I am in Tianjin and heard the following definition of harmonious society:

什么是和谐社会？和谐社会就是富人更富，穷人更文明！

What is harmonious society? The rich become richer, and the poor become more civilized!

Yes, one of the joys of Tianjin remains the city’s justifiably famous ability to “talk”. Indeed, the city has a reputation for being the hardest audience in the country, producing some of the sharpest wits in the crosstalk tradition.
