Yang Wei had fateful journey to arrive at his education, achievements and career today. Even though his exam score met the Northwestern Polytechnical University standard but he's color blind thus failed the physical & health requirements. Fortunately his school teacher knowing his good marks helped him by making some call to the university, and it happened that the head of the department in NWPU, a student of Qian Xuesen, was also color blind. Yang Wei was asked to come and met in person, and eventually was admitted to the NWPU.

And another crossroad, also from his own words in above footage, at one point of time he was just short of one point mark to get the first place when there's a vacant for government scholarship for studying abroad, thus the other candidate who was selected. Upon his flash back, that narrow miss was helpful for his life. Had he obtained that scholarship and studied abroad, he might not have been what he's today.

Some story about his admission into the prestigious Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS):

Besides the news concerning the eventually halted J-10C deliveries, this is the - at least IMO - even more important part:

So come on ... please show us such a J-20A with 61x2x-serials!??

PS: And yes I know this image of J-20A no. 61021 is a BAD FAKE. :p

Why do Chinese universities require a physical exam prior to admitting applicants?

Why do Chinese universities require a physical exam prior to admitting applicants?
I don't think this is a modern requirement. It was a requirement decades back when only the finest were able to attend university because there were so few institutions and so many smart, promising students. The physical exam was given because they wanted to impart the limited opportunities to those who are the healthiest and most likely to live the longest as those with hypertension, diabetes or heart issues might die or become seriously ill before they could make their contributions back to the country and those who are color-blind are limited in what they can do (chemistry, for example can be very difficult for the colorblind). Usually, you're not really a highly valuable scientist until you're in your 50's and that's when health problems tend to kick in. The designer of the J-15, Luo Yang died at age 51 from heart attack after hearing that his jet landed safely on the Liaoning. Had he lived, he could could have made many more contributions in his designs to Chinese naval aviation over another 2 decades. That's the kind of thing China wanted to avoid with the physical exam.
