During the period of 1977, the college entrance examination system in China, which was interrupted for ten years due to the influence of the Cultural Revolution, was restored, and China once again ushered in the spring of respecting knowledge and talents.

1977 In September, the Ministry of Education of China held a national college entrance examination work conference in Beijing, and decided to resume the national college entrance examination that had been suspended for 10, and select talents for university by unified examination and merit-based admission.

This is a turning point decided by the National Conference on College Admissions. The enrollment targets for resuming the college entrance examination are: workers and peasants, educated youth who go to the countryside and return home, demobilized soldiers, cadres and fresh high school graduates.

The meeting also decided to give priority to key colleges, medical colleges, normal colleges and agricultural colleges when enrolling students, and the students will be uniformly distributed by the state after graduation.

Extended data:

1972 to 1976 Colleges and universities recruit students of workers, peasants and soldiers by means of "voluntary registration, recommendation by the masses, approval by leaders and school audit".
