As one of the province's key high schools, Jianzhang No. 1 High School was also a long-established prestigious school.
Over 95% of its students qualified for first-tier universities, and around thirty or forty got into Yanning or Qinghe each year. In particular, its rocket classes, Science Class Six and Liberal Arts Class Twelve, each had more than ten students with a shot at Yanning or Qinghe.

These students might barely study normally, but after just two months of serious effort, they could climb from the bottom of the class to the top few places.
Most of the students also came from very comfortable families. Their parents were either high-ranking public-sector officials or elite executives. Students from struggling families who had earned their way into this school through their own hard work were very, very rare...
