Before making his unconventional decision, Fei Yu, 24, was on the road to becoming an elite student, Jiupai News reported.
Despite coming from a poor family in Sichuan province, southwestern China, Fei studied hard to get into Sichuan University, also a top institution in China, majoring in public health.
Upon graduation in the summer of 2022, he was admitted by the graduate school of Fudan University.
He did not have to take an entrance test since his scores were ranked the first in his grade during his five-year undergraduate study period.
