On Tuesday, many Chinese students are scheduled to take the college entrance exams, or gaokao. As an important exam in Chinese students' life, many senior students often feel nervous before the exam. On Saturday, teachers from Zhengzhou, Central China's Henan Province, decide to wear cheongsam to relieve pressure for these students, as wearing cheongsam means "succeed at the first try" in Chinese.

A teacher, surnamed Du, said that the school holds such an activity every year. This time, five female teachers and five male teachers participated in the activity. "When male teachers wearing cheongsam showed up at the school playground, the students were cheering and shouting. And we can tell from their happy smiles that they feel better now," Du said.

Although the pictures of the male teachers wearing cheongsam were hilarious, the teachers were very happy, and one teacher even waved his hand to interact with his students. 

"The gaokao is not only a test for students, but also a good opportunity for teachers to check the results of their work. It can be said that the teachers are trying their best to help these students!" one netizen commented.
