A man in his 70s may never have thought his connection with the life-changing exam now makes him famous on social media in the age of internet.

But for Gan Fubao, his collection of all the test papers of the national college entrance exam, or gaokao, in past 39 years, is for his cherished memory, other than fame.

In 1966, Gan graduated from high school and received the heart-breaking news that college enrollment had been suspended. He reluctantly found a job as a factory worker in his hometown in Jiangxi province.

When the gaokao resumed in the winter of 1977, Gan was thrilled.

"I was excited like a volcanic eruption."
