The manuscript of this book is selected from the NetEase non-fiction public account "thelivings", a series of manuscripts published in its "Job Searching China" column, which are practitioners from all walks of life describing their work or the work of those around them: farmers, app content reviewers, sales, history Teachers, sailors, gold analysts, locksmiths, grassroots community investigators... These workers are either caught up in the times, or rise to the occasion; some actively pursue their ideals, or are helpless to survive; some find the value of life in their profession, or find the meaning of life after being lost. Their experiences interpret the ups and downs of different professions. Their work supports the smooth operation of this society. Their stories reflect the life of contemporary Chinese people like a kaleidoscope. In these "real stories, real life", we can see a vivid contemporary China, and perhaps, we can also rethink the value and meaning of "work" itself.
