Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jia Shu were busily preparing and reviewing, eagerly anticipating the upcoming college entrance examination.
Every day, the loudspeaker announced the complete restoration of the college entrance examination system, which was to be implemented immediately. The exams would be held this year, right away. Everyone could take the exam, and whoever passed would get in.
All the educated youth were excited.
People who used to bend over with laughter at the sight of books now realized that the opportunity to change their fate had arrived.
Almost everyone was staying up all night, working hard, although some remained calm, having known the news at the first instant.
Jia Shu and He Aiguo were relieved that they hadn't given up on studying together.
Suddenly, the language and math books that had been tossed aside for ten years became the most sought-after treasures.
Everywhere, in the streets and alleys, people were discussing the college entrance examination.
