　　China's economy is developing very quickly, and has brought with it a culture of consumption more prevalent with each passing day. At the same time, it has brought into being an educated group of young people who enjoy capitalist consumption way. They're used to spending money as soon as they get it every month, and so are called the moon-light group". This word came into being during the 1990s, to make fun of those born-into wealth，who have received a high education, and who prefer fast food culture.
