I'd just like to point out that the saddest/maddest families are the most 'expensive' and 'cheap' ones.

who did this? there is no way in hell can a average family in china spend 1000+ yuan on just food.

and there are even bread rolls on the table lol wtf??? if Chinese buy bread, it won't be a roll.

in a western country, i say spending anywhere between 300 ~ 500 dollars is quite normal for a middle -class family of 4 or more ppl.
