learn to depend on yourself

Recently an issue happened in Hefei province of China attracted my attention. Tao rukun, a 17 year-old boy, hanker a girl called Zhou yan. However, he was rejected by the girl, which made him so angry that he made an extremely action. He poured oil to the girl and set a fire to her, causing a very serious result. The girl was badly disfigured. Worse still, she now has become psychotic disorder, which hit badly to the whole family. What made me angry most was that since the boy’s father owns great power, the boy’s family compelled the girl to sign the contact in order to escape from the law responsibility. They will stop offering the money for curing the girl if they refuse to do so. Now the case is still being investigated. The girl’s family was so poor that they cannot afford the money to go to the court and pay for the medical bill.

This case now has raised great concern in society. At present a new word, guan er dai, have emerged on the Internet in China, which means that the offspring of the government official. Relying on their family’s power, they act without considering the moral and even the law. In my opinion, there is nothing to show off if one only depends on his family’s power and money. No matter how powerful your family is, the money or the status is not obtained through your own efforts. A wealthy family means that you may be offered more opportunities on the way to success. It does not mean you can spend money or play power as you like. I think life like that is meaningless. You may not be able to choose how rich your family is, however, you can choose what life you want. Only money or power pursued through your own efforts can be respected by others. Always depending on family without any efforts will result in nothing but a bad reputation and an insignificance life.
