There’s unfairness in education and employment between the “second-generation rich” and the kids from ordinary families. I personally think that the unfairness is the result of the education system and society’s catering to the rich.

Recently, the Shanghai Youth Homeland Civil Society Organization Service Center and the "Relay China" Youth Elite Association jointly launched a special survey on the "rich second generation". The aim of the survey is to learn the living and developing situation of the "rich second generation" and then bring forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions for this special group. Several days ago, the Center offered a "survey report on the 'rich second generation' group" to the China Youth Daily exclusively.

As the "rich generation" become old, questions such as "how should the 'rich second generation' accede to their family enterprises and the mass fortune they inherit?" This special group of "rich second generation" has gradually begun to attract people's attention.

What is interesting is that most interviewees don't like the words of "rich second generation", and they hope to be called the "children of entrepreneurs" or "entrepreneurs of the second generation". They think the words of "rich second generation" are negative words used by media to sensationalize news, and are misused for this group. They hope that media and public will not use them any more.

Over the past 30 years, China has seen rapid development of private enterprises, and as the first generation of entrepreneurs nears retirement age, the time for their successors to step forward is coming.

In recent years, however, the phrase "rich second generation" has hit the headlines, associated with negative news such as car races on city streets and drunk driving.
