Re:Chinese Students Want To Know: How Do I Get Rich? by liuliu on Tuesday March 03, 2009 @04:31AM (#501245)
I believe that this group of Chinese students are brilliant as I used to be one of them. They all have goals, some goals are even ambitious. They want to help poor people, make a more balance world. The thing of why they want to make money by making illusion because they see money as a method to achieve their goal, that to say, the process to make money is irrelevant to what they really want to do. They just want to get rich quickly and then distribute the wealth. Of course now I know that it is a naive thought but many still believe this kind of financial freedom. They have to be given more time to figure out that by distributing money will do nothing to the world as this happened all the time. By making real thing, through value creation, in the process of making huge amount of money, the world become much better.

Your thoughts are very nice and I know there are many that think like you. Unfortunately, the path to riches, as these students depict, almost never leads to wealth redistribution.

I live in Shanghai. All I see the new wealthy do is park their cars illegally in the bicycle lanes.
