The curse of excess money

A gang beat Wu Tianhao, a high school student, to death in Changchun, Jilin province, on Oct 8. The hoodlums were allegedly hired by the wealthy parents of Hao Zhipeng, a student of another school, after he had a tiff with Wu during a basketball game. Though the case is still under investigation, netizens' anger against the rich family deserves our attention, says an article on rednet.cn. Excerpts:

Wu was the son of poor laid-off workers, and his untimely death is a tragedy not only for his family, but also society. The alleged abettor, Hao's mother, is reported to have shouted that "money can solve everything".
