TL;DR Summary

Liang Shi, a 56-year-old self-made millionaire in China, has failed the country's notoriously intense college entry exam — for the 27th time. Despite having his own construction materials business and being a millionaire, Liang has always harbored dreams of going to college. He needs to take China's once-a-year college entrance exam, or gao kao, to achieve his dream. Liang started taking the exam in 1983 when he was 16 but gave up for about a decade from 1992 as the test was only for single people under the age of 25.
