[@weiskl887]

LOL jokes aside Money is everything as well as nothing. The deeper meaning to this culture of money is the experience of hardship, poverty and just to fill the stomach. While i also experience the same thing i got to experience first hand if you don't have money our family literally were only eating vegetables and salty fish for meals. Its more of a community getting together to gather enough money so that their son's can get married as well as a small sum of seed money to feed the family. Later on as the economy gets better and upward social mobility becomes much easier the Younger generation no longer experience Poverty and started to question as to why Money is so important. As for moving up the social ladder and becoming a Doctor well what is wrong with moving up the social ladder? But for those who grew up in poverty its the quickest way and ticket to provide a better life and future. But as we our Wages and quality of life goes higher younger generation not faced with the same living experience and condition wouldn't understand. They think when they are born life is so comfortable. But again Money isn't everything. However without it you cannot even donate to charity even if you want to. Look at the current condition today with the Pandemic out of control. My heart aches when i see many desperate people selling food on the streets trying to get by just to ensure their kids get fed. Its about how you choose to spend Money when you have it and its about survival when you don't.

Very true for some families. People want their children to get into a profession to take other people's money as much as possible, along with having prestige and power. It's not about finding a calling or what the child would enjoy doing in life. It's about the responsibility of earning and taking care of the family. Money, prestige and power are considered the main factors required to secure stability and prosperity for the family.

The Chinese obsession with wealth is ingrained into the culture. In my time, which is a long time ago, we learned how to gamble before even stepping foot in school.
