When Huang Guangyu was the richest man, there was a photo of him drinking tea that has recently been imitated by many on social media. At that time, Huang Guangyu was full of vigor, and his gaze revealed a sharpness that looked down on the world.

Why do people imitate Huang Guangyu? I think maybe everyone is a bit nostalgic for the era when grassroots could become the richest, the era of booming economy.
Back then, making big money didn't require much education; in Wang Jianlin's words: Tsinghua and Peking University are not as good as being bold.
Many tycoons were born in the rough, didn't attend good universities, or even didn't go to college.
For example, Huang Guangyu, Yang Guoqiang of Country Garden, He Xiangjian of Midea, and a bunch of coal bosses.
Why could they make big money without much schooling at that time? Because many profitable industries had no educational barriers, especially bulk commodities like coal, or real estate development—really, as long as you're bold and can secure resources, you're good to go.
This kind of era is gone and will not return; now, the threshold for making big money is getting higher and higher. Compared to real estate, the internet and mobile internet require higher educational qualifications.
Looking further ahead, in the AI era, the role of education becomes even more prominent.
Look at the current AI elites; they are all top students—Liang Wenfeng of Deepseek, Tang Jie of Zhipu, Yang Zhilin of KIMI—there are no more grassroots figures.
In the future, grassroots will have no chance, and opportunities for ordinary people will become fewer and fewer. Education is not useless; it is becoming even more useful. #以太坊基金会重组降本
