Recently, there has been a scandal involving Da Vinci Furniture [达芬奇家具], which is famous for its high prices in China. One Da Vinci single bed can be sold for more than 100,000 yuan and a sofa set can be sold for more than 300,000 yuan. Salesmen say that it is because Da Vinci is an Italian international super brand and its furniture is produced in Italy. In addition, it claimed its raw materials are high-quality natural materials without pollution.
However, the survey results show that a large amount of the expensive Da Vinci furniture is produced in China, not Italy, and the raw materials are not rare wood as they declared. The survey results also show that the Da Vinci furniture that consumers purchased even included unqualified products.
According to sources, Da Vinci purchased furniture from Dongguan City of south China's Guangdong Province and directly carried the furniture to Italy from the Shenzhen port, and then carried them back to Shanghai. As a result, that furniture will have complete import formalities. Some Da Vinci furniture in Shanghai even did not leave China but only stay at the bonded zone [保税区] for some time and returned the market as foreign-made products.

A possible version:
On April 4th, 2011, Professor Dongpan from Beijing Normal University posted a message on the microblog that the poverty of the highly-educated means shame and failure. The message was no sooner delivered than an argument about it was aroused on the Internet. 70% of the netizens hold the point of view that this is money worship and many things cannot be measured by money. The rest of them believe being wealthy is the best way for the highly-educated people to prove their own success and making more money helps people better pay back their own family and the whole society. Whatever other people think of the professor’s opinion, I insist that money doesn’t equal success, which should be measured by various factors.

A possible version:
Da Vinci Furniture, a famous Italian luxury brand, has been involved in a scandal that its products are not made in Italy, but in Dongguan and its raw materials are not good, rare or even qualified, either.
I think worshiping foreign products does no good to both consumers themselves and the country as a whole. I know many people around me worshiping foreign products in a crazy way. I once had a classmate called Li Ming, a student from a poor family but superior in school work. He liked to pursue everything foreign, thinking foreign goods mean fashion. One day, he found a classmate playing with his new iphone4. Driven by his craze for the attractive stylish phone, he lost his mind and tried to steal it when his classmate put it on his bed. Unfortunately, he was caught red-handed by another roommate. Two days later, he was expelled from school. A once superior student lost his bright future for a single mistake.
What a pity for such a young man! So I strongly oppose to those who blindly worship foreign products.
