Is success something that should be earned, or is it fair for wealth and status to simply be inherited? What exactly is nepotism, and how does it shape the way we view opportunity, respect, and social mobility? In this discussion, we’ll dive into the tension between privilege and merit, looking at whether those born into wealth—so-called “nepo babies”—deserve the same admiration as those who are self-made. Along the way, we’ll ask thought-provoking questions: How much of a person’s achievements are truly their own? And if you yourself had been born into privilege, how would your daily life and choices look different?_x000D_ _x000D_ To ground our conversation, we’ll also look at some telling statistics. In China, over 70% of wealthy individuals are considered self-made, while in the West the picture shifts—around two-thirds of billionaires in the U.S., for example, come from inherited wealth. These numbers raise fascinating cultural and structural questions about how societies view opportunity, mobility, and fairness. Join us as we compare perspectives, explore personal and societal values, and reflect on what nepotism really means for the future of success._x000D_ _x000D_ 成功应该是靠自己拼出来的，还是说继承财富和地位也算合理？“Nepotism（裙带关系）”到底意味着什么？它又是怎么影响我们对机会、尊重和社会流动性的看法的？在这场讨论里，我们会深入聊一聊“特权 vs. 实力”的张力，思考那些含着金汤匙出生的“nepo babies”，是否值得和白手起家的人得到同样的敬佩。在过程中，我们也会抛出一些值得深思的问题：一个人的成就，到底有多少是真正属于他/她自己的？如果你自己生在特权家庭，你的生活和选择会不会完全不一样？_x000D_ _x000D_ 为了让讨论更有落点，我们还会看一些有意思的数据。在中国，超过 70% 的富人被认为是白手起家；但在西方，情况就不太一样——比如在美国，大约三分之二的亿万富翁财富来自继承。这些数字其实抛出了很值得聊的文化和结构性问题：社会怎么看待机会、流动性和公平？加入我们，一起对比不同的视角，探讨个人与社会的价值观，思考“nepotism”对未来的成功到底意味着什么。
