Fail the Exam and Die

As an accomplished high school teacher, I helped two students from my class get into the nation's best colleges this year, while the rest of my students earned admission to other respectable colleges.

The principal even held a special ceremony in my honor and asked me to share my experience with parents and other teachers.

Under the spotlight, I stood centre stage and enthusiastically shared my insights on teaching. "In this day and age, if you can't get into college, people might as well think you're an idiot."

The audience erupted into laughter, followed by a round of applause.

The next moment, a woman dressed in black got up and challenged me. "What if you were a kid growing up in the countryside? What if your parents had to leave you behind to work in another city?"

I wondered if this woman was here to stir up trouble.

I furrowed my brows slightly but patiently explained, "Ma'am, I grew up in the countryside myself.

"These days, everyone has access to the internet. Educational resources are right at your fingertips. As long as you're willing to put in the effort, getting into college should be easier than it was for me back then."

But the woman glared at me, still unconvinced. "So you still stand by what you just said?"

I nodded. "That's right."

As the woman sneered, I felt my body go limp, and the whole world seemed to spin around me.

Before I lost consciousness, a cold, mechanical voice rang out in my mind.
