Nowadays in Chinese society, everyone knows that "a higher official has big opportunities, a minor official has small opportunities, no official there will be no opportunity".

In the corrupted Chinese society, the officials with important positions take advantage of their power and use their power to make money. All newspapers have the same kind of report almost everyday. Recently, "World Journal" reported that the head of Fujian province's Industrial and Commercial Bank of China vigorously took money from company's funding at the convenience of his position. Finally he could not escape the punishment of the law when found out.

As for minor officials, because their power is limited, they are not bold enough either. They could only take advantage as their position allow them to.

The average people at the bottom of all social classes would never have a chance. In today's Chinese society, especially rural society, many people could not afford to go to school, many people have to work to feed themselves even before they become adult, and many people stay sick just because they cannot afford to see the doctor. On a small island near my hometown Fuzhou, Fujian, there is a young man called Chen Bin. Because his family was poor, his only complete the nine-year compulsory education, which means middle school education. Then he could not afford the expensive high school, nor the college he dreamed about. Later he left his hometown and came to Fuzhou, found a job as a porter at a private working site. His monthly salary of 600 RMB could barely feed him and save a little for his parents. In such a poor environment, with the long-term malnutrition, he got the no-cure disease -- HBV. This is a huge disaster for him. He could not get enough money to receive medical treatment. Later he became extremely weak, and could not continue the job as porter. He wanted to find a non-laborious job, but it was too difficult for him without any relationship, no health certificate, and not much education. He tried his luck but reality is reality. He had no way out except to go back working as porter which could claim his life any time.
