What actually is the focus on memorising for? Like even my English lit exams i had to memorise the quotes i was going to use for an essag question i didn’t know yet.
How does this serve capitalism?

Is this really a thing is China? Holy shit, I knew our education sucked but I wasn’t aware how much better it was elsewhere (probably because of said education system failing me)
This is a very Mao thing, he hated people being too obsessed with reading and quoting rather than understanding and exploring. I don’t think it’s especially representative of modern China though, which has moved back towards the bourgeois memorization fetishism
