My Chinese Dream
----Everyone Owns a House
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Martin Luther King had a dream that one day black men could be equally treated because all men were created equal. Today, I have a dream, a Chinese dream that everyone could have a house.
Have you ever seen a movie called Finding Mr. Right? The Chinese version is “北京遇上西雅图”. Yeah, you know. The leading female actress really liked the male lead’s home in Seattle. She was surprised to learn how expensive his house was as it only cost 500,000 dollars which is about 4 million Yuan. This amount only allows you to buy 2 toilets on the Second Ring Road of Beijing.
In China, generally speaking, a house will cost 74 years’ income of an average Chinese. However, according to the United Nations, a reasonable price of a house should be an average man’s income of 3-6 years. What a sharp contrast!
