"What made the situation of the baby in the Chinese PICU even more surprising is that the same type of designer jeans that I coveted in high school were probably being worn by a teenage Chinese girl just down the street. China’s economy is nothing short of booming, and new wealth is spreading like wildfire across most of the country, a phenomenon obvious even to a narrow-minded bystander like me. Gucci bags, Ray Ban sunglasses and row after row of newly constructed skyscraping and luxury apartment buildings are a common sight to behold in modern China.

The rich-poor gap, which has undoubtedly widened at lightning speed over the past couple decades, is impossible to miss. In a split second, you might pass a souped-up, shiny Lexus SUV and an ox-drawn plow led by a sun-tanned peasant.

Or, as in the case of the PICU baby, you might watch as a teary-eyed pair of parents who cannot afford life-saving surgery for their only child walk past a Chinese teenager with an iPhone and designer jeans."
