The National College Entrance Exam, also known as gaokao in Chinese, has been long regarded as a destiny-shaping event for high school students. But the number of students registering for the test has fallen in recent years, from a record 10.5 million in 2008 to 9.3 million this year, Xinhua reports. 新华社消息,曾经一直被认为决定高中学生命运的高考,近年来参加的学生一直下降,从2008年的1050万一直减少到今年的930万。
In the renowned high school affiliated with Fudan University in Shanghai, more than 70 students, or 20 percent of the graduates, have been accepted by foreign universities. That's about seven times as many as five years ago, said Wu Jian, the school's vice president. 著名的上海复旦大学附中今年有70多位高中毕业生被国外大学录取,占该校毕业生的20%。该校副校长吴坚说,这是五年前的7倍。

The declining attraction of Chinese universities showcases their gap with their foreign counterparts, said Kang Liying, deputy director of the Academy of Educational Sciences of the Capital Normal University.
