Students paraded in streets after being accepted into China’s top universities

A video of students being paraded in a public procession in southern China to celebrate their admission into the country’s two top universities is making its rounds online.

The 40-minute parade took place last Friday on the streets of Bobai county in Guangxi province, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported on Tuesday.

Four students, with garlands round their necks, stood through the sunroofs of individual SUVs as the vehicles drove alongside trucks and motorcycles during the procession.

Lion dancers and drummers performed to jubilant music as the motorcade moved through the streets.

A truck at the front of the procession carried red banners bearing the names of the four students and the top universities they were admitted into – Peking University and Tsinghua University, both in Beijing.
