As a prospective top scorer, I took the college entrance exam twice.
The first time, I got into Tsinghua University.
The second time, I got into Peking University.
I scored over 700 on both exams, but neither of those schools dared to admit me once they saw my name.
I thought it was because I had failed the political background check, so neither school dared to accept me.
But my parents are honest migrant workers. They wouldn't dream of committing a crime; they wouldn't even dare kill a chicken.
Then I took the college entrance exam for the third time, and once again, I scored over 700.
I put Fudan University down as my choice. I thought I was finally in the clear.
But the Fudan teachers, who had arrived to recruit students in high spirits, were stunned the moment they saw my name and immediately insisted that Fudan couldn't accept me.
I just couldn't understand what was wrong with my name. Why, despite scoring so well, did everyone refuse to admit me as soon as they saw it?
