I don’t want to discount the hard work that went into this, but I think it is always important to recognize this is mostly not a representation of competence, but of means and access. I have never seen someone fortunate enough to get such opportunities that wasn’t from affluence. Even the high school he attends (Basis International Park Lane Harbour^) is in an affluent resort community in southern China.

I don’t say this out of spite, it’s awesome he’s been able to get such opportunities and has been able to utilize them, but I think it’s important to be realistic about what these narratives imply without additional context and the answer is, sure, you can be successful with grit, brains and determination, but…the odds are very much not in your favor if you are in the wrong income bracket.
