I guess I was too wrapped up in the Olympics and real news to have noticed the new 露富 (money flaunting) trend in China. While harmless, the photos of young Chinese girls clutching hundreds of RMB notes leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Responses have ranged from hairy guys mocking the 露富 trend to young girls posting their own 露富 videos (see video below). While it is hard to imagine what is going on in these girls’ Louis Vuitton-worshiping minds, we can be sure that the man pictured on the bills they are flaunting would not be proud.

Daddy's money

No money-flaunting here

English translation:

Recently on the web, there have been a lot of mainland girls flaunting their wealth. But I can’t stand it anymore. To be honest, these rich mainland girls are immersed in a vulgar life and vulgar taste.  When they are bored, they put up some ridiculous photos to show off. This kind of showing off means nothing to me. They don’t compare to me…

I’m not posting this to show off anything, but to let those girls see clearly that good taste is the most important. Life is that simple…Oh right, to introduce myself, I come from Datong, Shanxi province. I’ve been in America for 3 years and my English is really fluent.

Here is my villa in Seattle.

My house in Seattle

It’s really spacious!

Outside there is a manmade lake

This is what I drive. Benz SLK

These are young people’s hobbies, I really like popular video games, and I have all of the Apple products.

Mainland girls show off RMB, I got USD

….

Anyway, you get the picture…now excuse me while I go vomit.
