#socialvalue

In western cultures, asking people’s salary is usually considered very rude. In China, especially in rural areas where the concept of privacy is relatively weak, it’s not rare for someone to get asked this question by their relatives and friends—some are curious, some want to compare, and some judge your social status. The question also reflects a social value system based on material wealth.

拼爹, literally means “competition of dad”, refers to a phenomenon where young people rely on their parents instead of their own competence to compete in the society. Some people think this is injustice because people who have a better family background have access to more resources and it’s easier for them to succeed. Meanwhile others argue that this is the natural process of the development of the society and people who don't have a good family background need to accept the reality and work harder in order to reach a better position. I know that this phenomenon doesn’t exist only in China, and the degree of competition varies in different societies, but I’m curious to know how it is like to live in a society that values more equality than competition.

Everyone tells you stories of successful people and their extraordinary lives, but no one tells you the story of spending an “ordinary” life doing what makes you happy.
