1. Monthly Salary over 20000 RMB
2. Do two kinds of regular physical exercises
3. At least having a two-bedroom apartment
4. Having one or two cars
5. Having at least two bosom friends
6. Your workplace is not limited at the office
7. Having at least two hours leisure time per day
8. Having two ways to entertain himself/herself
9. Low carbon lifestyle. You are willing to double your expense for environment protection
10. Having his/her own fashion brands (at least 2 LV or Chanel products)

To me, it's just like a untouchable dream. I don't have an apartment, a car, a LV or Chanel product. Most importantly, my monthly salary is less than 5000 RMB. I love low carbon lifestyle but I won't spend too much money for it. Everyday I go to work by bus.

What makes me happy is that I have more than two bosom friends.

My salary is small too but I have many good friends. One friend even lends me a car for me to use since 2003, He even pays for its roadtax and insurance cover. Now I'm staying in one of the government houses in Putrajaya allocated for its employees. I'm thinking of opting for early retirement, so I'm repairing my low-cost house that I bought in 1990. I need to think also where to put my present old books as the rooms are too small to accommodate. Probably I need to donate them to the National Library of Malaysia.

Wan,

Your friend must be very rich. He should have several cars. So you have been driving it for 10 years? Could you introduce him/her to me? I'd like him to lend me a car, haha.

Although we have no blood relation, he from Hakka and his wife a Cantonese, but both he and his wife I treat like a family, and he treats me like his elder brother. It's an old car but still functions very well. Easily can go 160km/h on a highway.

Wan,

You really have a good friend. Maybe, he is a family member in your mind.

Perhaps we can spread this kind of feeling and attitude to others.

Yes, but honestly I won't give a car to anybody because I don't have a car and I don't afford to buy one.

It's no about lending or giving someone a car but rather spreading the words inculcating us how to care for us as well as others. For my friend he has three cars thus he gives me one. During Chinese New Year, sometimes we have gathering for dinner.

Sometimes when I'm in Guangzhou or Shenzhen, I would invite some friends over dinner, and they will invite their friends too to share things and thoughts The crowd shouldn't be too large less I may have a big hole in my pocket. We share information and establish human networks. Thus they create contact hub for them to move on with their lives. With this, we may create a circle of friends, including helping their business. I wish with this tiny effort, I could lighten some of the heavy burdens they may have.
