Thanks for your letter. You are describing a common problem experiencing by students all over China. Like you already know， the competition to get into a better university or college is very strong， and that in turn means heavy study load for students. I know that this can feel like a terrible burden at time， but my advice to you is to keep on studying as your hard work will pay for in the end. In the meanwhile， do you best to relax. Proper rest and relaxation are real important. Although I know that you are very busy， but I want you to try to set some time aside after class and at weekends such that you can relax properly.
