Do you know what a local tyrant is

1, usually refers to a person who is rich, but not subjective, showing great personal wealth (different from the nouveau riche).

2. "Local tyrants" used to refer to those bad people who used their wealth to bully the village. Local tyrants are well-known in China, which is related to the land reform and the "fighting local tyrants to divide the fields" during the revolutionary period. At that time, local tyrants were the targets of dictatorship and attack, because they were rich and heartless, exploiting poor peasants and destroying the revolution were their labels.

Now it is also used to satirize those who are rich and like to show off, especially those who pretend to be poor and show off their wealth.

Some people call people who are more willing to spend money than themselves "local tyrants".

The word local tyrant is widely used by gamers, which means playing games with great equipment, not derogatory.

Second, the classification of local tyrants

1, ordinary local tyrant: wearing a big and thick gold chain.

2, literary local tyrants: driving bumper cars to and from work. Hmm. How interesting

3, two local tyrants: show off one, this is a ring of 20,000 euros!

Third, foreign media see local tyrants in China: Many rich people are stupid and have poor taste.

They are "local tyrants"-"dirt" means rustic and rude, while luxury means luxury and domineering-they are "Beverly Hills people" in China.

There is a widely circulated joke: a young man asked the Zen master, "I am rich, but I am not happy." What should I do? "The translator replied," What is' wealth'? "The young man replied," I have millions of bank deposits and three houses in downtown Beijing. "Can this be called money?" The Zen master silently held the young man's hand. The young man suddenly realized, "Master, are you trying to tell me that I should be grateful to others?" The Zen master said, "No … I mean local tyrants. Can we be friends?"

This not-so-funny joke struck a chord with the middle class in China. This is a fast-growing group in China, and its number has exceeded 300 million. With the lifestyle of the middle class becoming more and more common, the habit of showing off wealth is becoming more and more common.

Many people in China will say that they are the opposite of local tyrants: they are literate, fashionable and despise profligate consumption.
