No, only 65% are peasants.

But you have, with the wrong reason. You were born with a silver
spoon in your mouth, and nothing in your head.

No, we are speaking the truth from the past. You may not say that
anymore, but the truth is;
For centuries, Chinese people greeted each other with "Have you eaten
yet?" which was the indication that China was a land of hard****p and
starvation.

past history of hard****p and starvation.

Still, the past can not escape the present as it is part of our past.
No matter how hard you are trying to deny it, "have you eaten yet?"
was part of the Chinese past that we can not escape from. Today, we
still have many people who still greet each other with:
"Have you eaten yet?"
