Count your blessings, Beijingers

What's the matter with Beijingers? Why are they so miserable? The reason I ask is because a survey has revealed that 56 percent of Beijing citizens claim they are unhappy.

Only 23 percent admit they are happy, 2.5 percent say they are very happy and a paltry 0.08 percent of Beijing folk admit to being "extremely happy".

Now, I don't want to sound like a patronizing foreigner, but I think Beijingers have to wake up and smell the coffee. Good grief, things could be much worse.
