Four students who got into the two top universities in China were given a parade by their town to celebrate their achievements.

The parade was held on August 18 in Bobai County in China's Guangxi province.

The students had scored highly in the Gaokao or college entrance exam often referred to as the 'world's toughest exam.'

It's thought that the parade was organised by family and townsfolk to celebrate the four students' achievements.

The students have been admitted to Peking and Tsinghua Universities known to be the two top schools in the country.

Over nine million high school graduates sit the exam every year. The test, known as 'gaokao' in China is known for being difficult and examines students on their Chinese, maths and English along with a science or humanities subject of their choice.

If students fail the Gaokao, it will make it hard for them to get a good paying job. Because of this students spend hours studying for the test with some revising for 16 hours a day in extreme cases.
