After three years of epidemic prevention and control, the epidemic prevention and control was finally relaxed in 2023. I don't want to recall these three years of control, because this will be an indelible page in human history. I just want to talk about how we at the bottom are struggling to survive after these three years of control.
The protagonist, Lou Yi, dreams of becoming a great writer one day. He has drifted north for 10 years and achieved nothing. After three years of the epidemic, he is heavily in debt. He owes hundreds of thousands on credit cards and is bombarded with debt collection calls and text messages every day. In order to survive, I tossed and turned, left Beijing, and returned to Guangdong, where I had just started working, and found a jewelry sales job. However, the salary was not enough to pay the rent, let alone eat, drink, and have a lot of foreign debts. Just when he was frowning and suffering every day, Lou Yi suddenly discovered that the road in front of the jewelry store was busy with traffic, people coming and going, and there was an endless stream of people setting up stalls. There is a large shopping mall here, and it is right at the subway entrance. Residents from the surrounding areas have to pass through this road when they come back. The flow of people who come here to shop every day can be said to be the highest in Anbao District. More importantly, Lou Yi suddenly discovered that the girl selling freshly squeezed juice in front of the jewelry store sold several baskets of oranges every night and closed the stall at 9 o'clock. So I resigned decisively and joined the ranks of setting up a stall.
There are people from all walks of life setting up stalls here, including the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, bosses, and migrant workers. At the beginning, everyone set up wild stalls, and business started. Seeing the profits, the community started to hold night markets, which staged a struggle for interests. People at the bottom of this society will always have a hard time living.

After listening to it for a whole day, I never understood the hardships of setting up a street vendor. I finally understood.
