What should a man look like at forty? Originally there was no fixed criterion for judging.
But I don't know since when, mature, steady, wise and successful career has become the standard. Have you ever seen that in literature, film and television works, you often see a certain president or a certain director. He always wears a BMW, a fancy car, a suit and leather shoes, and works in a high-end office building with a river view and a sea view. Fang Qiu is strategizing in the office, surrounded by a group of beauties and handsome men, making the young heroines flock to him. It seems that all men of this age group are at the peak of their lives.
But how many such people are there in reality? I'm afraid those ordinary little people still make up the majority.
Yin Xukui, a bank teller, a middle-aged man who is honest and even a little cowardly. Earning a stable but not high income, he works as a housekeeper at home. He endured the squeeze from his junior superiors in the industry and the contempt of his strong woman wife and her entire family.
When contentment no longer makes you happy, mediocrity becomes a sin, and being unsuccessful seems like you are not worthy of living in this world. Where should Yin Xukui, a man in his forties who has hit rock bottom, go?
This article does not have a Nirvana-style rebirth and soar into the sky, nor does it have a Shuangwen-style comeback and slap in the face. It just strives to tell the life of the most ordinary middle-aged man among the general public. It is also adapted from real events encountered by the author in real life.
Reader comments
This book is interesting, I'd better give it a try
The writing is really good, but it looks terrible
There is no winter that is insurmountable and there is no spring that will not come.
The writing was okay, but I couldn't stand the plot after Tang Caixia appeared. I can't understand how a dutiful and honest protagonist could get involved with another woman overnight? Are rice caterpillars on the brain? Isn't that right? A forty-year-old person has been floating in society for so many years, and doesn't he have any sense of caution? So much so that I have no intention of watching the subsequent episodes. This is just my opinion, please don't take it seriously.
