Chapter 62 Question 8: Do people hate the rich or the corrupt?

I remember that in 2008, a piece of news about the "father of hybrid rice" Yuan Longping planning to buy a car spread in the major media. We might as well analyze it carefully and find that almost all of these comments are positive support in the form of "a bowl of tofu, a bowl of tofu".One netizen’s words were quite impressive. He commented on the “father of hybrid rice” who “already has six or seven cars at home”: “Old Yuan even has seven or eight small private jets! " Mr. Yuan is easy-going and enthusiastic about public welfare. He has won the admiration and respect of the Chinese people for a long time with his persistence and pursuit of scientific research, as well as his unassuming and low-key way of doing things.But today, Mr. Yuan's "personality encounter" in "Grassroots Fate" may be the envy of the rich in China.Don't you see, batch after batch of Chinese rich people have encountered too many cold eyes, envy and blame from "hating the rich" on the road to wealth paradise.And when they think back to their "fearful" journey of creating wealth, these rich people still often "have lingering fears".

Therefore, we have raised a realistic and serious question of how the rich in China can achieve harmony between "wealth" and "humanity" and "cause and effect complement each other". Some people say that no matter in the economically developed Western European countries or in China, which has been influenced by Eastern civilization for thousands of years, to become a rich person must first learn to be a "human being".This reminds people of the words that Premier Wen once said during his inspection tour in Guangdong, "Entrepreneurs should have moral blood flowing from them".

Sincerely! Premier Wen's elaboration of the dialectical relationship between the "social obligations" of the rich and the "moral bottom line" of "entrepreneurs" is so incisive, it is in order to "clear the clouds and see the light" of the haze in the minds of the wealthy Chinese who are still in the period of social transformation . We know that a society in which people are rich in thought and rich in heart must be a progressive society, and a society that hates the rich and hates the rich must be an unhealthy society. In modern society, "people think rich" may be due to the "nature" of a "social person", and the "pursuing wealth" of the general public is even more natural.The common people still have a lot of confusion on the issue of dealing with the rich.

For example, for some special groups of people, they get rich by relying on "special channels and resources" and even violate the laws of the country and the simple values ​​in the hearts of ordinary people. Of course, this should be collectively "hatred of the rich" by the whole society.As a result, the common people naturally gritted their teeth with hatred when they saw the rich man being arrested, and even thought that every arrest "should be killed". Professor Wu Jinglian, a famous Chinese economist, once pointed out that there are more "hating corruption" mentality than blind "hating the rich" mentality in the society.This remark makes sense.

We might as well assume that if everyone in our society "talks about wealth and turns pale", or everyone "envies wealth like hatred", then in the "context" of deformed thinking that "wealth is fierce", our future will be impossible. imagine! In short, experts believe that we should strictly distinguish these two "problems of wealth" and guide them correctly, so as to form a "thinking of treating wealth" in the whole society in which everyone respects wealth, everyone pursues wealth, and everyone respects wealth , this is what we should advocate and respect.
