人为财而死

Meta AI: 人为财而死 (rén wèi cái èr sǐ) is a Chinese idiom that means "to die for wealth" or "to sacrifice one's life for riches". It is used to describe someone who is so obsessed with wealth and material gain that they are willing to risk their own life to achieve it.

The idiom is often used to criticize someone who prioritizes wealth and material possessions over their own well-being, relationships, and even their life. It suggests that the pursuit of wealth has become an all-consuming goal, leading to an imbalance in one's life.

The idiom is thought to have originated from the idea that some people are so driven by their desire for wealth that they would willingly sacrifice their own life in the process of accumulating it. It is often used to caution against the dangers of excessive materialism and the importance of prioritizing one's values and well-being.
