Xiaomei is an extremely ordinary rural girl.
When she took the college entrance examination, she scored enough to study architecture, but because the tuition was too expensive, she chose the cheapest IT major—3,800 a year. In three years of college, she struggled to learn, and when she graduated, she couldn't even reach the threshold of a junior programmer.
She dragged her suitcase to Shenzhen and lived in a 15-square-meter rental house in a village in the city. In the past three years, she had worked five jobs, and the 18,000 yuan she had saved was withdrawn by her mother after a phone call, and she gave it as a bride price to her brother.
She thought about giving up. But she didn't.
From copywriting assistant to boss's assistant, from being robbed of money by a scam company to borrowing money to learn IT, from a monthly salary of 5,500 to founding his own company. She has fallen, cried, been lied to, and been let down in this city, but she stood up every time.
She met love and lost love. She married, had two children, and nearly lost everything in the financial crisis. She broke her leg in the rain and met a gentle orthopedic doctor, but finally chose to return to her family.
This is not a comeback story. This is a story about "surviving".
Dedicated to every girl taking root in a foreign land. Dedicated to everyone who has been rubbed on the ground by life but still chooses to stand up.
