A Day Trip to Hong Kong with Classmates on the Day Gaokao Results Came Out
The author recounts a day trip to Hong Kong with friends, initially planned before the early release of Guangdong Gaokao results. The day begins with a late start and a walk to the Ferris wheel, which is closed until noon. During a break, the author learns their score is 523, 30 points below expectations but still above the special control line. They attribute losses to English and geography. The group proceeds to take the Star Ferry, eat at McDonald's, and visit the Sino Centre, where the author buys a figure. After parting ways, the author explores Wan Chai and Causeway Bay alone, riding a tram and visiting a mall. They dine at a cha chaan teng and enjoy the evening view of Victoria Harbour before returning to Shenzhen, feeling tired and dehydrated. The day ends with the author's mother researching university applications.
