相信许多人都听说过这个谚语,“富不过三代”。而实际上,中国这条谚语几乎在世界上任何一个国家和任何一种语言中都是广为流传的。我做了一个试验,将中国香港、新加坡和雅加达的富有人群作为我的问卷调查对象,把这条谚语读给他们并询问其是否曾经听过这种说法。他们无一例外的都很了解这句话的意思。那么,接下来的问题就是:这条谚语可以被打破吗? I believe many people have heard of this saying, “rich for three generations.” In fact, the Chinese proverb is widely circulated in almost every country and language in the world. I did a trial where the rich people in Hong Kong, Singapore and Jakarta, China were the subjects of my questionnaire and read the proverb to them and asked if they had ever heard that. They all know the meaning of this sentence without exception. Then, the next question is: Can this proverb be broken?
