Some years ago, a reporter interviewed Pan Shiyi and asked him about his views on housing prices, during which there was a very classic segment.

Pan Shiyi said that for young people (who have no money), renting is more economical, while wealthy people can buy houses to resist inflation.

The host laughed: which is to say nothing at all.

Pan Shiyi smiled: That means I didn't explain it clearly.

Every time I watch that interview video, I smile knowingly at this point; some people are poor precisely because their thinking is rigid and sees things in black and white.
