Standing at Thirty

This article records a life experience of the heroine Yin Xiaoqing's family. The trivial and long life brought about by the birth of her child changed her day after day, especially when faced with the financial constraints of life. She originally planned to be a little woman and had to go back to the world to work hard. Unfamiliar with the unwritten rules, she ran into obstacles at every turn; the petty bourgeoisie who once had the "arrogant and coquettish" temperament had to pretend to be a "big woman" to maintain her appearance under the temper of life. She worked hard to catch up with the times, but later realized that the gap between people should not simply be attributed to lack of effort and progress. Because in reality, hard work is far less profitable than speculation. She gradually realized that "success is a poison, and money is its drug." Standing at the "rice" intersection in life, how will she make choices and give up?
