2.Nowadays it is a trend in China to buy things looking nice,especially when people decide to buy something as a gift for their friends.Doing so has automatically triggered a rapid development in packaging industry,but also caused a huge waste in our national resources.
A good example is to buy a bag of Chinese tea.The tea itself may cost more than 500CNY but it includes nearly 200CNY,for the package.Does it mean high quality when you buy goods in an attractive case?The answer is"perhaps"."Perhaps"here means 50% of a chance to buy something really good and the other 50% of the chance is to buy something crap or fake.One of my friends bought a bottle of Maotai for l800CNY,"and he was absolutely embarrassed to find there to be water in it in front of his invited guests.It is crazy.
Things have become so expensive and so well packed that many companies produce fake products,playing the same trick.We should criticize the manufacturers that produce crap and fake goods,but should those companies that charge their customers a large amount of money just for the package be praised?No.As customers,we need to think about the question:why do we have to chase the superficial things when we buy things?Why do we have to buy friends expensive gifts?Are a notebook computer,an iPhone and electronics really something we have to buy as gifts to someone?Can we not change our ways to show our love to our beloved ones just with an item suitable instead of telling them how much it is worth?If we make statistics in our population,it is easy to find out that 99% of the people would express their hatred for bribery and corrupted officials.However,how many of us have ever asked ourselves a question like"What have I done in the past year that has promoted corruptions in our country?"
