What difference will be if you have money

One day when something like rice cooker or TV etc. was out of order, I might rushed to buy a new one immediately.

One day when something like rice cooker or TV etc. was out of order, I might tried to find the problem, repaired it if possible or found an alternate way to overcome the need.

The difference is simply MONEY.

Who would not like to be able to handle anything without pain? Who would not like to be able to pay without worrying?

It may be too simple about my living. When it is a country, the problem will be much greater than one can guess.

Now, everyone cannot complain the fast reaction of China government against the earthquake. Now, someone asked why this time is much better than the previous one. Even an idiot can know, it is MONEY, STUPID.

Just like America, the slow reaction to the Katrina storm catastrophe was simply MONEY. The Bush government spent too much for the wars and it was hardly to do anything instantly.

No country will not respond to any catastrophe of their people. The attitude towards foreign aids is another problem, mostly political. I do not want to confuse my topic and therefore not to cover this case.

To compare the rescue performance of the two earthquakes and deliberately or not is indicating the work for the first one was worse and it would be like pointing fingers to our beloved Premier Chou Enlai.

At that time, thirty two years ago, the economic condition of China was very bad. Even if there was no Culture Revolution, the country remained under developed.

Of course, China is not yet rich in comparison. But at least, the country can afford to pay and the people can afford to donate.

Can China be like today without Chairman Mao and Premier Chou Enlai?

Remember the old Chinese saying, "The Ancestors plant, the successors get the harvest". When you are rich, you would forget who let you have the chance to get rich.

有一日家中有用具例如電飯煲或電視失靈，我立即跑去買一個新的回來。

有一日家中有用具例如電飯煲或電視失靈，我設法去找尋如何修理或找尋代用品應付。

兩者的分別就是錢了。

誰不想有能力毫不困難地應付一切問題？誰不想有能力不用思索地支付一切費用？

我的生活問題太簡單了，以一個國家來說問題就會大到不可想像。

今日沒有人可以批評中國對地震的超級反應。今日有人問為什麼這次比上一次地震有不同的反應。即使是呆子也會知道就是錢了。

例如美國對那次風災反應較慢的原因也是錢。布什政府為戰爭花乾了錢，要即刻行動談何容易。

任何一個國家都不會對受災的人民不作出反應。至於有關外國支援是另一個多數涉及政治的問題。我不打算包括在這次的討論中。

把兩次地震救援來比較，是有意或無意地顯示第一次地震的事件是較差，更是意圖指責我們最愛的周恩來總理。

在當時，三十二年前，中國的經濟極差。就算沒有文化大革命仍然是極之落後。

當然，中國在比較上仍不是富裕。但最少國家可以付得起，而且人民也有能力捐助。

沒有毛主席及周總理，中國可以有今日嗎？

記得中國古語說【前人種樹後人收】，當閣下發達後將會忘記是誰給你建立機會。
