Loushanguan in the play is the shadow of ordinary struggling youth in a typical first-tier city. With longing for a better life in first-tier cities, he feels that traveling to big cities can also make money. He came to Shanghai alone, his family was ordinary, his parents were honest farmers, and his mother had a bad habit of gambling. A Shanghainese has almost no social circle except his daily work. The people in the shop are his best friends. Every day except for work, he goes back to his rental house to sleep.
In a city like Shanghai, prices are high and the cost of living is high. If you don't work harder, you are likely to be crushed by life. For Loushanguan, mom and dad are just so. The hopes of the whole family are pinned on himself. Finally, he opened a list of two shops with a facade, and the company made a commission of nearly 80 thousand yuan. After receiving the money, he immediately called his parents and said something. Breakfast at work is usually brought by the manager, and it is more than one or two days. When eating, there was only hot sauce and white rice, and his colleagues shared the meat with him.
In real life, this is the most authentic appearance of most young people living and working in first-tier cities. Most of them often don't have very rich families, strong backgrounds and extensive contacts. It is precisely because they want to change their destiny and life that they come to the first-tier cities to work hard. They are full of expectations and hopes for this city. They feel that this city is so big that as long as they work hard, there will always be their own space. They will also fight for a small selling point of more than ten dollars.
But even so, they are not afraid of hardship or fatigue. What they are afraid of is that they can't support themselves and make money in this huge city. They think this city has no place of its own. When you have no money, you feel that life is aimed at yourself everywhere. When you can make money, you will gradually be full of confidence in life and firmly believe that the future will be better. But the reality is cruel. At the same time, he let young people like Lou Shanguan see hope.
College students choose to go to Shanghai to work hard after graduation, because the relationship in college is like buddies. Even after work, everyone will chat in the group when they are resting. In the first few years, everyone borrowed money from each other and barely made ends meet. He is in a second-tier city, but he is in Shanghai. He just graduated and has little experience and skills. He got a job in sales, with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan. He thinks that sales can exercise people, and it is in Shanghai.
The sales in the first two years are actually exactly the same life as Loushanguan in the play. We live in a big dormitory shared by six people. Everyone has different living habits, but they have to put up with it. Some people drink until midnight and need to get up early for two hours every day. In order to save money on clothes, they wear work clothes issued by the company every day and never order a takeaway. They got up early in the morning to buy more knives.
Because there is not much money in his pocket, he can only get a basic salary of more than 1 0,000, without making out an invoice. Such income can't survive in Shanghai at all, so he will naturally borrow money from us three times, from one thousand to two thousand to several hundred dollars. Of course, as long as we have money, we will give it to him. We are also the few among his friends who can lend him money. He has no friends since he was a child, and his family is average. I didn't hesitate to go to Shanghai to work hard after graduation because I wanted to change my destiny as much as possible through my own efforts and hard work. For him, almost the whole family's life burden is on him alone.
I haven't made a bill for half a year because I need to make a bill to make money. Because my customer resources are limited, I plan to spend thousands of dollars to try my luck when I see someone selling information. But later, I was not only cheated, but also attracted the police. The pressure on young people without money can be imagined. As long as they can make money, they will even lose their minds.
Just like Loushanguan in the play, for a meal of 50 yuan, he listened to the boss and went to the community to deflate the car. As a result, I was caught red-handed and took the fall for the flat tire offender in the community.
My friend worked in Shanghai for five years. Although his salary has risen well, from 3000 to 8000 per month, he still feels that he has not made much progress in his career when chatting. He has gradually felt a little tired and overwhelmed. Now he is just trying to maintain his present state, thinking that he may eventually be a passer-by in this city.
Before Lou Shanguan left the real estate agency industry in the play, although he often did house after house business, he didn't see any improvement and his career didn't rise much. Being blacklisted by real estate agents, he can no longer engage in the real estate agency industry because he has no friends in Shanghai. After leaving the store, every step of life is very difficult. He has worked as a mannequin and set up a stall, and he will do it as long as he makes money.
This is the life of ordinary young people in big cities. It's never as beautiful as everyone thinks. There is no lack of hard work, and there is no shortage of hard work. Everyone bears a heavy burden of life. For every young man who wants to turn over a salted fish, many times we work hard, but our career can't develop in the direction we expect. Maybe it will get worse. Having a heart that is not afraid of hardship and fatigue is just the basis of living here. You may not live the life you want, but even so, please still believe in the meaning of hard work. Although hard work may not make your career develop well, after hard work, you can live up to your original intention of coming to this city.
Even if the final result is destined to be a passer-by in this city, isn't this an experience that life sometimes requires?
