The top 6% of students in Guangzhou usually fall into a few types: those who do 996 at cram schools; exceptionally talented competition students; clever kids who spend all their time gaming; and diligent students with decent grades.
Zhao Zipei isn't any of these.
He's the fifth type: a slacker who studies just enough.
In his first year of high school, he said, "Come on, Mom! I'm only a freshman! Do I really have to work myself to death studying?!"
