It means the same as " Money talks" in western saying. But that guy you mentioned seem to be too superficial for me, as a Chinese. He might be born after 1980 that most chinese family could have only child and tends to be spoiled and materilism. Compared with 16 yrs ago, a lot of ellite graduate students from China I met while studying in the US, their talkings were always in their studying and cultures and sometimes about each one's hobbies. Don't tell me you are studying in the US...<br><b>References : </b><br> There is an old and popular chinese saying about money " Having money ( a lot ) enables the ghose to do any favors you want".

China has many many many populations since forever. During the communism and the era of kingdoms..as you can see on movies, the rich are very rich, the poor are horrible. Then there was this one time when parents can only have 1 child. Those with more than one often shipped their children to other countries. Many families are scattered. Mainly, when they got out of china, they have nothing but clothes. And how to survive in a foreign land when you do not speak the language and know nothing?Work and get the money to survive, as much as they can. The chinese outside china are mainly survivors (most of them)...their struggles to survive is being taught to their children and generations. Firecrackers and maybe you mean "Lion dance"..is a part of our cultures and traditions. Just like some spend money buying cotumes for halloween or buy trees, ornaments, presents during christmas. This is only a brief explaination though. Cheers.<br><b>References : </b><br> Well, as a chinese inborn, maybe i could help a little. China has many many many populations since forever.

And i have this another classmate, once i told him that i am collecting money around the world (banknote literally), then you know what he told me, "everyone is collecting money". What does money mean to them? It means something to them.. What is money meant to the Chinese?

These are new vehicles only. Check with your dealer for details. Insurance is based on how much it costs them to repair the vehicle. They don't give a hoot about environmental issues.<br><b>References : </b><br> Some states do offer incentives to hybrid buyers, also E85 buyers. These are new vehicles only.
