Don't Bet on People's Hearts
At forty, burdened by debt, abandoned by friends, and met with cold indifference from relatives, he hears nothing but gossip from people kicking him while he's down.
Wang Yanzhou used to stumble because he put too much stock in personal ties and trusted verbal promises too readily. Time and again, people he knew left him with nothing.
After enduring the harshness of the world, he finally casts aside hollow pride and stops gambling on whether people are good or evil. Starting again from the bottom of society with small-time business, he learns to read people, calculate risks, and break through traps.
He navigates neighborhood disputes, relatives' moral blackmail, and the open and covert attacks of his competitors, putting down roots one step at a time.
Even mired in the mud, he still strives for the heights.
No sudden miracles, no handouts from benefactors. See how a down-and-out middle-aged man uses his grit and experience to carve out a secure future for his family.
