On June 7, high school students in China picked up their pens to kick off the multi-day gaokao journey. The exam halls buzzed with excitement as cultural traditions lit up the day—red symbols of luck were everywhere! Parents donned cheongsams and students tied red ribbons in their hair for good fortune, while many carried sunflowers, a nod to top ranking. ❤️
Moments of unity stood out as well. Teachers and students exchanged high-fives after the first session, showing that community support can make even a challenging day feel a bit lighter. In a memorable act of care, police quickly helped a forgetful candidate with a temporary ID, ensuring the process ran smoothly for everyone. 🤝
This blend of academic challenge and heartfelt tradition transformed the exam day into a celebration of hope, determination, and togetherness. Keep calm and ace on, because every step of this journey is a win in itself! ✏️
