Features: The elite of the elite, looking back at the years of pursuing dreams; Tsinghua and Peking University, inviting you to join hands with the future! Here, you will find heartfelt expressions from students of Tsinghua and Peking University, insights on preparing for the college entrance exam, the authentic atmosphere of top-performing families, and personal secrets to achieving high scores. My College Entrance Exam Story is written by eight undergraduate students currently enrolled at Tsinghua and Peking University, sharing their personal experiences during their senior year of high school. Due to the limited enrollment capacity of Chinese universities and the massive number of applicants each year, the college entrance exam has become a phenomenon of "a hundred thousand soldiers crossing a single log bridge." As a result, the senior year of high school has become a focal point of societal attention. The authors of this book are all winners of the college entrance exam and were once outstanding high school students. Although their senior year experiences vary, their writings reveal a deep nostalgia for "senior year." The phrase "Senior year is hell, but also the path to paradise" by one of the authors may well echo the sentiments of many students. In My College Entrance Exam Story, the elite reflect on their senior year, with every word expressing their genuine emotions, vividly recreating their inner journey during those dream-chasing years and the arduous path of relentless effort. There is a mix of reflections—regrets, helplessness, surprises, and bitterness—believed to deeply resonate with those who are about to, currently, or have already experienced this phase. The spring breeze of March will carry My College Entrance Exam Story to your desk. When you have free time or need to relax, open this book, and the youthful words within will remind you that after the cold winter, there is the tender green of spring and the brightness of sunshine. We hope that My College Entrance Exam Story will relieve your worries, release your pressure, provide assistance, and ultimately guide you into the beautiful campus of your dream university.
