Beijing, outside the North Fifth Ring Road.
Jiang Ye, 23, graduated from junior high school and repaired electric vehicles for a living. He slept during the day and went out to work in the evening, squatting under the street lamp at the entrance of the village in the city, his hands turned red from the cold, earning thirty or forty from repairing a car. No education, no technical certificate, no savings, and no thought about the future. His greatest skill is that he is good at repairing cars, but his greatest advantage is that he has a bad temper.
Lin Xu, thirty-four, product team leader of an Internet company. After graduating from the second degree, I worked in several companies until now, with a monthly salary of just over 20,000. I rent a 45-square-meter one-bedroom apartment in the North Fifth Ring Road. I have meetings, write documents, and argue with developers every day.

When love comes, it doesn't make sense.
But if you want to live your life, it all makes sense. Education, income, family, age, social circle, other people's opinions, each other's self-esteem and inferiority - none of them can be overcome.
This is a story about "almost". They were almost able to be together, almost thought they could change anything. In the end, it was discovered that even though two ordinary people tried their best, they could not bridge the gap between them.
It's not that I don't love it anymore.
It's too much to love.
——Written to everyone who feels that they are "ok, but not good enough".
