Features: In the 1950s, "wealth" was passion. The newly risen China and her children were full of enthusiasm, forging ahead with high spirits, and money was an unnecessary restraint. In the 1970s, "wealth" was struggle. Strive to create a fiery sky and a vibrant landscape, and money became a battlefield for testing awareness. In the 1980s, "wealth" was reform. Practice was the sole criterion for testing truth, and money squeezed into the hard principle of development. In the 1990s, "wealth" was combination. The busy, developing China was creating, reforming, experimenting, and combining various liberated elements. Passion and rationality, desires and confusion, restlessness and calmness, fame and cost, knowledge and innovation, conservatism and openness, indulgence and diligence—money was one of the markers of this combination. Today, wealth is choice. Because of choice, you can have more material possessions, comfort, happiness, and freedom, and become the person you want to be. Because of choice, you can also live a harder life, filled with confusion and solitude, or progress with nostalgia. Today’s money is more diverse and intangible.
The "Rich Dad" series, a seemingly ordinary financial book, stirred up a huge controversy at the dawn of the 21st century. The purple global storm it unleashed sparked discussions on the essence of wealth, wealth and civilization, wealth and humanity, wealth and systems, wealth and education, among other themes. From the West to the East and back again, it transformed from a bestseller into a classic. You can say: "How can I bow my head and serve money, when it robs me of joy?" You can also say: "The stock market is falling again, housing prices are rising again, jobs are disappearing again, the cheese is slipping away again, and the city is still developing." You can say: "The countryside is getting farther away, the Earth is getting hotter, the cost is getting higher, where can I find a place to settle?" You can also say: "China is gaining more confidence, its voice is growing louder, and the world peace framework is becoming more balanced!"
What is wealth? What does it have to do with me? Perhaps without the awkwardness of financial management, the arrogance of wealth, the dazzling allure of money, the rationality and power of financial literacy, the bubbles and substance of the economy, the temper of money, the rules and breaking of financial management, and the choices and actions merely as carriers, as exchanges, or as companions. What is needed is the process, the time, and the discussion.
Wealth, financial management, the financial environment, the utility and end of wealth—fairness, efficiency, development, systems, civilization, and the nation. In the end, this book is just a starting point, a convenience, a story you can forget after reading. No need to be angry or scold, nor to worship it blindly. But this function is enough.
Wealth tomorrow will be an identity. It will be your identity among others, a nation’s identity in the world, a process’s identity with the ultimate, and the inheritance of identity. In this sense, wealth is a kind of humanity: calm or restless, fearful or greedy, kind or evil—it can coexist in the history of wealth, glory and shame, short-lived and enduring, happiness and suffering. Financial management is truly the management and tempering of oneself.
