Can China learn from Singapore to make English its first language and democratize? I am Chinese and also a pragmatist, and I think China will never surpass the US if it doesn’t do this. Do you agree with me?
https://qr.ae/pvH66S No, I do not agree with you. China is nothing like Singapore. Their circumstances dictated completely different directions for their countries. And why would China need to make English…

穷人乍富，腆胸叠肚
老话说的好，“穷人乍富，腆胸叠肚”，说的是穷人一夜暴富后的状态，以前见到别人总是卑躬屈膝，点头哈腰，有钱了挺着胸叠着肚，走起路来相当别扭。这句俗语还有另外一层意思，那就是有些人没有驾驭财富的能力，一夜暴富后他无所适从，除了吃喝玩乐没有别的追求，很快那些财富就被他挥霍一空。古往今来类似的事情比比皆是，小到平民百姓，大到王侯将相，从天而降的财富往往使人迷失自我，最终落得个人财两空，甚至性命难保的下场。李嘉诚说：“一个人有了钱如何去花，可以体现出他的境界”。有人用这些钱做投资，结果钱越来越多，他逐渐走上人生巅峰；有人挥霍无度，坐吃山空，结果家底很快败光。由俭入奢易，由奢入俭难，树倒猢狲散，身边的朋友全都离去，想说话都找不到人倾听。那些人在他风光无限时像苍蝇样围在身边，失意落寞时消失得无影无踪。人世间的大起大落莫过如此，心里的悲哀又有谁知。一夜暴富成了有钱人，这些钱对他们来说来的太容易了，因此不懂得珍惜。想方设法花钱，用来补偿以前遭受的苦难，不会理财，也没有驾驭财富的能力，这些钱原本就不属于他们，被生活打回原形是迟早的事。用流行的话来说，“你永远赚不到，超出你认知范围外的钱。凭运气赚来的，早晚都会凭实力输回去。”
