Chinese Father Pretends to be Impoverished for Two Decades, Surprises Son by Revealing Hidden Millionaire Status
"Secrets bear a 'weight'—the more you harbor, the heavier the burden. In China, a father lived under the guise of 'poverty,' concealing a significant secret from his son for two decades before finally unveiling it in a shocking revelation.
Little did the son know that his father, a masterful actor, had been a millionaire all along! In a viral Douyin video, the son disclosed that his father, who often tearfully spoke of debts, was living a modest life. However, upon graduating from university, the son discovered that his father owned a mansion while they resided in a small rural house.
The son had planned to secure a job paying RMB 6,000 (approximately RM 4,000) after graduation to help his father with debts. Facing the challenges of job hunting, he hesitated until his father suggested taking over the family business. The son reluctantly agreed, believing the business was struggling, until an 'orientation' at the home office revealed the truth.
"My father bought this office and turned it into our home."
The office, now a lavish residence, boasts a KTV room, a RMB 50,000 (Approximately RM 32,000) aquarium, and even an elevator. The revelation continued with the son expressing disbelief at his parents' wealth, noting they owned eight cars.
Despite working for his father's company, the son revealed that his monthly wage is still less than RM 4,000, and he continues commuting on his electric motorcycle. This story serves as a reminder to reevaluate family histories—perhaps it's time for a closer look at your own!"
