Yu Youzhen, a millionaire from Wuhan City, China, has been making headlines recently, after it was discovered that she has been working as a street cleaner for 14years, and for a 1,420 yuan (228 USD) monthly salary, in order to set a positive example for her two children. Yu Youzhen hit it big, when according to the policies of requisitioning and redevelopment of land in China, she and her family were compensated with 21 apartments for the three 5-storey houses they had built in Huojiawan, after several years…most of which were rented out. She wasn’t the only one, of course, but she personally witnessed how fellow villagers squandered away their fortunes on gambling, drinking and even drug use, so she made it a goal to set a good example for her kids and act responsible.
