#School responds to girl choosing to go to technical school after getting 602 points in Gaokao. “Lately, a girl who got 602 points in the Gaokao has chosen to enrol at the Zhejiang Mechanics and Electrics Vocational College, drawing a lot of attention on the internet. On the 23rd of July, Jimu New reporter learned from said school that she has chosen to major in city rail transportation control technology, which is highly practical, and maintains an employment rate of around 98% or so.
Teachers at said school tell reporters, Chen Yuxuan is very extroverted, enthusiastic, and started paying attention to the school from a long time ago. Rather than prestige, Chen Yuxuan is more interested in overall personal development and the opportunity to learn hands-on practical skills.
He introduces that their City Rail Control major is very practical. Once students graduate, they can get a job in the field right away. At the same time, the school has accumulated large amounts of resources throughout its years and has partnerships going on with many businesses, so they can provide their students with employment opportunities.
The reporter noticed that this school has completed its transition from technical school to vocational college, becoming Hangzhou’s very first vocational school. Its official WeChat introduces that they’ve added new majors in Mechanical Electronic Engineering, AI Control Technologies, Mechanical Design, Production, and Automation, Material Molding and Control Engineering.
Among then, the City Rail Transportation Equipment and Control graduates have an employment rate of 98%, usually getting employed by Shanghai Rail, Hangzhou Subway, Hanggang Subway, and other rail transportation companies, or Chinese Car and other rail equipment manufacturers.
Additionally, based on the application information this school published in 2024, the highest applicant score they got was 608 points, the lowest 532 points. For Chen Yuxuan’s major, the highest applicant got 608 points, the lowest 573 points.
Education expert Xiong Bingqi believes that when students are picking schools and majors, they all have their own plans. We can’t simply think that the best choice for every student is to get into a prestigious university and get a high diploma. “This has been going on for years, where a student will get a great score, but still choose a major they like in a vocational school,” Xiong Bingqi claims. This sort of thing is very normal, and people need to change their traditional “only diplomas matter” mindset.”
Comments say, “Once she starts looking for a job, she’ll find out how much people discriminate against “vocational schools”. She would’ve been so much better off going to Zhejiang Engineering or Hangzhou Electrical University or something.”
“Only high school students would believe in numbers like 98% employment rate.”
#Police stops woman from mailing 300K in gold to her best friend. “Lately, a Yunnan package delivery company called the police, claiming that a woman wanted to mail 300K in gold and they found that unreasonable. When the police arrived, Ms. Wang claimed that she was sending these 5 gold bars to her best friend as her wedding gift. When the police pressed for more details, they learned that her best friend, who lived overseas, called her on QQ video chat and asked her to buy 300K in gold and mail it to an address in Guangzhou. Due to her trust in her friend, Ms. Wang did as requested.
The police believed she encountered fraud, and after 3 hours of persuasion, Ms. Wang finally realised she might’ve been tricked. The police believes right now that the suspect stole the QQ account, and used AI to change his face and voice to conduct the con.”
Comments say, “Does she need any more best friends? I can do it!”
“She needs to have her brain checked XD”
“Girls’ mouths are deeper then guys’ by 3-4cm. It’s about 13cm from their lips to their throat, and the volume is about 92ml. Now I get why girls choke on water so much when drinking.
Guys, do you know that girls have different oral structures than men? Girls’ mouths are usually deeper than men’s by 3-4cm. Why would a bigger mouth make it easier to choke? Because if your mouth is bigger, it can hold more water, and that makes it more likely for you to screw up while you’re swallowing. Water might get into your airway, and you’ll start coughing.
But keep in mind, this is just an interesting discovery, not an absolute phenomenon. After all, everyone drinks water differently. Some girls might be more careful, and they hardly ever choke at all. While some men drink way too fast and often find themselves coughing too.”
Comments say, “This is so unscientific. How is it possible to differ from men by that much?”
“But having a deeper mouth is a good thing sometimes. [Doge]”
“A bunch of dogs are circling again.”
“I cooked tonight. Spent 18.6 RMB on the ingredients, mostly making Subei dishes. If any of you have questions about cooking, you can ask me.”
Comments say, “I can’t believe my wife’s never had edamame and bell peppers before.”
“Do you see our difference?”
“Didn’t you buy bitter melons? Why didn’t you cook them?”
“In Henan, Kaifeng, a private residence caught on fire. After it was put out, the owner claimed that he had stored cash under the couch on the third floor. The firefighters managed to find three aluminium boxes, but all the cash inside had been charred black.
Comments say, “As a normal person, it’s pretty dangerous to keep large amounts of cash at home. Most people living in normal, modern society wouldn’t do this. But I guess it’s a different story for large amounts of illegal earnings.”
“Can he get new bills with these?”
“Next time, buy gold.”

#Lawyer interprets second ruling on stray cat tripping case. “March, this year, a man in Shanghai, Mr. Wu, was playing badminton in an indoor field in a sports equipment company, when he was tripped over and injured by a stray cat. The feeder, Mr. Xiao, was sentenced to 240K in damages by the Shanghai Minhang District Court in the first hearing. This news quickly got on the trending topics and drew much discussion from netizens.
On the 24th of July, the Minhang District Court announced their appeal hearing, “The original ruling was correct in this case, but the laws quotes were wrong. This appeal court will correct the ruling thus: cancel the original ruling. For the 240,198.2 RMB of damages the plaintiff, Mr. Wu, demanded, the sports equipment company should shoulder 80% of the responsibility, and pay 192,158.56 RMB, and the feeder Mr. Xiao should shoulder 20% of the responsibility, and pay 48,039.64 RMB.”
Henan Zejin Law Firm’s director, Fu Jian, spoke to Upstream News reporters about the second ruling. As far as the responsibility the feeder of the stray cat, Mr Xiao, lawyer Fu Jian analysed, “The focus of this case is whether or not Mr. Xiao is the stray cat’s manager and owner. Our countries laws state that simple feeding does not make you the owner of a stray animal. But if you care for stray animals beyond the occasional feeding, like habitual, long-term feeding at a designated spot, bathing the cat, taking it to a vet, etc, etc, then you’ll be judged to own the cat. And based on our laws, when your pet animal causes someone else harm, you as the owner need to shoulder the responsibility. Mr. Xiao wasn’t just occasionally feeding the stray cat in this case, so as the owner of the cat, he needs to take a part of the responsibility.””
Comments say, “I mean, it’s hard to say…”
“The lawyer definitely isn’t wrong.”
“But the defendant wasn’t wrong to feed animals either.”
“Every side got hurt by this case T_T”
“You can always believe in our ancestors’ standard of beauty! Now I get why concubines in novels get so jealous when the Emperor gives someone else something she likes!”
A compilation of pretty antiques:
“Now I get how villainesses think. Who wouldn’t go crazy for this?”
“If this got on the head of someone I hate, of course I’d push her into a pond! I’d be jealous even three years after I’ve died!”
“See that stem? Yes, the green part. That’s a straw. You heard me right. That’s a straw!”
“No wonder all the concubines fought each other so much. If I can’t have this, no one else is gonna have it either.”
“Yeah, obviously, all those noble ladies aren’t gonna fight to the death over an ordinary hairpin.”
“The moment I think about how my rival might get this, my vision goes dark and my heart tightens.”
“Oh, they’re fighting over these! I thought they just liked stinky old men.”
“Who doesn’t wanna wear this? T_T”
“You gotta see it to get the meaning of “eight man palanquin”.”
“Now I get why you need to climb all the way up. I want to try all the styles!”
“My friend’s son is 8 years old, and the school nurse suggested a circumcision for him. My best friend found me, and I took a look, and honestly felt like it was optional, but she absolutely insisted on it.
So I found a slot in the afternoon and took the kid into surgery.
The kid was really scared, and absolutely refused to let us numb his peepee. I was super relieved. Yay, I don’t have to do it anymore! So I comforted the kid and asked the nurse to see him out.
Once I got out of my scrubs and got out of the OR, I saw my best friend by the door, beating her kid. She was spanking him on the butt, and not very hard at that, but the kid was curled up, not crying out loud, but tears were streaming down his face.
I was really mad at my friend, and I told her word by fucking word, “Your kid might not stop loving you because you beat him, but he’ll stop loving himself.”
And now I’m finally heading to lunch.”
Comments say, “It’s happened to me twice. Kids come in for skin tag removal, and after they get on the laser bed, they get nervous and refuse to cooperate. And usually, I’ll be like, “It’s fine, it’s not like it has to happen right now. We can wait ’til they’re a bit older before we do this.” And then the parents will just slap them in the face and make them cry, and force the kids to get their skin tags removed while crying and shaking and clearly terrified. I just don’t get why people force kids to do these entirely unnecessary procedures.”
“A lot of parents, daycares, or even school nurses have a lot of misconceptions about foreskins. I’ve written about this before.”
“They’ve been brainwashed by Jewish religious rites. It’s not like it’s deformed. Why would you remove it? Just flip it out when you’re older and you’ll be fine.”
“I want work, but I don’t want to go to any job interviews. What do I do?
HR feels really intimidating. I’m scared they’ll ask me job-related questions and my mind will go blank.
I’m just really scared of communicating with HR. I mean, I talk a lot of nonsense just in daily conversation, so I worry I’ll fail every interview.
I just can’t force myself to go talk to HR ahhhhhh what do I do.”
Comments say, “It’s just because you’re incompetent and you have nothing to say. That’s where your fear comes from.”
“Wow, you’re another me. As soon as I see the job description, I’ll start thinking to myself, “Can I even do this? No way. I can’t. I don’t know how to do this. I can’t do that either. Is this company really exploitative? Am I going to get along with my coworkers? Are they going to isolate me? blah blah blah. And then I get avoidant.”
“I love bullshitting in interviews though. I think I reach peak extroversion in job interviews.”
“+1. I’m just really annoyed by having to talk to HR. But then I figured to myself, rather than torturing myself, why not just act crazy in front of other people? What if I find someone just as crazy as me?”
“Why is it so complicated and hard to find a job? First, you gotta send out your resume, and most of the time, you don’t hear anything back. Even if you got an interview, you might not pass. Even if you passed, the company might be full of red flags. There might be second rounds of interviews or exams. Then they have to try you out, and you might get told to leave at this step. And even if you passed, they need to run a background check. You have to get through all this to get an official offer. And once you have your offer, you still need to get a physical checkup, which you could still fail or they refuse to accept it. Even once you start working, you have to get through your trial period, during which you could get told to leave at any time.”
