Learning Chinese Through Stories

Millions of students across China were sitting the "gaokao" last week, which decides which university they will go to. How do students cope with the most important exam in their life ? 高考又到了。而距离我的高考，11年已经过去了。 Gāokǎo yòu dàole . ér jùlí wǒ de gāokǎo , shíyī nián yǐjīng guòqù le . 直到许多年以后，回头看身后的脚印，才明白当年那场考试，宛若旋转门一般，有人向左，有人向右。我们与儿时伙伴们的命运车轮悄悄转向，并随着时间的推移，越走越远。 Zhídào xǔduō nián yǐhòu , huítóu kàn shēnhòu de jiǎoyìn , cái míngbai dāngnián nà chǎng kǎoshì , wǎnruò xuánzhuǎnmén yībān , yǒu rén xiàng zuǒ , yǒu rén xiàng yòu . Wǒmen yǔ érshíhuǒbànmen de mìngyùn chēlún qiaoqiao zhuǎnxiàng , bìng suízhe shíjiān de tuīyí , yuè zǒu yuè yuǎn . 那个时候，夏天6点半上早自习，冬天好像是7点吧，上半个小时左右，去吃早餐。然后上午4节课，下午3节课，晚上还要晚自习到9点。周日上午也要上自习，不是这个老师来占课，就是那个老师来占课。 Nàge shíhou , xiàtiān Liù diǎn bàn shàng zǎo zìxí , dōngtiān hǎoxiàng shì qī diǎn ba , shàngbàn ge xiǎoshí zuǒyòu , qù chī zǎocān .

China's young people are fed up with the "rule of 996". But for Lin Rui and Li Pan, it's the compromise they have to make.  毕业这两年，林睿常常被同学、朋友调侃称为“加班狗”，但他自己并不喜欢这样一个称呼，因为带个“狗”字，多少让他觉得没尊严。 Bìyè zhè liǎng nián , Lín Ruì chángcháng bèi tóngxué , péngyou diàokǎn chēngwéi " jiābān gǒu " , dàn tā zìjǐ bìngbùxǐhuān zhèyàng yī ge chēnghu , yīnwèi dài ge " gǒu " zì , duōshao ràng tā juéde méi zūnyán . “加班，只不过是我为了在这个社会生存下去做出的妥协。” " jiābān , zhǐ bùguò shì Wǒ wèile zài zhège shèhuì shēngcún xiàqù zuòchū de tuǒxié . " 的确，那些牺牲的周末和睡眠让林睿有了比同龄人更高的薪水，在知名外企工作的经验也让他的履历更加具有竞争力。 Díquè , nàxiē xīshēng de zhōumò hé shuìmián ràng Lín Ruì yǒule bǐ tónglíngrén gèng gāo de xīnshuǐ , zài zhīmíng wàiqǐ gōngzuò de jīngyàn yě ràng tā de lǚlìgèngjiā jùyǒu jìngzhēnglì . “眼前是煎熬，但也许今后的生活可以变得轻松。”林睿说出了自己的憧憬。 " yǎnqián shì jiānāo, dàn yěxǔ jīnhòu de shēnghuó kěyǐ biàn de qīngsōng .

996 is a policy widespread among Chinese companies that makes employees work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week. "To be able to work 996 is a huge bliss", said Jack Ma, China's richest man. What is your thoughts ? “每天被闹钟振醒的时候、在路上挤公交的时候，脑子里会闪现出100遍辞职的念头。”29岁的吴梦颖这样形容自己上班时的心情。 " měi tiān bèi nàozhōng zhèn xǐng de shíhou , zài lùshang jǐ gōngjiāode shíhou , nǎozi lǐ huì shǎn xiànchū yībǎi biàn cízhí de niàntou .
