Recently, a video caused an uproar online. In the video, a cute little boy confidently says that he wants to be a bank president when he grows up, because his family already has two bank leaders.

These words immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens, and everyone speculated: Is there really a family privilege that can make it easy for children to reach the pinnacle of life?
Although the little boy's words were innocent, they touched everyone's sensitive nerves. After all, in this competitive society, everyone wants to succeed with their own hard work and talent.
It doesn't feel fair if someone else can easily get something that others are striving for because of their family background.
However, the Agricultural Development Bank quickly came out to clarify that the little boy's grandfather was just an ordinary retired employee, and his mother was only a section-level cadre, and he did not have the kind of privileges that everyone imagined.
This explanation relieved some people that it might just be a misunderstanding.
But this incident still aroused everyone's attention to "family privilege". After all, in real life, we do see some families using their social status and resources to provide more opportunities and conveniences for their children.
For example, some parents will use their connections to find a good job for their child or give their child more opportunities when they are promoted. This phenomenon really makes people feel unbalanced.
In this controversy, media person Hu Xijin also joined the discussion. He originally wanted to speak for the little boy, but netizens soon found out that his daughter also worked at the newspaper where he worked.
This made everyone wonder whether Hu Xijin also used his power to seek convenience for his daughter? Although Hu Xijin himself denied this, this controversy still made everyone more sensitive to "family privileges."
In the final analysis, everyone cares about social fairness and justice. Everyone wants to be successful on a level playing field, with their own hard work and talent. If someone can easily get what others strive for because of their family background, it is indeed unfair to this society.
In the face of this phenomenon, we need to remain calm and rational. On the one hand, we need to call on the government and relevant agencies to strengthen supervision to ensure fairness and transparency in the recruitment and promotion process, and on the other hand, we need to improve our own capabilities and qualities to differentiate ourselves from the competition.
The "Governor's Son" incident is a small episode, but it provokes us to think about social justice and privilege. We should cherish this social environment of fair competition and create a better future with our own efforts and talents.
