Wang almost didn't even finish high school, though, because of China's Cultural Revolution. Universities were shut down for ten years and the college entrance exam was stopped. Young people were forced into labor camps or had to learn a musical instrument to join a government song-and-dance troupe. Despite these setbacks, Wang studied hard to complete three years' worth of high school curriculum in just two months after the revolution ended.
