I read the original story in Chinese:Firstly, OP means Original Poster. Now as I mentioned before, you'll find that quote in the first post made by the OP. I did not just pull it out of thin air.
Secondly, members of different cultures may behave differently in various situations. And other members of that same culture would better understand them, that is why I asked you and t_co.
Thirdly, it seems odd to me that a student will openly admit to the media that he should be allowed to cheat. And therefore, my initial question: Is cheating in exams so normal in China that the students think it is only fair ?
I understand how important civil service exams were in ancient China. Thank you for the rest of your post.
The relevant section is bolded. Apparently, the quote about fairness referred to the fact that only one of the six testing centers in the township was instituting such a draconian anti-cheating policy, and hence the parents (not the students) thought it was unfair (since winning slots for Chinese universities are allocated by district). The angry parent(s) also claimed that cheaters could be found everywhere (e.g. in the folks who tested at that testing center in the years prior), so why was his son or daughter being singled out for punishment?视频还记录下å¦ç”Ÿå®¶é•¿è·Ÿé’Ÿç¥¥å¸‚副市长王艳娟对è¯çš„场景,这ä½å®¶é•¿è¦æ±‚钟祥三ä¸è·Ÿå…¶ä»–äº”ä¸ªè€ƒåœºä¸€æ ·ï¼Œå–æ¶ˆå¯¹æ‰‹æœºçš„å±è”½ï¼Œå¹¶ä¸”è´¨ç–‘ä¸ºä»€ä¹ˆåªæœ‰é’Ÿç¥¥ä¸‰ä¸é‡‡å–异地监考措施,"è¿™ä¸å…¬å¹³"。这ä½å®¶é•¿å®£ç§°ï¼ŒåŽ»å¹´é«˜è€ƒå‡ºé—®é¢˜ã€å‰å¹´é«˜è€ƒå‡ºé—®é¢˜ï¼Œä»–都知é“,还说"哪里没有作弊的"。
Sounds like the rant of an angry parent to me more than an indication that cheating is rampant.
