Tang Xiao was recently given a school assignment that asked him to write an essay about his ideal job. The 10-year-old Beijing pupil responded by writing that he wanted to be the head of a large business. “You want to be a boss, that’s OK. But you shouldn’t end your article like this. You should write ‘I want to do charity work with the money I earn’,” his teacher commented. Tang’s mother said she could see the point of the teacher’s advice but suggested a different approach.” He’s only 10. We’ve always instructed him to help those in need. But charity? I don’t think he really understands the word at the moment.”
This is the unwritten rule for Chinese students: You can write what you think, but make sure it reflects your “positive thinking”. The problems are really highlighted by the gaokao, China’s life-changing college entrance examination.
“The kind of articles have always been highly stereotyped, and more so in recent years,” said Qi Yongxiang, who has been an examiner for the writing exam. “There is not much diversity or originality. They write some beautiful sentences, but without making a point.” Nowadays, the common practice is to prepare stories about famous people, decorated with beautiful sentences, and then find a way to use them into the essay, regardless of the actual topic.
Zhang Yikun, one of nine million students who sat this year’s gaokao, really know how it works. “The teacher at school gave us a list of 50 new public intellectuals(公众人物),” said Zhang. “The examiners must have been tired of the popular examples, so we had to give them something fresh.” Zhang’s mother, Song Wenli, a Chinese teacher at primary schools, said she always encourages students to express their true feelings, but students have to printout in what way you are educated and inspired. That’s always the rule in China, otherwise it’s hard for students to get a high score.
However, there have been changes over the years. The past 35 years have witnessed a rise in diversity of topics and a decrease in the political implications of the essays in the gaokao. “It’s still hard for students to express themselves freely under the current education system, especially when faced with the high pressure brought by the gaokao,” said Xiong Bingqi, vice-president of the 21st Century Education Research Institute. “The writing test was originally designed to display a student’s independent thinking and writing skills. But now, they just try their best to attract the examiner,” said Xiong.
