对，大概这也是为什么“暴发户”成为了一个贬义词。其实很多人都是在改革开放后背井离乡，到沿海的开放城市去“淘金”，幸运地致富的。他们的经历中也会有坎坷和辛劳，可是到后来暴发户却成为了不劳而获的代名词。也许是他们富有之后的转变实在太大，所以才不被世人所接受吧。

Yeah. That's probably why ''new money" has become a pejorative word. Actually, a lot of people left their homes after Reform and Opening. They went to coastal cities to seek their fortune, and they got rich because of their luck. Their experiences were bumpy and full of back-breaking work. But later on, ''nouveau riche" became a word for those who reaped what they did not sew. Maybe they're not accepted by the rest of the world because they changed so much after getting rich.
