In early 2008, the BBC broadcast a series of 5 documentaries on life for the pupils of schools in China, called "Chinese School". One of the three schools documented was Xiuning High School, the top school in the county, where the best children had to take an entrance exam to get in, situated in the town of Xiuning. This was shown on BBC 4 and was received with mixed reactions, most of which were positive. [ [http://www.hero.ac.uk/media_relations/18963.cfm Chinese School opens its doors] , Hero.]
