Faces at the List Announcing Wall, Jiangyin
In China, there is Gao Kao and Zhong Kao -- two tests that can ruin a person's job prospects in the future. One is the college entrance exam, and the other is the high school placement test. These tests cause a lot of stress, and this is not new to China. For thousands of years, there was the imperial exams that determined if somebody could or couldn't get a civil service job and rise out of poverty. In Jiangyin, there is a series of sculptures dedicated to a wall where exam results were announced. I thought it would be interesting to just grab a few head shots to demonstrate emotional responses to hearing the news of exam results.
