Tuhao for want of a better word
Tuhao, netizens' favorite word to describe rich people with ill manners and poor values, has entered the Standard Dictionary of Modern Chinese during its latest revision. The word, according to the dictionary, now means "people who are rich in money but poor in moral awareness and correct values". The definition reflects a serious social problem in China where many people have become rich but are still found wanting when it comes to moral and social values, says an article on jschina.com.cn. Excerpts:
Tuhao literally translates as "local tyrant". It's a term that people used to derogatorily refer to wealthy and powerful landlords in rural areas who bullied the poor before 1949, when the People's Republic of China was founded.
