Whiz kid wants a quiet life (8)

He also complains about junior high's heavy study load.

During his primary school days, classes were over at 4:30 pm, and he had time for his hobbies. But in junior high, he leaves home at 6 am and classes end at 6 pm. He goes home and does homework until 10 pm.

"School life seems to be all about classes, homework, exams and rankings. Students who score well in exams are called good students, while those who don't ask teachers questions during the 10-minute break between classes are labled bad students," Feng says, crossing his arms and scowling.

Between mumbles, he reveals his aspiration is to become head of state so he can make everyone happy.

He says he doesn't talk about his dream because everyone seems more concerned about how important it is to get into a top high school, then a top university and, finally, find a good job.

He doesn't believe this is the ideal route.

Feng writes on Sina Weibo: "Almost everyone in China will say there's something wrong with you if you tell them your life ambition is to become president, but people in the US would encourage you."
