<h3>''Shéi jiào nǐ búxìng shēng zài Zhōngguó le?'' 谁叫你不幸生在中国了?</h3>
  
This is a statement made by He Zuoma, a 78 year-old professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in a heated exchange with a reporter.  The reporter asked about deaths in coal mines and alleged that more than one hundred people die daily in China’s coal mines. He Zuoma countered that a much greater number died in car accidents. When pressed by the reporter as to whether the coal mine deaths were the result of government corruption or were otherwise avoidable, Mr. He denied this and claimed instead that the deaths were simply the unavoidable byproducts of poverty.  He then asked, “How were you so unfortunate as to be born in China?” and then added, “In the process of development some sacrifices are unavoidable.

Mr. He’s comments were seen to symbolize the sort of emotional detachment with which the government single-mindedly pursues its overarching goal of development at all costs. His comments also became a critique against the government’s mantra of “scientific development.

He Zuoxiu and his infamous question. (Source: NetEase Luntan)

Question posed to a reporter by physicist and "crusader against unscientific thinking" He Zuoxiu; rhetorical question for Chinese citizens harmed by corruption in the name of progress.

He Zuoxiu, a member of the Chinese Academy of Science, advocated for former President Hu Jintao's concept of a "scientific outlook on development" (kēxué fāzhǎn guān 科学发展观). In a 2005 interview with Southern People's Weekly, When pressed as to whether the coal mine deaths were the avoidable results of government corruption, He denied this and claimed instead that the deaths were necessary byproducts of poverty. He then shot back at the reporter, "How were you so unfortunate as to be born in China?" (literally "Who told you to be born unluckily in China?"), adding, "In the process of development some sacrifices are unavoidable."

For many netizens, He's excoriation of the reporter symbolizes the emotional detachment with which the government pursues economic growth–the logical but soulless endpoint of "scientific development."

This retort to scientific development has remained in currency after Hu Jintao left office. For instance, "How were you unlucky enough to be born in China?" appeared as a sad comment on Liu Lingli, a young teacher who was fired for "absenteeism" while she was being treated for cancer. She passed away in August 2016.
