There are several twists and turns on the road to growth.
I water the flowers of my dreams with my sweat.
"Let anyone look down on me, mock me, or belittle me."
"Everyone can just laugh it off with a nonchalant smile..."
Inside the Xidan Shopping Mall, Wang Yueheng's singing voice echoed in everyone's ears.
Hearing this incredibly infectious singing voice, even customers who were initially indifferent to Wang Yueheng started to leave the shop.
I moved closer to the handrail to hear more clearly.
Unfortunately, the area around the railing was packed with people, making it impossible to squeeze in.
Zhang Chaoping, a construction worker covered in mud, squatted by the railing, staring blankly at Wang Yueheng's back below.
This song seems to have been written specifically for someone like him.
Every sentence is a true reflection of real life.
I do my best to survive every day.
While their peers were still playing games in internet cafes or doing various cosplay activities.
He himself entered society early and earned a meager living by selling his physical labor.
Looking at the work clothes covered in stains and mud.
He had become accustomed to being looked down upon.
Whenever I am looked down upon or ignored, I am used to just laughing it off.
He only hoped to make money in a big city, and then go back to his hometown to get married and have children.
This moment.
Zhang Chaoping suddenly felt as if he had become the protagonist in Wang Yueheng's song.
It's as if a close friend sang out the feelings deep in my heart.
Tears welled up in my eyes.
I share the same feelings as Zhang Chaoping.
And then there are the young office workers who are working overtime at their companies.
"Waaaa, Wang Yueheng's song is so relatable..."
"It's Saturday, but I'm still working overtime at the company! I'm using all my energy to earn a pittance!"
"I used to listen to his songs because they were good, but this time it feels like a song was written for me!"
"I worked non-stop during the May Day holiday, which almost drove me crazy. Now I have to work another holiday during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'm really exhausted."
"What's so special about this? At least people in big cities have weekends off. I've been working for over ten years and I still don't know what a weekend off is..."
"Even in a third-tier town, there isn't even a single day off per week. What can we do? We're just at the bottom of society!"
"I just want to ask one question: are there really any companies that offer extra paid leave as a benefit?"
In the live stream room.
Countless netizens who earn their wages through hard labor immediately expressed almost the same sentiment.
Prices have been rising continuously, the cost of living has been increasing year by year, but wages have not increased much.
Having finally saved up some money, they now face the pressure of buying a house and a car, which would drain the savings of six family members.
They should be young, dashing and spirited, enjoying poetry and wine while they are still young.
However, they are weighed down by the invisible pressures of life and cannot lift their heads, repeating the same monotonous work every day.
Just to earn a meager salary to survive.
There is another me in my heart.
"Stay with me and face loneliness."
When reality betrays you, you're tired, weary, and in pain.
"Learn to be carefree..."
now.
Zhang Songwen, who originally came for an audition, was standing at the back of the crowd.
My eyes also welled up with tears from the song, which resonated with everyone's feelings.
Because he has an average appearance and is not tall.
It doesn't fit the aesthetic standards of today's idol stars.
Zhang Songwen has missed out on countless roles that he had his eye on.
He was repeatedly rejected and discouraged by the director of the production team.
There are 365 days a year, or even more than 300 days, when there is no work to be found.
Even a well-known director advised him to his face: "No film crew wants you, what are you still persisting for? You should change careers as soon as possible and be realistic!"
Zhang Songwen himself had also wavered.
I doubt whether I am really not suited to be an actor.
But after repeatedly trying to leave the entertainment industry, he found that he could no longer give up his dream of acting.
It's a kind of love that's etched into your very bones.
No matter how hard or tiring life is, the thought of acting rekindles his hope for life.
This time.
Zhang Songwen felt that he must have encountered an opportunity.
