Huh. Didn't expect to get an amazing lesson in this chapter. It needs to be emphasized more.

All those talk about "money does not guarantee happinees, money is not everything, school is not everything" can only be said if you have those first. It's called humble and lesson to other. If you don't have those, yet claim as such, then....

"Salty" might be undermining the message. There's gotta be a better continuation of that.

Anyway, totally agree with that. It's not that the statement is wrong, it's just that all things have their correct place and time.

Classically it was sour grapes (at least in Aesop's fables).

545 out of? And how much did the sister score?
Yeah, I was wondering that as well. I'm from the US and back when I was a kid these entrance exams (the SAT) were out of 1600, with anything above 1500 being very good. I remember they had it out of 2400 for a while but I think they mighta gone back to 1600. Is the Gaokao out of 600?

Haozi just give up…

From what I could research. Out of 750 typically. And the cutoff score for decent universities seems to be around ~500 and varies by province cutoff minimum. While top universities require 600+.

Luocheng university seems to be decent university considering that’s what XiaoXiao and Shi’an aimed for. So I think the cutoff was somewhere in the 500-550 range. Little Jin most likely scored in the upper 600s since she’s aiming for law school.

my favorite reply to messages like "money doesnt buy happines" is that "better to be full and unhappy than hungry and unhappy"

Noob indeed, being so happy with just 545 😮‍💨
According to El Goog:
A good Gaokao score depends on your target university, but generally, 600+ out of 750 (around 80%) is strong for good universities, while top-tier ones like Tsinghua need 670+, and scores over 550 are needed for many bachelor's programs, with benchmarks varying by province and specific university cutoffs.

Haozi might’ve gone from one of my favorites, to my least favorite or most hated characters. I’ve been in Shi’ian situation, fathers like him are a pain in the🫏
