Lin Xiao, a young courier who travels from the countryside to the big city, rides an electric bicycle through the streets and alleys every day in the bustling city, racing against time, just to deliver more packages and earn a few more hard-earned dollars. He always has a simple and honest smile on his face, but behind this smile is heavy life pressure and confusion about the future.
In the small and damp rental house, his neighbor Uncle Wang gave him warmth and experience like a family member; but Boss Zhang at the express delivery outlet was like the shadow of greed, always ready to deduct his hard work. By chance, Lin Xiao met Su Yue, a white-collar worker in an office building. Her gentleness and kindness shined into his world like a ray of light, but due to class differences, her heart fell into a whirlpool of struggle and hope.
"The Bitterness of Little People" focuses on Lin Xiao's life, watching how he survives in the gap between dreams and reality, sticks to kindness and integrity in the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and strives to pursue the seemingly unattainable dawn of happiness amidst setbacks and tribulations. It deeply shows the helplessness, sadness and unremitting yearning for a better life of little people struggling in the big city.
The cover page "The Sorrow of Little People" should be "The Sorrow of Little People". The reason why it is written like this is because it wants to reflect the subtle changes in the protagonist's "heart".
