Chapter 1106 The Collapsed Young Man from Beijing, Empathizing with His Heartache and Struggle "Yue Heng! Are you alright!"
At this moment, Mo Zixue, who had just gotten out of a taxi not far away, looked panicked and ran over to them.
"Let me go! Let me die! I'm useless! I can't live anymore!"
The man struggled on the ground, weeping bitterly, his emotions collapsing.
"Brother, if you're not afraid of death, why be afraid of living! What can't we overcome!"
Wang Yueheng held the man down firmly to prevent him from doing anything foolish, while shouting loudly.
Soon, Mo Zixue and the taxi driver also ran over and helped to restrain the agitated and struggling man.
The driver quickly took out his phone to call the police and an ambulance.
The man's cries echoed across the silent bridge, attracting the attention of many passing drivers.
"Young man! Don't do anything foolish!"
"If there's anything bothering you, just say it!"
"Exactly, they're so young, they have a long road ahead of them!"
Several kind-hearted people passing by gathered around and offered their advice.
Some people even stood next to the railing to prevent the man from jumping off the bridge a second time.
"Let me die... Why won't you let me die... What's the point of me living... I'm just a piece of trash..."
Perhaps it was the sudden attention and pressure, or perhaps it was the pent-up frustration that had nowhere to go.
The man's struggles gradually weakened, and he slumped onto the cold, rough bridge surface, covering his face with his hands.
Instead, a weak wail erupted.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Tell me, maybe I can help you think of a solution."
An older passerby, who looked like a government official, squatted down, handed over a tissue, and asked with concern.
Perhaps touched by the stranger's kindness, the man raised his head and stared blankly ahead with his bloodshot eyes.
"Five years... I've been in Kyoto for five years!"
"Back then, I left my hometown with just a backpack, thinking that this big city was full of opportunities..."
"And what happened? I'm still living in that run-down rented room outside the Fourth Ring Road!"
"It's such a tiny place, you can barely turn around... Every day I wake up to rent, utilities, and transportation costs..."
The other person seemed to be talking to themselves, or perhaps making an accusation.
"This morning... just this morning, I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop."
"An elderly woman got off the bus with her grandson. The child lost his balance and fell, crying loudly. I kindly went to help him up..."
"In that short moment, the bus I was supposed to take drove away right in front of me!"
"I ran and chased as fast as I could... but it was no use... I could only watch it drive away..."
"As a result, I was late for the meeting, and the boss yelled at me in front of the whole department."
"They said I have no sense of time, that I'm hopeless, and not only did they dock my perfect attendance bonus for the month... they also want to fire me..."
At this point, the man began to breathe heavily again, and tears streamed down his face even more profusely.
"I've wanted to quit this job for ages! I'm constantly being bullied, and the little money I earn isn't enough to live on."
"But do I dare to quit? I don't dare! If I quit, how will I pay the rent next month? How will I eat?"
My parents back home are still counting on me to send money back...
As the man sobbed with tears streaming down his face, the passersby gradually fell silent, unsure of how to comfort him.
"Just last week... my girlfriend of eight years... the girl I've liked since junior high... she ran off with someone else!"
"My best buddy! The rich kid whose family got rich overnight from a land expropriation!"
“She told me, ‘Shi Meng, you can’t give me the life I want, I can’t wait any longer…’”
"Eight years! The best years of my youth, she was in all my plans... all gone... all fucking gone!"
