He got into the key high school as advised
I told her not to aim too high on the school choice. She skipped the top school, and her son got in.

Public schools: Dongguan Middle School / Dongguan Middle School Songshanhu School / Future School. Quota students are admitted in the second batch.
公办：东莞中学 / 东莞中学松山湖学
校 / 未来学校，名额生是第二批录取
Here in Dongguan, you fill out the志愿 first, then take the high school entrance exam. The choices are hidden from each other — you don't know how many students from your school applied to which school. If you meet the cutoff score, you get in. If I apply to Dongguan Middle School and they have 5 quota spots, I get in if I rank in the top 5 among applicants from my school. That's how it works.
他他们这个东莞就是先填了志愿以后
再参加中考，然后嘞，那个志愿是互
相不知道的，是屏蔽的，也不知道自
己学校有多少个人去。多少个学生去
报那个学校，然后就是达到了那个录
取分数线以后，他就那学校就会把那
一那个达到的录取录取掉，然后没有
达到的嘞，如果说。哎，假如我报那
个东莞中学，它那个学校给了5个名额
的话，我在那个5个名额的前5名，那
我就会就会录取到。我是这样子。

You still need to prepare mentally. The year chart for next year is not as good as this year's, and his state will slip a bit too.
你还是要做一定的心理准备，流年上
明年没有今年的流年好，状态也有所
下滑

[redacted] [redacted]. But Songshanhu fits his BaZi (known in the West as the Four Pillars of Destiny) well. You can consider it.

Zongyuan, you were so right. We didn't apply to the top Dongguan Middle School. Classmates with slightly higher scores than my son got rejected from it.
猫猫道长，您太厉害了，没有报第一
的东莞中学，比孩子高了几分的同学，
滑档了
So don't reach too high with the school choices — that's exactly what you said.

Do you have time now? My son got admitted as a day student. I don't know whether to rent an apartment for him, or buy a school district apartment so his younger sister can go to middle school there later.
您现在有时间吗？孩子走读录取了，
我不知道是租房子给他，还是买个学
区房，到时候带妹妹去读初中
