I definitely disagree on the theory "you can succeed in anywhere if you work hard". Despite other factors, it largely depends on the suitability of the task you take. For instance, I did well in math & physics in high school but worse in chemistry, while someone else in the other way. Likewise some people can become very successful working as a communist official, but not so as a scientist.
It's hard to say which way is "fair", since the fairness itself is controversial. It ultimately depends on the stance of this society, if it's a technology-driven or not. The AU/NZ-like resource driven welfare states certainly prioritize hard labor, thus the definition of "fair" appears pretty clear. We technical people favor an environment where people can pursue and enjoy the job in a more technical depth while we never need to worry about the cost of living, which is not the case here. This point can be observed from it's immigration policy: the hard labors can gain their residency easier whereas high qualification/high-tech professionals have no advantages. It's completely different from that in Singapore/US, where the policy makers favor the latter.
When I was in PRC, I was a middle class working on technical position, envied by many even in terms of income. But everything changed when I came to NZ, hard labors earn more than me, so do business App programmers, jobless house owners, English training school owners, property agents, Chinese-oreinted tourist guide, which confused me. And it does make sense, I myself don't think I deserve high pay, as I no longer do technical development here as I used to. The sense of value defined by this society clearly tell me I'm no more than a victim/loser here, Just as how I was laughed by those successful guys here: they own houses whose value increases more than the wage I receive everyday.
So many Chinese people here describe their happy life in this way: what a paradise, where I don't need to work but just live on the houses I've invested in.
That's obviously not the place I should stay in. |
