Yaoshan Mountain Scenic Area, a park in Pingdingshan, Central China's Henan province, said on its website that college entrance examination sitters this year can visit its Buddha statue for free from June 6th to June 8th, to "hug the foot" of the 200m high statue. The "hug" is a traditional Chinese saying for those who hope to get good luck before cramming for an exam instead of studying on a regular basis. The park tweeted the advertisement on weibo on June 5th, and it has been forwarded about 1,700 times. [Photo/sina.com.cn] |
