60 Minutes focuses on China's college entrance examination system, exploring how its highly exam-oriented learning model reduces knowledge to a tool for scoring points and gradually severs the connection between learning and an individual's real life. Through reflection on the college entrance examination experience, I attempt to present a prevalent but rarely acknowledged state: students are clearly aware of the meaninglessness of learning, yet they still have to obey established rules and complete this exam, which is given decisive significance.

The research for this project is based on my personal experience. During my high school exam preparation, I experienced repetitive practice questions, standardised tests, and a highly time-controlled system. I believe that the college entrance examination is an institutionalised selection system, not a knowledge-generating process. When I left that environment and reflected on it, I gradually realised that what students developed under long-term pressure was not genuine learning motivation, but a passive adaptation to the rules. The project focuses on how individuals develop antagonistic impulses at the psychological and behavioural levels—including passively following rules, detaching themselves from the meaning of learning, and even imagining cheating. This is a rebellious stance that arises within a highly closed system.
