0This episode features a woman named 芊芊草 who now works as an assistant professor in Hong Kong. The interview primarily details her educational and career journey, starting with her high school experience as a humanities student in Henan in 2006, her choice of political science at a foreign language university in Shanghai despite parental advice, and her eventual decision to pursue graduate and doctoral studies in Hong Kong due to a personal interest fueled by Hong Kong dramas. She also reflects on the demanding nature of academic life and shares a powerful memory of how a heavy-handed high school teacher negatively affected her academic performance, advising her past self to resist being emotionally manipulated (PUA).
The interviewer, 宫师姐Chelsea, explains that the goal of the "Beyond the Gaokao" series is to create a diverse dataset of life stories to help current high school students broaden their imaginations about future possibilities.
