The two Tongji University freshmen both are named Su Yuxuan.
At the beginning of September, Shanghai's Tongji University ushered in 9,446 new students, 4,075 of which were incoming undergraduate freshmen.
Among the freshmen who registered on Sept. 4, two students in particular attracted a great deal of attention for many things they share in common. Both are named Su Yuxuan and both come from Hunan province. They graduated in the same graduating class of the High School Affiliated with Hunan Normal University, and they used to live in the same dormitory. They got the same score on this year's college entrance examination, and they even booked the same flight from Changsha to Shanghai without coordinating beforehand.
These two young men are not twins - they are not related at all, in fact. When naming them, both boys' parents chose "Yuxuan" because it means "handsome and dignified." They became acquainted with one another during junior high school, and became classmates when they started high school. Since the dormitories were arranged according to students' initials, they were assigned to the same dormitory.
In this year's college entrance exam, both boys earned a score of 645. They also both chose Nanjing University as their first choice on the application form and Tongji University as their second. Finally, they were both admitted to Tongji University.
One Su Yuxuan was born in September 1998 and was admitted to the Electronic Information and Engineering School of Tongji University. The other Su Yuxuan was born in January 1999 and was admitted to the Traffic Engineering School.
After hearing the coincidence-filled story of these two freshmen, the alumni association of Tongji University gifted each of them a T-shirt with university logo. They also took a group photo at the alumni association office.
