Chapter 207 makes netizens cry: I am 27 or 28 years old
The number of followers of Su Xiaobai's official Weibo account soared at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few hours, the number of followers of Su Xiaobai's official account exceeded five million.
Surprise, everyone was waiting for the surprise that Su Yang mentioned.
However, to the disappointment of netizens, the account did not update anything that day. Su Yang and Qin Shuyao's Weibo also did not update anything.
This reaction made netizens feel depressed and curious. What exactly was the surprise Su Yang was talking about? This bastard is just teasing people again.
"Hahaha, follow Su Xiaobai, I'll give you a surprise at 8 o'clock tonight. It's real, I won't lie this time..."
The next morning, Su Yang updated his Weibo again, still promoting this account.
"I don't believe you, you old man are so bad..."
"Already paying attention, hurry up..."
"Hurry up, the flowers I've been waiting for have all withered..."
"No surprise tonight, I'll send you a razor blade..."
"What a surprise! Could it be that 'Skinning Show' has been updated..."
“Is it a new song?”
"A new variety show?"
The comment section of Su Yang's Weibo became lively again, and the number of fans of Su Xiaobai's account increased again, but the rate of increase was not as fast as yesterday.
Even so, by eight o'clock in the evening, the number of fans on Su Xiaobai's official Weibo account had exceeded 7 million. This number made many Weibo influencers envious. Damn, Su Yang's appeal is too terrifying.
People in the entertainment industry couldn't help but drool when they saw Su Yang's appeal. Damn, if this bastard participated in variety shows or filmed TV series or movies, he would probably have a strong appeal. This is all money. If I had such appeal, I could make a lot of money.
But at this moment, they were a little worried. This bastard, I wonder if he's going to do another skin-peeling show at 8 o'clock tonight.
At 8pm, many people visited Su Xiaobai's official Weibo account, anticipating the surprise Su Yang had promised. Many people in the industry were also watching, fearing that Su Yang would expose himself in a new skin-shaming show.
At 8:00 AM, Su Xiaobai's official Weibo account was updated. It was a video that looked like an animated short. The title of the short was also quite interesting.
My name is Su Xiaobai, and I’m 27 or 28 years old!
It’s a very interesting title, but countless netizens are more curious about the content.
Clicking on the video, it turned out to be a 3D animation. The protagonist of the animation was a cartoon version of Su Yang, which was obvious at a glance. In the morning, Su Yang was lying carefree on the bed when his cell phone alarm suddenly rang. It was 6:50 in the morning.
Su Yang drowsily reached out to take out his phone and turned off the alarm, then continued to sleep in bed. Soon the alarm rang again, and at seven o'clock in the morning, Su Yang drowsily got out of bed.
"Hahaha, it's very similar to me now..."
"Me too. I can't wake up without ringing the alarm a second time..."
“This animation is so close to life…”
"The cartoon version of Brother Yang is so cute..."
"Is there Sister Shuyao..."
Watching the video, many people couldn't help but leave comments. In the video, Su Yang was brushing his teeth in a daze, looking listless and a little depressed.
At this moment, piano background music suddenly sounded. Then the video began to narrate, it was Su Yang's voice, but this voice seemed a little decadent.
"My name is Su Xiaobai. I'm 27 or 28 years old. My daily wake-up time has changed from 12 noon to 7 a.m., and my bedtime has changed from the early morning to 11 p.m."
"I'm 27 or 28 years old now, and I've started to meet all kinds of people at work. When I meet friends and relatives, they no longer ask about your test scores, but more about where you work, how much you earn a month, and whether you're married."
With the piano playing in the background, Su Yang's voice seemed somewhat decadent and low, almost like a low narration. Accompanied by the narration, Su Yang in the animation also began his day's work.
I lazily woke up, bought a bun on the street, and then took the bus. I felt drowsy on the subway, as if the whole world had nothing to do with me. I felt numb and tired.
Music, animation, and next to it. These three things mixed together resonated with many people at once. Especially for young people who are not married yet, isn’t Su Xiaobai in the animation a true portrayal of themselves?
"I'm 27 or 28 years old now. The topics of conversation have changed from various online games to cars, houses, and money. During meals, the discussion is often about his plans to get married and when she got married..."
"I'm in my twenties now. I no longer lament the endless amount of homework I have to do. Instead, I've started lamenting the price of oil, how quickly housing prices are rising, and whether the stock market is going up or down. I've stopped buying things recklessly. At the end of the month, I start calculating how much I need to pay back on my Huabei account next month, how much I'll need to spend, how much I'll have left, and when I'll have enough saved to buy a house..."
"I'm 27 or 28 years old now. I've gradually grown tired of bars and karaoke. I like being close to nature and living a healthy lifestyle..."
"I'm 27 or 28 years old now. Sometimes I feel lonely and miss someone. I've started chasing my dreams. I don't cry easily anymore, and I won't give up because of a little setback. I've lost the frivolity of youth. I treat the setbacks and difficulties I encounter as life experience, and I try to be tolerant and patient."
Watching Su Xiaobai's story and listening to Su Yang's narration, these words directly touched the hearts of many people. Especially young people around 30 who are still unmarried, Su Xiaobai's video directly hit the softest part of their hearts.
This is resonance. At this moment, this video has resonated with many people. Many people watched it very seriously, so seriously that they didn't even post comments.
The storyline of Su Xiaobai in the short film is based on these monologues. This is not a special scene, just the most ordinary busy life.
But these plots are too familiar to many people, because this is their own life state, the life state of a migrant worker.
"I'm 27 or 28 years old now. Looking back, I've made so many mistakes and taken so many detours. I always regret it, but I can't go back, I can't go back to that innocent time. When I'm overwhelmed by the invisible pressures of society, I long for the love I once had. I long for someone to have dinner and watch a movie with after get off work every day. I need someone to share some of my burdens with."
"I'm on a great journey, and I need someone to encourage me. Sometimes I feel so tired that I want to give up, but when I think of the person I care about, I take a deep breath and keep moving forward, because I believe there is always a place where I can dock."
"I'm 27 or 28 years old. When I'm lonely, I no longer go to internet cafes to play games. When I'm bored, I often open WeChat to see if anyone has sent me a message. Sometimes I want to say something to someone I know, but in the end, I say nothing, and I feel entangled. I occasionally refresh my Moments over and over to see who has updated their mood or selfie. I occasionally like or reply with an emoji, but rarely reply with a sentence."
"I'm twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. When I'm troubled, I no longer complain. I just sit quietly, watch quietly, and listen quietly to this realistic yet hypocritical world..."
As the story unfolded, many people were moved to tears without realizing it.
Isn't this me? Isn't this how I am? There are so many people around me, but I feel more and more lonely. In this huge city, I live like a zombie, unable to integrate into this city and unable to have a home.
Tears came to my eyes. Many people were moved to tears by these words.
"I'm twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old..."
"I clearly want to cry, but I'm still smiling."
“I clearly care, but I pretend not to care.”
"He clearly wanted to stay, but he was determined to leave."
"They are obviously in pain, yet they insist on saying they are happy."
"You clearly can't forget it, but you say you have forgotten it."
"You clearly can't let go, but you say she is she and I am me."
"You clearly can't bear to let go, but you say you've had enough."
"He was telling lies that were against his will, but he said they were his true feelings."
"Even though tears were about to overflow from my eyes, I still held my head high."
"It's obviously irreversible, but I still persist."
"You knew you were hurt, but you said you didn't have to feel like you owed me."
"I know it's exhausting to pretend like this, but I still have to. All this is just to hide my vulnerability. Even when I'm sad, I pretend it doesn't matter. I just don't want others to see my wounds, I don't want those around me to worry, I don't want others to sympathize with me. I just want to bear it all alone in my heart. Even though the pain makes it hard to breathe, I smile and tell everyone I'm fine. Then when I calm down, I laugh at myself. Why do I have to pretend to be so strong, as if I can bear all the suffering. Oh, it's so tiring, really tiring. I'm Su Xiaobai. Actually, the life I want is very simple, a home, and her..."
The video slowly ended with the narration. After a day of work, Su Xiaobai returned to her shabby rental apartment. After a simple meal, she lay down on her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling before turning off the lights. Tomorrow, life would repeat itself.
When the video was about to end, the barrage of comments started flying, and the comment section was extremely lively.
"Wow, Su Yang, damn it. Late at night, I'm covering my mouth and crying while watching this video..."
"I couldn't help crying just now. I had a few drinks after get off work today. Damn it, why should I take the blame..."
"Oh shit, shit, shit, I can't help it. I want to go back home. Life in Yanjing is too tiring..."
"My eyes are red. I'm 29 years old, and my life situation is exactly the same as Su Xiaobai's..."
"I'm the same, as if I'm talking about myself. A worker of this age can't afford to be hurt..."
"Hahahaha, damn it, I saved and saved for so many years, bought a car, and booked a house, but in the end my girlfriend ran away, hahahaha, fuck this damn society..."
It made me cry. It was just a short video of a few minutes, but it made many netizens cry.
Many people cried their hearts out in their beds after watching the video. Urban workers often just pretend to be strong.
This video and these words directly touched their hearts and resonated with them.
Surprise! This was the surprise Su Yang had given him. This surprise was truly too great. In just a few minutes, it had made countless people burst into tears.
After crying, many people began leaving messages in the comment section. Many more netizens even forwarded the video to their own WeChat Moments. Let's cry together. The popularity of this video began to ferment slowly that night!
