When a man has to face reality in his family, career, love, and responsibilities, what will he choose? Career always comes first. But when it comes to love and family, how should he choose? I chose love.
This love, so long delayed, was never destined to be ordinary or smooth. True love should be fearless and unconditional, no matter the consequences. But affection can be changed or given up.
When romantic love runs up against the bond between a father and daughter, it's like a little king facing a great king: the little king always loses.
When a man has neither a career nor money, what can he use to sustain a relationship or care for his loved ones and children?
I fell from the peak of my career to the bottom. I went from driving luxury cars to getting around by subway and shared bike, from treating everyone and throwing money around to scraping by on overdue debts and help from friends, and from having two women in my life to spending the nights alone.
Looking back on this journey, both my love life and career have brought me consequences of my own making, helplessness, and heartache, along with an unwillingness to give up. I tried everything a man is born to do to win: fighting hard, persisting, and stopping at nothing to achieve my goals.
I was never afraid of failure in my career. As long as I was alive, I would fight to the end. But the torment of love left me regretful, afraid, and exhausted. I don't want to go through it again.
I wrote this novel both to record my memories and commemorate this love, and in the hope that it might offer friends running businesses a few useful lessons in public relations and management.
