The man was very angry after attending this class reunion.
The post about the class reunion was shared on Toutiao (a Chinese social media platform).

This year, my older brother Dai Cuong came home for Tet (Lunar New Year). Afterwards, he received a call about a high school class reunion. Thinking it was a rare opportunity to reconnect with old friends after so many years, he prepared meticulously, dressed smartly, and excitedly attended the reunion.
Upon entering the class reunion venue, Dai Cuong was stunned to see the magnificent setting—a private room in a 5-star hotel, luxurious and opulent.
A question immediately arose in his mind: "Could some wealthy person in the class be showing off?" But then he reconsidered; the important thing about a class reunion was to have fun, and he didn't need to worry too much about that.
Thirty-five people attended the class reunion. The atmosphere initially seemed friendly as everyone greeted each other cheerfully. But once the party began, he realized it wasn't just an ordinary class reunion.
The banquet table was filled with premium seafood and imported wines; every dish was luxurious and expensive.

While enjoying the party, the class president stood up and said, "This is our first reunion in many years, so we must eat and drink to our heart's content. No one can leave until they're drunk!"
Immediately afterwards, he came up with a game: the girls would raise their glasses to toast the boys, and if any boy didn't finish his drink, he would have to pay the bill.
At this point, Da Qiang was starting to feel very uncomfortable, but he still restrained himself. He thought to himself that it had been a long time since they last met, and he shouldn't spoil the mood.
When the party ended, something happened that shocked Da Qiang. The class president took out a bill, held it up high, and said, "The total cost for today's party is 52,000 yuan (approximately 183 million VND)."
As soon as the class monitor finished speaking, the whole class was surprised by the amount of money. Da Cuong was stunned. He had only eaten some seafood and had a few drinks, yet it had cost so much.
But what angered him even more was the class monitor's next statement: "The girls don't need to pay; the boys should split the bill!"

Dai Cuong was furious, but when he looked around, he noticed the other boys were silently taking out their wallets to pay, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
He was very resentful but had to grit his teeth and pay. He secretly thought that he would never attend these kinds of class reunions again.
Although it was also a class reunion, when Dai Cuong looked at the one organized by another classmate, he noticed a completely different atmosphere.
Mr. Ly's class, his classmates, held a reunion at a cozy, unpretentious restaurant. The classmates enjoyed simple meals together and had heartfelt conversations about life. The expenses were split equally, and everyone was happy and relaxed.
After the meeting, they even created a group chat, regularly talking and helping each other – that's what true friendship is all about.

Looking back at the bittersweet class reunion he once attended, Dai Cuong suddenly realized: "In life, the most important thing is not chasing after luxury and material possessions, but maintaining one's composure and principles."
Sometimes, it's necessary to know when to decline a meaningless meeting. True friendship isn't found in extravagant parties or gourmet meals, but in genuine and sincere treatment of one another.
