As art colleges in China start their second round of entrance exams in March, candidates who have the passion to pursue a career in the art of film have been taking interviews at multiple schools, traveling to different cities.

Since the admission rate is rather low for acting majors, Li has applied many art colleges across China to face the fierce competition. /VCG Photo

She has been taking interviews since Jan. 5, traveling to seven cities, including Shenyang, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Yantai, Beijing, Jinan and Shanghai. /VCG Photo

According to Li’s mother, to take the exams, they have spent more than 50,000 yuan altogether for food, hotels, transportation and registration fee. /VCG Photo
