The title sounds happy but if you're chinese, that's a call of desperation due to social norm.
For sons in particular, it's down to the Bank of Mum and Dad - and underpinned by the marriage market.[...]
[...]Chinese parents know their sons' chances of marrying well are materially increased if they own a home.
Dr Jieyu Liu, deputy director of the SOAS China Institute, told the BBC: "It is the custom that husbands will provide a home.
No home no car = no marriage. Idk if you want that.
The article also pointed to France, but also stated they chose not to own a house and prefer renting. Mainland Chinese(or Asian in particular) need to do it due to social expectation. Using the materialistic culture to proof your communism point is...ironic.
