Every year, about 80,000 students apply to the China Academy of Art — but only 1,600 are accepted, a mere 2%. 🎓

Entrance exams take place in huge halls filled with thousands of students sketching for hours, knowing their future may hinge on a single test.

The Central Academy of Fine Arts is even more selective: 40,000 applicants compete for just 700–800 spots. To ensure fairness, judges are taken to a secret location with no devices and remain isolated until every anonymous artwork is reviewed.

For many students, years of preparation come down to one day. While some now study abroad at higher cost, competition in China’s top art schools remains fierce.

It’s a glimpse into what happens when millions of talented individuals chase a limited number of opportunities.

They remember your face. And if you were unkind, they remember how you made them feel.

Crows can pick a human face out of a crowd. Not just for a day, but for years. If someone scares or harms them, they scold, swoop, and keep their distance the next time.

They also talk about it. Other crows watch and learn. Parents show their young which faces to avoid. Soon the kids can spot that person on their own. The lesson spreads through the neighborhood like a warning.

This isn’t a myth. Field studies tested it with simple masks. One mask meant danger. Another meant safe. The “danger” face got mobbed again and again, even by birds that were never trapped.

It’s tempting to call it a grudge. Maybe it is. Maybe it’s just smart survival. Either way, a crow’s memory is deep, and their family is listening.

If you want crows as friends, be gentle. If you wrong one, don’t be surprised when the whole flock remembers.
