("Primary school enrollment hit a peak in 1994 and has been falling ever
since; secondary school enrollment peaked in 2003; applications for the
college entrance 'gao kao' exam peaked in 2008.")

the gap should be three years.

("The 27-ton stone coffin of Tang empress Wu Huifei (AD 699-737) arrived at
the Shaanxi History Museum on Thursday, four years after it was smuggled out
