A man keeps studying for knowledge even at a very old age. It gives an example to the old saying: "It's never too late to learn".

Zou Weimin from East China's Zhejiang province began his higher education in 1960. But it came to stop after one year when he left school and went to work, because his family was too poor. In 1977, the national college entrance exam came back again for Chinese, but Zou could not take the exam as he had crossed the age limit.

It was not until more than 20 years later that Zou's dream of going to college becomes possible. Because age limit for national college entrance exam was cancelled in 2001. In the following years, he took the exam four times and finally became a college student in 2008 and got a bachelor's degree in 2014, more than 40 years since the first time he entered a school campus.

But it is not the end of the road for the 73-year-old, because he has now taken the postgraduate exam. We wish good luck to the old man who has always believed in knowledge.
