Abstract
The retention or abolition of national college entrance examination (CEE) has triggered a fierce controversy in academe. Although controversial causes and focus vary from time to time, the result remains the same—adopting uniform national examinations and making it innovative all the time. Since CEE has political, social and educational functions, it is necessary not only to make CEE keep up with the times and actively reform, but also to uphold the principle of attaining the balance between change and steady, which is the only approach to maintaining CEE.
