Speaking of this year's college entrance examination, Hong Zhongji admitted that he had been preparing for more than two years and wanted to be a doctor because of the epidemic in 2020.

After the exam, they will wait for me at the entrance of the examination room and send me out."

Hong Zhongji's wife told reporters that she is 80 years old this year, but she will not be too tired if she exercises regularly and waits for a few hours.

exam, Hong Zhongji, accompanied by his wife, boarded the first bus home, but did not forget to turn around and tell the reporter, "If I announce my results and I still have an ideal score, we will talk."
