Chinese students finish college entrance exams amid slowing economy, rising stress for youth
More than 13 million high school students in China have just completed a highly competitive national entrance exam.
Known as the “gaokao” - it involves years of preparation and is supposed to open the door to career opportunities.
But a slowing economy means passing the exam may not be enough anymore.
