Anyone can fail in 'competition of family background' (2)

Ma is a direct beneficiary of his family's connections. Without the protection of his parents, his rights and interests were immediately encroached on by other people with connections. It seems that only people with strong backgrounds and connections can "laugh last" in such a "snobbish" society.

Children of government officials can boast most useful connections. Ma was admitted into a key provincial-level senior high school, though his score was 100 points below the school's enrolment mark. More than 10,000 yuan of sponsorship fees played a role, but what mattered most were his parents' positions as powerful government officials. In China, power is much more useful than wealth, and the public are increasingly distrustful of officials. The promotion of any young cadres will raise public speculations about their backgrounds.
