Ever wonder if someone, or something up above is watching out for you? One young woman caught an image on camera which could be said is very much a “like” that came from above, literally.

A cloud, resembling an arm and hand making a thumbs up, was seen over the southern Chinese province of Guangdong on June 4. The image quickly gained popularity on Weibo, China’s version of Twitter, as the encouraging image came just days before the most grueling and decisive test in Chinese student’s lives, the Gaokao, or College Entrance Exam.
