A Wedding Costs 6 Million RMB

I think in China, almost everyone know a kind a people we call them “coal boss”, who manage a privacy coal mine and get a lot of profit, and they are always very rich that maybe beyond your imagination. And when people mentioned about them, people always will relate it with a province of China, it is Shanxi, a province I come from. Because Shanxi is the province which is famous for producing coal. And of course, there are many coal mines in Shanxi. What I want to say is that Shanxi is not a province which only has lots of coal. I have to say that Shanxi isn’t an economic developed province, but it does mean that in other aspects it is also not as good as other provinces. However that is the point that I want to say today, if you want to know more about my hometown, I can introduce to you next time.

So why did I suddenly mention about this? Because when I surf the internet today, I read an article about a “coal boss” which really shocked me. It said that a man (whose hometown is not in Shanxi) who does some coal business in Shanxi held a very luxury wedding for his son. The whole cost that we can calculate for this wedding is 6 million RMB. He rented the whole four star hotel for two days (what’s more, he let the hotel change its all furniture to new ones), transported flowers which cost 200 thousand RMB from Guangzhou and abalones which cost 400 thousand RMB from Hong Kong. The whole feast cost 1.2 million RMB. He also held a firework display which lasted for 40 minutes. Maybe the most unbelievable thing is that he invited two very famous CCTV emcees (Lao Bi, Ju Ping) officiated at wedding. And there was also one thing that I have to mention, the new couple donated 1 million to charity.

After this wedding was reported by the media, it really caused a fierce discussion in society. Some people thought that the “coal boss” was too luxury and wanted to show who rich he was. He should donate the money which he cost in the wedding to the charity. But some people do not think so. They thought that he had the right to spend him own money and who to spend their money.

In my opinion, if the man got this money legally, however I thought he did, because if he got this money illegally, he may not dare show this. This action can be acceptable for me, but if I was at that state, I would not do that. Because he did this based on his ability which he can held, we have to say to he is really very rich. But I think everyone want to held a perfect wedding, and I think every normal families will also do their best to make their children have a good wedding. I think the percentage of which they (the normal families and this man) cost on the wedding of their whole poverty can be the same. The only difference between them is their whole poverty. So is it wrong that he is rich. What’s more, the new couple also donated 1 million to the charity, so will you donate money when you get married? And you may say they are rich, but who said that only the rich have the component to donate? I think the point is not the amount of money, but the will that you want to help others. The new couple really did this. And they donated 1 million RMB, which was 1/6 of the whole cost for their wedding. And Bill was once the richest man in the world; he even had a whale in his villa, because he can afford this.

So, I think this action can be acceptable for me.
