The internet has solved most problems that the article is referring to; but not for everybody. From his &quot;village of mountains, rivers and trees&quot; he could create the next facebook on his laptop (or even something less ambitious). The reason why he does not do that, has nothing to do with a lack of &quot;hukou&quot; privilege. When he says: &quot;It is unfair&quot;, he is fixating himself on a problem that he cannot solve, instead of moving on. Seriously, the &quot;hukou&quot;-holding Chinese are as ignorant as he is. They will not create the next facebook either. There is nothing to learn from them or their schools. That is what him and 99% of the world&#x27;s population don&#x27;t seem to see. With the internet around, location does not matter. You can make exactly as much money as your intelligence allows you to. That means: almost nothing in terms of money for the &quot;hukou&quot; guys.
