EP07 | The Brick-and-Mortar Obsession

from The Nickel Perspective · host MJ

In this episode, we are looking inward to explore something deeply hardwired into Chinese DNA. It’s not our love for food or our work ethic—it’s our absolute, almost religious obsession with buying a house.For Chinese people, real estate isn't just a place to live; it’s a lifelong mission and the ultimate source of security. Why does a concrete box hold so much weight in our culture? Join me as we unpack the "Brick-and-Mortar Faith," the anxieties of renting, and the fascinating social rules behind owning property in China.
