Besides, the process of job hunting imposes a big strain on their precarious finance.
By one account, printing resumes costs 105 yuan ($15), mailing 25 yuan, a formal suit 450 yuan and communication 250 yuan.
If you include travel and accommodation for cross-country interviews, the cost can balloon to thousands of yuan.
And given the competitiveness of the job market, employers do not reimburse any of that cost yet they often invite a legion of hopefuls for face-to-face interviews out of which they pick only a handful.
The financial strain, coupled with psychological stress, makes job searching a painful experience.
Against this backdrop you throw a plethora of news stories about rich kids who flaunt their designer wear, race cars, or overseas stints and start-ups, let alone negative coverage such as the hit-and-run incidents, and you'll understand why the "I-hate-the-rich campaign" is running rampant like a wild fire.
This is a dangerous sign of the deepening rift that cuts across our society.
Granted, there is no ideal society anywhere, any time. A high-growth period like China's comes with the natural corollary of a growing wealth gap. It's unavoidable.
However I often comfort myself as I travel around the country because even in the remotest places I notice discernible progress.
Even the poorest have improved their lives in the past two or three decades.
