Li didn't back down and responded by saying "If [seeing others] driving a racing car hurts feelings, your children are too sensitive. Besides, why should I buy another car just to serve your needs?" Unfortunately, Mr. Li was removed from the chat shortly after responding. The incident has sparked a massive social media debate over whether or not Mr. Li should be punished just for driving a nice car.

One commenter said "The teacher and the parents who were offended have failed to teach children the right values on life and money. Can they make luxury products vanish from the world?" Another said "Wealth gap is a real thing. It's better to educate children to face it rather than castigate others for driving sports cars to show off their wealth."

We agree with the commenters and believe parents should do a better job of educating their children on how wealth works and the benefits of working hard.
