Gaokao essay topics prompt eyeroll emojis on Chinese social media
高考结束：全民吐槽语文作文题!
It’s that time of year again: Essay topics for gaokao’s Chinese exam sparked discussion and debate on social media on Wednesday, the first day of the gaokao.
又到了每年的这个时候了：本周三高考第一天，语文作文题又在社交网站上引起了热议。
During the 150-minute gaokao Chinese exam, candidates are required to compose an 800-word essay on a given topic, which vary between regions and provinces.
在150分钟的高考语文考试中，考生需要围绕给定的话题写一篇800字的作文，不同地区或省份之间的题目不同。
The hashtag "2017 gaokao composition" grabbed 4.5 million views on Sina Weibo, just one hour after the topics were made public following the exam’s conclusion.
在考试结束考题被公布一小时之后，以“2017高考作文”为标签的帖子就获得了450万浏览量。
And as in previous years, the topics were a target of social media sarcasm.
而往年，这一话题也是社交媒体讽刺的目标。
In Beijing, students were given the essay topic "Republic, Let Me Take a Photo of You," in which they were asked to describe their vision of China in 2049, or the centennial of the People’s Republic of China.
北京学生的作文题目是“共和国，我为你拍照”，要求考生描绘等到2049年建国100周年时中国是什么样。
"And the republic says: don’t forget to photoshop me!" wrote a Sina Weibo user.
新浪微博一名用户写道：“中国说：别忘了PS!”
Students across nine provinces, including Guangdong Province, were asked to introduce China to foreigners using "two or three key words, such as the Belt and Road initiative, giant panda or even air pollution."
包括广东在内的9省考生，要求用“两三个关键词”向老外介绍中国，例如一带一路、大熊猫、甚至空气污染等等。
"It’s more like a government report than a gaokao composition," "Yudianbianlan" commented.
网友“Yudianbianlan”评论说：“这更像是一份政府报告，而不是一篇高考作文。”
Candidates from 11 regions, including Tibet Autonomous Region and Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, were tasked with writing their essays on provided lines from famous Chinese poems, including one from Mao Zedong.
包括来自西藏和新疆等11个地区的考生，要求以包括毛泽东等所著的几句中国名诗为线索作文。
However, it wasn’t all political slogans and poetry. Candidates in East China’s Shandong Province were told to give their thoughts on a 24-hour bookshop. "I’m glad I have already passed the gaokao," wrote "Xiaoxingren," presumably in relief.
但是，并不是所有题目都是政治口号和诗歌。山东考生就要求表达自己对“24小时共享书店”的看法。网友“Xiaoxingren”宽心地说道：“我很高兴已经高考过了。”
