China Gaokao Blessing

A day before the National College entrance exam, some students write auspicious words about the title of the golden list on small pieces of paper and attach them to the statues of Confucius and Newton on campus in Nanning, Guangxi Province, China, June 6, 2023. Students burn incense or offer apples, milk, drinks, candy and other items in front of the statue, praying for the gold list and admission to the ideal university. During the college entrance examination season, celebrities such as Confucius, Newton, and thinkers are extremely busy, and the statues are covered with "wish notes" by candidates taking the college entrance examination, and the celebrity sculptures instantly become the "wishing wall" of candidates. On the wrist of the right hand of the statue of Newton, the hand "holds" a deep space black Apple tablet computer (ipad), which is the real Apple tablet computer used by college entrance examination students to worship Newton before the exam and pray for the gold list.
