This is just an unfortunately common thing in Asian countries, getting into the best schools is treated like a life-or-death thing for many.

Yeap, including cram schools most kids highschool and below are pulling 12-16 hour days. Over there grade school and highschool are where you put your work in and really over exert yourself, and then college and grad school are a cake walk and when you get to finally party your ass off.
