18-anno-vecchio di alta scuola di laurearsi Wang Xinyi, che è stato ammesso alla Università di Pechino è stato intervistato a casa sua in un villaggio nella contea di Zaoqiang, Hengsh
18-year-old high-school graduate Wang Xinyi, who was admitted to Peking University, is interviewed at her home in a village in Zaoqiang county, Hengshui city, north China's Hebei province, 1 August 2018. Wang Xinyi, an 18-year-old high-school graduate in Hengshui, Hebei Province, was accepted by Peking University because of her high score in the extremely competitive Chinese National College Entrance Examination. However, Wang hit the headlines recently, not because of her excellent performance in the test, but because she "thanked poverty" in a recent article published online, which caused debate across China's social media. "Though the poverty has narrowed my vision, hurt my self-esteem and even taken away the life of my beloved ones, " she wrote in the article, "I still want to say, thank you, poverty." She suggests that the poverty and her bitter experiences of material deprivation did not only expose her to the dark side of life, but also strengthened her spirit.
