According to Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, Tian Chang, a female student at Zhengzhou Foreign Language School in Henan Province, China, has already been notified of her acceptance of Beijing University's Myanmar language department ahead of the Kaokao (university entrance exam) in June this year.
In an interview with Henan-sung TV, she said her family celebrated after the news of her acceptance by buying her first ever TV.
Tian said she had a smartphone since she was a child, but her parents didn't allow her to use it.
However, I was only able to use the chat app for 10 minutes a day, and I was able to use the homework app a little more.
Also, while studying in the evening, my parents read books by my side, and only after she finished studying, my family went to bed.
She said she only needs a little effort to study well and learn everything.
Having always won first place since elementary school, she also scored 587 out of 600 in the high school entrance exam.
She also enjoyed her hobby, and she revealed that the erhu, a traditional Chinese instrument with two strings that she had played since she was a child, was helpful in her studies.
It helped her develop her right brain, she said, which helped her improve her imagination, creativity, and language skills, making her pass Beijing University.
She added that she will be dedicated to studying Myanmar language and culture at the university.
As such news spread, mixed reactions poured in online.
Netizens have observed that "It is worth learning that parents have emphasized her education and set a good example for her."Now that they have studied this way, they have entered the top university."Those who have grown up this way often lack life experience and mature much later than their peers.", "Is it all about life to go to a good university? It is more important to teach children happiness" posted comments such as.
Meanwhile, it is estimated that 14 million students will take the university entrance examination in China this year, 'Gaocao', which is an all-time high. This is more than 500,000 more than last year.
