Starry-eyed Chinese women go to charm schools to learn 'How to find a millionaire'.
At the modestly named Moral Education Center in Beijing, Chinese women can get a 30-hour crash course in snagging just the right rich man.
For 2,300 euros, they learn how to pour tea, wear makeup and engage in sophisticated conversations. “The lesson is to encourage women to get the best of themselves,” says founder Shao Tong. The Center hopes to bring women closer to a goal that is becoming widespread in China's growing middle class.
Teachers also instruct the would-be diggers of gold how to distinguish liars based on their facial expressions, so that they can protect themselves from frauds claiming to be loaded.
More than 3,000 Chinese women have already taken the course, which attracts mostly students and young professionals. One of them is 23-year-old Zhou Yue. “My family owns a business, and there have been times when it was very difficult for us,” she says. “So I thought if I marry a rich man, then I won't have to worry about all of that.”
But China is not the only country where women attend school in order to marry rich. In Moscow, a guru teaches courses in manipulation. A woman who can learn how to be a femme fatale leaves nothing to chance. A mechanics institute in New York has long been offering a course on “How to Marry Rich.” There, the women learned the three golden rules: move to the most elegant part of town, appear at prestigious parties, and work out in the same sports clubs as celebrities.
