Written for urbanites who are tired of running around in office buildings - "The Running Life of the Benben Tribe".
We will not appreciate the details of life, we will only run wildly;
We are struggling in this materialistic society, which is called struggle;
We bought cars, houses and stock funds, but became their slaves;
Our family structure is full of comparison, and we have forgotten tolerance.
Mengmeng is a female newspaper reporter. Before her marriage, she was a busy white-collar worker. She still managed to have a romantic relationship while taking some time off from her busy schedule.
Jin Liang has been carrying his parents' dream of returning to Beijing since he was a child. Finally, after working, he brought his father, who was once a descendant of the royal family, back to Beijing and got his own house.
Jin Liang and Mengmeng are married, but their lives are getting more and more embarrassing. Disputes between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, renting a house and a car, a high-pressure job, being locked up in stocks, and even raising children and providing for their parents' retirement have put a lot of pressure on this young couple. The story takes the couple's eight years of marriage as the main line, showing the changes in housing prices and stocks from 2000 to 2008, as well as their impact on people's lives, and objectively reflects the changes in society over the past eight years.
The story also introduces various images of house slaves. Some borrowed money for their whole family just to live in a villa, some speculated on houses and were eventually cheated, and some never bought a house because they thought the house prices were too expensive. The more they waited, the more disappointed they became. His life makes people laugh while reading it, and at the same time, it is also poignant.
