At the beginning of June 2014, the entire China was in a state of worries and expectation. All is because of the said most important examination for the Chinese young men – the Entrance Examination to College.
Can you imagine that? The ways used to prevent cheating in the examination sites could match the anti-terrorism measures of 007. In some examination sites, there are cameras, fingerprint identifiers, metal detectors and hi-tech tools that can capture the wireless signal transmitting the answers.
Though there are numerous complaints about the college entrance exam, this highly competitive examination is still one of the few fair measures to test men’s ability and decide people’s future. Generally, young men from ordinary families are not standing at the same starting line with those from rich families. Therefore, a slang popular in the Internet called the college entrance exam the “last opportunity to beat others with your intelligence”. The way forward is more determined by the relationships for boys and the looks for girls.
In spite of the strict anti-cheating measures, there are still people daring to cross the line. Apart from various tools for cheating, such as the hidden earphone, invisible ink, and camera inside the watch, some people chose the old cheating method, hiring the “ghost testee” for themselves.
Ten days after the examination, the TV station of China began to intensively report about the “ghost testees” in this year’s college entrance exam. It was reported that the organizations doing this began to prepare for the cheating several months before the exam. They charged the students who intended to hire “ghost testees” based on their requirements of achievements. For example, a “ghost testee” could be paid US$8000 if he/she helped the “employer” get the scores adequate for the first-class universities of China.
The organizations spared no money in buying off invigilator in some examination sites, making sure every “ghost testee” can pass the fingerprint identification and identity recognizing.
The invigilator cost more than the “ghost testee” as at least US$11,000 was needed to make an invigilator turn blind to the cheating inside the examination. Therefore, most of those hiring “ghost testees” are comp–aratively rich. They could use their money to easily defeat those who have spent 12 years in studious learning.
After the revelation of the case, the Ministry of Education said it would punish these wrongdoers severely. The invigilators, students and their parents, organizations engaged in cheating and the “ghost testees” are to be confronted with legal responsibility. However, the past experiences have proven that the punishment for the wrongdoers can not completely eradicate the problem.
The unveiled scandal in the college entrance exam and the aftershock reflects Chinese people’s concerns about the loss of social equity. This is especially a heavy blow for those holding the belief that the college entrance exam is the last fortress of fairness that remains untainted by power and money in China. A Chinese local editor wrote in his blog: the last fair way to success is ruined at last.
