is in peace).
    I don’t know what other’s perspective is but in my view I find this a suitable answer.
    Thanks
