6. Privileged Class


First read this story.
Privilege is everywhere is Chinese society. My school, even though it's the top academic school in the region has a fair number of rich boys who are neither smart or try hard. A few are disrespectful and disruptive. They are scattered in a few classes, and are not liked by the students whose classes they pollute. I have heard the Li Gang line from students regarding these kids.
Government officials, successful business people, and certain professionals are wealthy, and they like to flaunt it. They have expensive cars, lovely homes, and spiffy lifestyles. Commoners resent them, and the country could be in for trouble if the economy fails to lift everyone up financially.
