      Seems the average wage in Shenzhen is now $2000+ for a public worker, and yes I guess he makes more, as I suppose English teacher is considered skilled work.

      But the problem was the claim about the rent alone was more than the average wage, which it for sure is not.
      He was made out to probably be rich, which he definitely is not, he is working a pretty normal job, and although he is probably above average wage, he is most likely still just middle class for where he lives.
