I Can See My Own Obituary

“By the time you read this, I’ll be dead.”

“If you fulfill my wish, you’ll get to see my whole life and gain one of my skills.”

In 2019, Li An suddenly received a letter from the dead that made no sense at all.

[Civil engineering is a garbage major.]

[Don’t buy the company’s subsidized housing. That’s where my miserable life began.]

“What are you talking about?”

“Our civil engineering major is better than nothing, and it’s still much better than materials science, biology, environmental science, or chemical engineering.”

“The company’s subsidized housing is 20% off. I could make hundreds of thousands by reselling it. Am I supposed to turn my back on money?”

Years later, Li An summed up his perfect life like this:

[All I had was a little more luck than most people.]

[Of course, the other ninety-something percent came from my own hard work and sweat.]
