   In a small hotel in Shijie, Dongguan, the fan futilely stirred the stifling heat. I watched Song Guo climb into that brand-new Xiali car, her resolute profile reflected in the window. For three years, all my wages had been spent on the English textbooks and human resources certificates in her bag—the ladder she climbed in cram schools was one I had painstakingly built inch by inch in the toxic fumes of the factory. The Nokia 7610 flashing between her new boyfriend's fingers was like a thorn, piercing my last shred of dignity. "Look at yourself, you fucking bastard, are you even a man?" Her scream tore through the air. "Others have cars and houses, and what about you? You only deserve to rot in the factory!" She trampled on my back as she rushed towards a new world, leaving me behind, covered in the sour smell of factory oil and sweat. That night, when the arrogant supervisor in the workshop once again made things difficult, my pent-up anger exploded. I slapped her, and in the crisp sound, I tasted a pleasure I had never experienced before. It turns out that cutting ties with the past only requires the force of a slap. Song Guo, this "benefactor," taught me the most painful lesson through betrayal: **In love, all your sacrifices may be nothing more than stepping stones in someone else's eyes.** The world only sees how high you ultimately stand; no one cares how long you knelt. As the Xiali car completely disappeared into the swirling dust, I wiped my face and boarded the green train bound for Shenzhen. Amidst the roaring whistle, one thought was crystal clear: **This time, I'll be my own benefactor!** Shenzhen, I'll make a name for myself there.
