#ETH创历史新高 I am a 42-year-old man from Shaanxi. At the age of 17, I dropped out of school and entered society. I have worked as a waiter, in electronics factories, and in mechanical factories, among others. I once came to the city full of dreams. When I first started, I earned 2000, while most people around me earned 3000. I became dissatisfied with my situation and worked hard to catch up; eventually, I also earned 3000. At that point, I realized that the people around me could earn 4500. So, I started striving again, and later, I could also earn 4500. I was so happy! But then I looked back and saw that my friends were earning 6000 to 8000. I felt I couldn't afford to take a break, so I desperately looked for new jobs. Unfortunately, I had no qualifications and no strength; I couldn’t endure hardship. It took me a long time to finally earn 6000 to 8000, but damn it, the people around me were already making over 10,000 a month! For so many years, I kept chasing and chasing, but I couldn't get my wife settled, and I didn't accomplish anything. Now that I’m over 30, I began to give up on myself. No matter what I did, I couldn't compare to others, so I thought, why not just eat and wait to die? Working hard still left me poor, and not working meant having nothing at all. Since the outcome was the same, why should I work? So I stopped working, just eating and waiting to die. Eventually, I ran out of money and didn’t want to work anymore. What should I do when I’m hungry? So, I started stealing electric bikes. This is a way to make money! But damn it, not long after, I got caught and sentenced to a year. After I got out, my relatives and friends treated me as a negative example, and I was too ashamed to go home. I wanted to find a job in Kunshan and work hard, but I had a criminal record, so many places wouldn’t hire me. Thus, I became a drifter in Kunshan, drifting around. I worked one day and rested three days, sleeping on the streets and living in internet cafes. I had completely fallen into the life of a loser, living each day closer to death...
