When a migrant worker was asked, "ni xing fu ma?" (are you happy?), by a China Central Television interviewer, he looked puzzled before replying, "wo xing Zeng (my surname is Zeng). This CCTV interview telecast during the Golden Week National Day holiday has become a joke among CCTV viewers.

In fact, xingfu (happiness) has become a buzzword since CCTV broadcast its survey on Chinese people's happiness. But the survey results have failed to convince many people, for they were surprised to see every interviewee saying he/she was happy.

The question then is, are all of them truly happy?
