Ugly display of wealth
A multimillionaire in Wenling county, Zhejiang province, spent 5 million yuan ($760,444) on the funeral of his mother on Friday. The funeral was held in a local school and the long funeral procession disrupted the normal life of residents, says an article in eastday.com. Excerpts:
Many common people dislike the rich not necessarily because they are jealous of their wealth. They dislike rich people because of the way the rich acquire their fortune and spend it.
