Wang Tiezhu, a middle-aged man, is an ordinary company executive. He earns a dead salary and takes care of his small family. Every day, he is burdened with daily expenses for firewood, rice, oil and salt, children's school fees, and parents' medical expenses. His life is stable but tight.
Occasionally, he boasted about getting rich by stock trading, which ignited his desire to take shortcuts and improve his life. With an emergency fund of 50,000 yuan, he plunged into the ever-changing stock market. He regarded the K-line as an electrocardiogram, relied on the auspicious names to choose stocks, and relied on luck to make a small profit, thinking that he could also become a "folk stock god."
But the market is never used to fantasies. Suddenly facing bad news, blindly following the trend, credulously believing in insider tips, and getting caught up in a pig-killing market, Wang Tiezhu went from being complacent to panicking and then borrowing money to add to his position and losing more and more. Not only did he lose all his savings, but he also caused rifts between his wife and his job.
The old stock investors who lost all their pensions, the pancake stall man who saved money steadily, and the father who always frowned in the paintings woke him up time and time again. In the end, Wang Tiezhu gritted his teeth and left the game, giving up his obsession with getting rich overnight, and getting his life back on track little by little by working hard and taking part-time jobs.
