On June 6, netizens waiting for Li Ronghao’s “Study Hard” message saw his annual college entrance exam blessing arrive right on schedule, this time with an emoji attached.

Since 2016, Li Ronghao has posted a reminder every year the day before the national college entrance exam, telling students to “study hard tomorrow.” His tradition has earned him the nickname “the strictest father of the college entrance exam.”

Li Ronghao once revealed that he scored only 150 points total on the exam. After failing three times, he chose to pursue a career in music. From a failed student to a Golden Melody Award winner, his blessing carries a real story of turning setbacks into success.

Li Ronghao was born on July 11, 1985, in Bengbu, Anhui Province. His representative works include “Model,” “Young and Promising,” “King of Comedy,” and “Li Bai.”
