Proving that being a materialistic asshole knows no barriers, be they racial, sexual or gender related, a guy in Shenzhen dumped his girlfriend for being too poor to afford an apartment.
Zhang, a PHD student, didn’t see the break up coming, and said it was initiated by her boyfriend’s parents. Her high level education was deemed ‘meaningless’ in the face of her family’s financial situation.
Being dumped because you are too poor, is unfortunately a common occurrence in China, but this situation is slightly unusual as men are normally expected to bear the brunt of financial burdens by families.
Poor Zhang, maybe she can get together with this guy.

For me, intellect trumps wealth any day of the week. Relationships and wealth can be lost in a blink of the eye. But no one can take away an education, and she will achieve financial security in the long run. A truly stupid guy.

I think that he will find out that this was entirely his loss. The western way to say would be more along the lines of "What an idiot!"
