When Hengshui in north China＇s Hebei Province was among the country＇s poorest cities in late 1990s, no one could have imagined a high school there would go on to make it a national gem. On June 23, Hengshui High School posted the results of its students in this years national college entrance exam, or the gaokao, online. Of the top 10 students with the highest liberal arts scores in Hebei, nine were from this school; six of the top 10 sci- ence scorers were as well. Hebei has roughly 2,000 high schools, yet this school alone is responsible for edu- cating more than half of the students in the province who go on to study at national key universities, known as China＇s Ivy League. Take Peking University and Tsinghua University, China＇s top two schools, for ex- ample. A regular high school would be happy to send two or three students there, but in 2013, Hengshui High School alone sent 104 students to those two universities.
