They say the post-80s generation is the last generation of losers to straddle two centuries.

The defining trait of a loser is always living for today while adapting to yesterday.

As children, we were told to study hard and work hard. Everyone was trying to be useful. In the adult world, the lines between rich and poor, strong and weak are clear, and everyone is trying to get rich.

Unexpected things happen in life. You have to find your own job, buy your own home, and a car becomes a necessity. Having a mistress becomes commonplace. Everyone gets smarter, and everyone gets foolish again. Even the childhood mischief and fights are different now.

Being useful is the worldview and values of a generation of losers.

Being rich is the standard of reality they face.

Yi Dadong was called “the last man from the mountains” by his classmates and teachers.

He had been a good student his whole life.

The mark of a good student is never letting the same failure happen twice.

After entering society, his deep inferiority complex made him cultivate an extreme humility to protect himself from the world.

By a stroke of luck, he caught the eye of a powerful figure.

Yi Dadong would never let an opportunity like that slip away. His knowledge and experience grew at an incredible pace.

He adapted to human nature just as quickly.

He used to hate it. Then he adapted. He got used to it, and in the end, he came to like it.

He became one of those who rose to power on the coattails of the mighty.
