Consumerism is almost an ideology 1. I don’t think it’ just necessarily here. Well, before, China used to be very poor and we didn’t have enough food to eat, so you may imagine when people got rich. Of course, the first of the thing, people want to eat food and wear good things. It’s really interesting, but of course, it’s so easy to forget that in living memory this country has suffered famine. But at very beginning, you have to have money to buy food, to buy house, but later on, you really need to find what really means importance to you. That’s what I think. There are more than 300 million middle class Chinese now. That’s the world’s biggest consumers of luxury goods. But it seems that even those of many who have obtained the least degrees of material wealth, want more meanings in their lives than just the chance to go shopping. Tens of millions are turning to religious faith. Near the central of Chongqing, not far from the Yangtze, a Buddha 2’s temple stands proud among the skyscrapers 3 and shopping malls. There is a temple here for nearly 1000 years. It’s amazing. It’s surrounded by skyscrapers. Sure, it’s fairly popular. It’s quite loneness, isn’t it. Tranquil 4? This is big happy Buddha.
