Student Tries to Gain Admission by Hacking University’s Website
May 16, 2013 By eChinacities.com

We all know how the dreaded Gaokao system takes a huge toll on the sanity of millions of Chinese students across the country, so perhaps some sympathies can be extended to 16 year-old Zhao, who tried to gain admission to Lanzhou University by hacking the school’s website.

On May 13, Zhao managed to upload a number of posts on to the university’s website. The posts, which were all entitled “Hello all the distinguished school leaders and teachers”, began with an explanation of the apparent “non-malicious motivation” behind his hackings, as well as noting his admiration for the school. In Zhao’s mind, displaying his hacking skills was the perfect way to impress the school, as he could prove his worth in helping the school address its internet security problems.

In a later interview, Zhao explained this idea spawned from his fear of failing the Gaokao exam and missing out on attending his dream school. Still though, if he fails his entrance exam, there’s probably a certain mysterious hacking institution in Shanghai that would welcome his talents.
