After graduating, I moved to another city to build a career. For three years, I suffered one setback after another. I submitted nearly thirty job applications, but every one disappeared into the void without a word. Life with virtually no income was unbearable. I couldn’t find a job, had no earnings, and lost almost all of my family’s only 100,000 yuan. At my lowest point, my stocks were worth just over 10,000 yuan.
I was forced to live in a damp, gloomy basement room measuring only seven square meters. Even then, I often fell behind on rent, and the landlord looked down on me and told me to leave.
I stretched the money for instant noodles as far as I could, wishing I could split it into three meals. If my friends knew how hard things were, they’d sigh with dismay. If my parents found out, they’d be heartbroken and urge me to come home.
But how could I face my frail, sickly father and my mother, who worked tirelessly every day?
I kept struggling, hoping my stocks would rebound so I could leave the market for good. I no longer expected to make anything of myself.
Then, when I had barely fifty yuan left in my pocket and the landlord was hounding me for rent and telling me to move out, I rescued a poor, completely black kitten on a night of torrential rain. To my surprise, from then on, my life became like something out of a dream:
My stocks hit the daily limit again and again.
My short-video account started earning over 3,000 yuan a day, a first since I opened it.
I went to a restaurant and happened to be its one-millionth customer, so they gave me a free dining voucher.
Most importantly, a lottery ticket I bought on a whim won the jackpot!
I moved into a luxury hotel and started driving a sports car.
After being single for so long, I even met the woman of my dreams, the one I’d been in love with for ages.
Real and objective. Clever description. It's really beautiful!
