My Comments on this articles as below:
What was the moral of the story you wanted to tell us, Mr reporter? Don't you think wearing an inexpensive shirt is just to Mr Yuan's personal liking? There's absolutely nothing more than that. Even though you might hope that the readers would be moved or impressed by his thrifty lifestyles despite his massive personal wealth.
However, the logic behind this kind of article is too simplistic and naive, because we can easily cite another article about his liking for luxury cars, which he in fact owns. Doesn't that mean he's betrayed his peasant origin and poor upbringing as a result of plashing out to get the cars he likes? No, I don't think we should read too much into such personal anecdotes and lifestyles. With his own hard-earned cash, apparently he can do whatever he likes. It’s none of our business. Unfortunately, this type of shallow journalism is getting all too familiar to Chinese readers these days?
(I hope the way I did this (cross-referencing) won't be deemed to be cheating.)
