Youth leaders share knowledge and break barriers

University students create a platform where top scorers share their study secrets and personal experiences to inspire and guide young learners across China.

Many people have turned to top students for help with their questions during school, much like in a "cyber classroom" called "House of Youth".

In this online space, around a dozen provincial-level top scorers from the gaokao (China's college entrance exam) serve as companions and "mentors", teaching and answering viewers' questions.

This public online classroom is an account on Douyin (Chinese version of Tik-Tok), founded by three post-2000 university students: Zhang Boyu and Liu Zimian from Tsinghua University, and Zhang Chujian from the Central University of Finance and Economics.
