Honestly, I don't know how Chinese, South Korean, Japanese, (etc.) kids do it. They're under such immense pressure to succeed.

Am Hong Kong uni student. I can tell you that the workload in college is significantly lower than in primary or secondary school.

In HK (and I think in China as well), all of your school life leads to 1 important exam, and this exam determines whether you get into uni or not.
