Yeah, if no one posts, then you have to post yourself! We can't let the forum just go on like this...
Hmm, why not organize a few events and gather some friends? After all, the National Day is coming soon...
[Just look at the last sentence, ignore the rest??] Internet slang. Usually refers to people in rural areas who are wealthy not through personal effort but show off enormous wealth (different from newly rich). It refers to people who mindlessly spend money online, and can also extend to other areas (online games, electronic devices, anime ACG, etc.). For example, a player who spends real money in an online game is called a 'tǔháo' (local wealthy person), which is sometimes shortened to 'háo'. It was included in the 'Modern Chinese Standard Dictionary' in August 2014, stating 'now it also refers to people who are wealthy but lack culture and proper values.' Originally, 'tǔháo' referred to local landlords and 'local emperors' during the Liberation War who abused their wealth and power to oppress and exploit peasants. Chinese people associate it with the land reform period's slogan 'fight the local tyrants and redistribute land'; the card game 'Dou Di Zhu' originated from this. Later, in online games, it came to mean players who mindlessly spend money, willing to invest large amounts to buy game equipment and points. In real life, it is used to mock people who like to buy luxury cosmetics, handbags, cars, digital gaming gear, anime ACG, etc., where the cost-effectiveness may differ by hundreds or thousands of times, seeming unreasonable to ordinary people, with a hint of flaunting wealth. These people are foolish but rich, generous with spending, later giving rise to phrases like 'Tǔháo, let's be friends' by netizens. The term 'tǔháo' is widely used by gamers, implying skill in game equipment and is not derogatory.
