Second generation to receive lessons in life

BEIJING - Hundreds of children of the wealthy, or fu'erdai in Chinese, will receive training in Beijing next month on how to become as successful as their parents.

The three-day training class, which is due to start on July 16, is being jointly sponsored by the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and the China Association for the Promotion of Non-Governmental Sci-tech Enterprises (CAPNSE).

Fu'erdai refers to the second-generation children of the wealthy whose companies blossomed during the period of reform and opening up.
