Chinese Millionaire Fails University Entrance Exam 27 Times

A Chinese millionaire has reported failing the difficult university entrance exams for the twenty-seventh time. Liang Shi, 56 years old, discovered last Friday that he scored only 424 out of a possible 750 points, which is 34 points less than the minimum requirement to apply to any university in China. Nearly 13 million students took the exams this year. Liang has previously attracted local media coverage for his repeated attempts to complete higher education. After attending the exams dozens of times since 1983, Liang expressed disappointment in his result this year and wondered if there would ever be a time when he realizes his dream. The man, who resides in Sichuan, told Chinese media outlet Tianmu News: "I kept telling myself I can't believe I won't succeed, but now I am devastated."
