In China, if someone tells you outright: “I don’t care about money. I’m not interested in money. The happiest time of my life was when I was earning 800 yuan a month and riding my bike to work every day, back when I was a teacher.”
Then you’d better fucking remember this: either that person is Jack Ma, worth over 10 billion yuan,
or they’re a high-ranking official at provincial or ministerial level or above, whose food, drink, and daily expenses are all covered by the state, along with their bodyguards, secretary, and doctor. For them, money really doesn’t matter at all.

“I don’t care about money. I’m not interested in money. The happiest time of my life was when I was earning 800 yuan a month and riding my bike to work every day, back when I was a teacher!!!!
