Gaokao - Ma Yun (Jack Ma)

He was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. His name is given by his grandpa with meaning of well-behaving. At the age of 12, he bought a vest-pocket receiver, and listened to the English radio with great interest. In 1982, he attended the first Gaokao, but failed. In 1983, he attended the exam for second time, but failed again and discouraged by his parents. In 1984, he attended for third time despite of his parents' opposition, and his math grade was not good enough. While the English major is lack of students, he was admitted by the Hangzhou Normal University with an exception. 

So he gives students who attend the exam his opinion about Gaokao: "The life is alway changing. Today's success can not guarantee your future's. And today's failure does not mean no opportunity for you in the future. If you are admitted by the top university in China, please appreciate others. If you are admitted by the nomal university or not, please appreciate yourself. You have your own good destiny. "
