I was born in a small county ranked eighteenth in the region, branded as a first-level poverty county by the state. When times were good, my parents together could only earn about 10,000 yuan a year. Their expenses each year would easily run into several thousand. Our family only had one self-built flat, which was worth around 20,000 at the time, and we only had savings of two or three thousand that we dared not withdraw. We rarely had a proper meal with meat in a month. How do you calculate parents who dedicated their entire lives to support two college students?
This hypothetical scenario is almost as ridiculous as imagining wealthy people eating braised pork every meal...
