Gao Yuanhang, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, was told a "surprise" by his parents on the day he received the admission notice from Beijing University - he was asked to drop out of school and work so that his sister could attend an aristocratic school. "You are a man and you are born to take responsibility." Mother said confidently. The father was more direct: "Your sister is going to marry into a wealthy family in the future. Why do you, a man, read so many books?"
Gao Yuanhang smiled.
He didn't cry or resist, but simply signed an agreement: to sever ties and leave the house. From then on, he survived in his own way - delivering food during the day and teaching himself programming at night. When the whole family thought he would struggle at the bottom of society, he spent three months developing a popular APP and directly received tens of millions of investments.
What's even more ironic is that when he became famous, his sister, who once needed his "sacrifice", went astray because she was spoiled. The family began to cry and beg him to come back and take responsibility, but Gao Yuanhang only said: "Aren't you the best at making people sacrifice? Why don't you try it yourself?"
This is a story about responsibility, choice and resistance. When everyone tells you how you "should" be, try not following the rules.
