To say someone is tuhao is to imply they come from a poor peasant background, and have made it rich quick – but don’t quite have the manners, or sophistication to go along with it. It’s like the term "nouveau riche", says Professor Steve Tsang at the School of Co<\/em>ntemporary Chinese Studies in Nottingham – but has even more negative connotations, suggesting a certain vulgarity.<\/span>
