Because before 1949, life was hell. After 1949, life was better, but still struggle in poverty. Recent years has been the best for Chinese for a couple centuries. People learn to live with what they have and always save money to prepare for a rainy day.
Although, Chinese are willing to spend big bucks on education, especially for their children.
