Zhang Shaofan has been having a rough time lately. If the world has recently gained a new batch of unlucky people, he’s surely among the unluckiest. If this era demands that some people be sacrificed, he’ll be among the first to fall. If a person has an eight- or nine-in-ten chance of turning things around, he’ll be the one-in-a-million exception who chooses to keep sinking. There are countless roads in this world, and every great road leads to the capital, yet he resolutely chooses a thoroughly slow lane: he takes out a loan to buy a truck and becomes a truck driver.
Life is really not easy for the people living at the bottom. There are still many good people in the world.
