(Dan Tri) - The latest trend among "rich kids" in China is to be willing to spend money to build a classy "elite" image, beautify their profiles, and polish their images.
Pay for "fake" experiences
Shirley L. (22 years old) is a Chinese international student studying at New York University. She has more than 7.2 million followers on social media. Shirley attracts attention by regularly sharing about the life of an international student at the famous school.
Recently, Shirley posted a video of herself giving a speech on the topic of young leaders' vision at the headquarters of a very famous intergovernmental organization.

This initially impressed the Chinese online community and they praised Shirley as a perfect idol, beautiful, good at studying, actively participating in charity activities and appearing at international events. Many Chinese teenagers consider Shirley to be the "elite of the elite".
Still, some question the authenticity of the experience. In fact, being inside the headquarters of some famous organizations, even standing on the podium, are all experiences that can be "bought".
Many organizations now offer paid tours where visitors can tour their headquarters and learn about the basic working processes of large organizations.
For example, in Shirley's case, she could have attended a hypothetical meeting in the conference room of that intergovernmental organization, and then stood up to speak at the hypothetical meeting.
According to the SCMP (China) news, the cost of visiting the headquarters of the intergovernmental organization that Shirley went to "give a speech" is currently 26 USD. To experience participating in a simulated meeting at the organization's headquarters, visitors need to pay an additional 165 USD.
Shirley's viral video of her speech at the headquarters of a famous intergovernmental organization has become a controversial topic among the Chinese media and public. In the face of the rising controversy, Shirley has remained silent.
According to SCMP news, the latest trend among the "rich kids" in China is to be willing to spend money to build an "elite" image, making others admire their talent, education, and experience.
Pay to intern at a prestigious organization
Xin X., a social media star who graduated from Peking University (China), has also caused controversy when sharing her experience as an intern for a world-famous intergovernmental organization.
She shared her experience as an intern at a famous intergovernmental organization, which initially drew admiration from the Chinese online community. Many asked her to share her secret to getting an internship at a famous international organization.

However, according to Chinese media, currently, some companies in China have grasped the emerging needs of the "rich kids" youth group.
They launched a service to help customers find internship opportunities at famous organizations. The purpose is to help customers improve their profiles and polish their images.
The cost of getting an unpaid internship at some prestigious organizations is up to more than 30,000 yuan (more than 100 million VND). This cost is used to pay the intermediary agency.
In addition, these companies also provide additional services such as helping customers find accommodation during their internship; helping customers with some paperwork and procedures; training some skills to help customers quickly adapt to the internship position in a prestigious organization.
In fact, paying to intern at prestigious organizations is a common phenomenon among many young people in the "rich kids" group in China. They are willing to pay to intern at prestigious financial and technology corporations to improve their resumes.
A consultant who specializes in supporting Chinese people who want to study abroad or intern at foreign organizations said: "Currently, many students are willing to spend from 20,000 to 50,000 yuan (from 70 to 175 million VND) to intern at prestigious companies, to help their resumes become more impressive."
Today's "rich kids" in China pursue the image of "the elite of the elite" by spending money to polish their image and beautify their profiles.
This is gradually being mentioned more and more by the Chinese media, making the public better understand the level of competition and pressure of young people in the country of a billion people.
