SCMP: “Li Yuandong, 23, remembers buying 10 Burberry scarfs, two Burberry handbags, two Louis Vuitton handbags and some luxury perfumes in one day in Paris without blinking an eye.
“Then I blew my ‘millionaire’ identity by hopping on a crowded subway train heading home”, wrote Li, a Chinese graduate student studying engineering in France on his blog.
Li’s post went viral on China’s social media, including Sina Weibo, China’s popular twitter-like service.
In a humorous tone, Li wrote about his side job of buying luxury goods for friends in China, and complained the burden was growing too heavy.
“I became so popular after moving to France,” said Li in his post. “Suddenly everyone wanted to talk to me.”
But the conversations all ended with the same question: “Can you buy me a Louis Vuitton”?
“My bank upgraded me to VIP after seeing the amount of money sent by friends in China,“ he said, “I would easily spend 10,000 euros in a month on hand bags.””
