- I am shocked to hear that a person with your knowledge and education could so readily abandon your rights to equality.
Allow me to remind you that you are a free person and your equality rights are guaranteed under the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights of which China is a signatory.
Perhaps you may ask then why the rich have so much and so powerful, while the poor suffers day in day out. The answer is that; you have chosen the government which allows people to become rich and others to be poor. You have the right to demand the government to return to the original socialist system by which everyone is equal. There should be no rich people. Everyone equal. If you can't change the system or government, then that government is unlawful and does not have support of the people, but no matter what happens, you are still a free person with equal rights as everyone around you.
You can say that the guarantee of equal rights is nothing but an empty declaration on paper, but nevertheless, the government has signed and agreed to it, so you are being cheated. Insist on equal rights, instead of abandoning it.
