Measuring Shenzhen with a steering wheel for thirty years, I witnessed the class rise of a county driver. In 1994, the protagonist came to Shenzhen to open a rental business with a deposit of 20,000 yuan borrowed from the countryside of You County. I was scolded by passengers for not speaking Cantonese, squeezed out by local fleets, and made things difficult for me by car inspections. I experienced the financial crisis in 1998, the decline in business after the opening of the Shenzhen subway in 2004, the transition to driving blue-plate cars, and the impact of the online ride-hailing era. But with the unique characteristics of Youxian people of "diligence, teamwork, and frugality," he gradually moved from renting a car to buying a car, from driving alone to contracting three cars, and finally bought a house in Shenzhen to bring his wife and children. What's exciting is not getting rich suddenly, but the real counterattack of an honest man who spent twenty years "working through it" - his family members who looked down on him back then finally begged him to introduce him to driving in Shenzhen.
