A mother woke her husband and 14-year-old daughter at 4am. They drove 20 kilometres across Beijing. When they arrived, over a thousand families were already waiting.
Not for a top university prep school. For a vocational college.
In this episode, Coach Tian explores what's shifting in how Chinese families think about education. Why does 高考 — China's national university entrance exam — feel like the only path for so many people? What does the country actually look like during those three exam days in June? And what does it mean that more and more parents are quietly asking: is university really the right road for my child?
