Under China's intensely competitive and stressful gaokao, the central authorities set quotas on how many applicants universities should admit from each area, so students from provinces with larger populations will have a harder time gaining admittance to universities.
在緊張激烈的高考競爭中，高考錄取按照省份分配錄取名額，所以來自人口大省的考生在考取大學時面臨著更加激烈的競爭。
About 984,000 students in Henan took the gaokao this year, the highest number among all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions.
今年河南省約有98.4萬名考生參加高考，是全國各省市中考生人數最多的省份。
Chu Zhaohui, a senior researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences, said that instead of being organized by education authorities, the gaokao should be run by professional examination organizations to prevent possible power abuse by officials.
中國教育科學研究院研究員儲朝暉認為，不應由教育部門來組織高考，而是應該交由專業的考試機構進行組織，從而防止官員們濫用權力。

Candidates must perform well in the exam to gain admission to the best universities, where graduation guarantees a bright future with status, wealth and possible influence.
高考被視作中學生最重要的考試，因為分數很大程度上決定了他們的未來。考生需要在高考中考出好成績，才能進入一流大學學習，從而離擁有地位、財富以及影響力的光明未來更近一步。
