贫富差距是现在中国最大的社会问题，随着中国的发展，这件事越来越严重。特别是由于中国的发展和快速的经济增长，成为了亚洲最不平等的社会，而且世界上最不平等的社会之一。这个贫富差距问题在中国农村和发达地区，而生活在上海或者深圳的国际城市的贫富差距特别明显。作为学习中文的学生，可以了解中国的社会问题对我们很严重，因为这件事也可能影响我们。

因此，这个视频会包括从前毛泽东时代到现在的中国贫富差距问题。一开始是从历史的角度来确定这个不平等问题开始出现的原因和时间里。在快速发展以前，中国的社会很平等。在毛泽东时代，中国保持很平等。是因为毛泽东政策的共产主义重视平等讨厌贪婪。在邓小平成为了中国领导，而开始通过发展经济特区如改革中国经济或帮企业家提供更多建立私营企业的自由，因此中国的收入不平等急剧升高。跟着这些改革之后，富人越来越福，穷人越来越穷，因此造成中国城市里和城市之间的贫富差距。到了今天，我们以香港来案例研究，示例省市的收入不平等和结果对香港老百姓的影响。在香港，最严重的问题就是添非常高的房价，因此让了香港老百姓承到贫富差距。认识到问题和时间跨度后，我们会介绍一片新闻，有媒体表达对这件事的问题，跟组采访一些中国学生来更理解他们对这件事的问看法。我们总结了对未来的影响，我们分享一些建议来帮助中国的收入不平等的问题。包括加入富人税收以创造更平等的资源分配，而给穷人跟多社会支持以脱贫。总之来说，由于收入不平等不单影响很多中国人民的日常，而且威胁到CCP稳定，这对中国需要解决。如果没有好好主义，可能会带来可怕的后果。

Wealth inequality is currently one of China’s largest social issues, and continues to grow in severity and importance as China develops. Specifically due to China’s unique development path and hence rapid economic growth, it has become the most unequal society in Asia, and one of the most unequal in the world. This wealth inequality issue is particularly visible between China’s rural and developed areas, as well as in the gap between the rich and the poor living in international cities such as Shanghai or Shenzhen. As students studying Chinese, it is important for us to understand the societal issues that plague China, as one day they may also affect us.

This video thus covers the issue of wealth inequality in China spanning from the pre-Mao era up until present day. It initially takes a historical perspective determining the causes and time periods this income inequality issue began to arise. Prior to its rapid development, China began as a very equal society. Under Mao, China remained quite equal, as the communist-nature of Mao’s policies stressed values such as equality and resented greed. After Deng Xiaoping became China’s leader and began privatizing China’s economy through reforms such as developing special economic zones, or providing entrepreneurs more freedom to build private businesses, was when China’s income inequality skyrocketed. Following these reforms, the rich got richer, and the poor became poorer, thus creating both wealth inequality within and between cities in China. This video then progresses to outline the various effects to which this problem has created in China. Arriving at the present-day period, we then use Hong Kong as a case study to demonstrate one city where income inequality is particularly rampant and the consequences of such an issue for Hong Kongers. In Hong Kong, one of the worst issues is the astronomical house prices that also have accompanied growing rural to city inequality. After establishing the issue and its timespan, we move on to present a news clip to offer one example of the media’s portrayal of the issue, and following that, interview several native Chinese students to better understand a local perspective on this issue. We conclude with the implications for the future, and suggest possible interventions that may be used to mitigate income inequality in China. Some of the interventions were proposed were increasing taxation for the rich to create more equal resource distribution, and giving the poor social support to help them out of poverty. In all, since income inequality not only affects the daily life of many Chinese civilians, but also threatens CCP stability, it is definitely an important issue for China to solve and one that without proper attention, could bring dire consequences.
