Hey guys, it has been really a very very long time since i touched a computer, because i have been quite busy (as you all have noticed). Have been travelling quite a lot these few days. tag and jindao: sry, i will try my best to come online at night.
Anyway, let me share one of the things that has struck me quite badly recently. I was given a certain amount of allowance by my bad the other day. Few days later, I realized that this amount of money has been depleted a lot, there is only a very pathetic sum left. It left me bewildered and i asked myself: how did i spend so much and so fast?
This reminds me of two things. First is something that i overheard from my aunt from Shanghai, she said, "the standard of living of Shanghai is so high that we don't spend our money in hundreds anymore, we are spending it in thousands". I can share the same sentiment as her now. Then the other thing that i thought of was the salary of an average Chinese, which is just around 1k to 2k+ per month, some are even lower than 1k.
Compare their monthly salary and the amount of money some people spend in one shopping, I can finally understand and realise the severity of the problem of income discrepancy in China and in the world. Though i have been reading a lot of reports and statistics on the problem of income discrepancy in newspapers, magazines and on news, I never did feel so awestruck by the figures as this personal encounter that i experienced now.
I think we should really be more spendthrift now. Seriously. Like what my dad always tells me: 该花钱的时候就要花，但不要乱花。
One more thing for tag: hope you can keep on pursuing ur dream, do make a difference to the world. thx
