Shenzhen Has No Tears for the Post-80s
by 君是少年郎
Chen Dongsheng, a post-80s rural boy, lost his mother at three and ventured to Shenzhen at sixteen with only 300 yuan. Working as a porter, he was fired for looking like a thief due to his long hair; at his lowest, he hid in a cemetery urn during a rainstorm. He worked his way up from assembly line to workshop supervisor in a toy factory, saving the boss's wife during a riot. She offered to introduce her three fair-skinned cousins, but he refused when he earned 1,000 yuan a month while they earned 4,000. He met a well-off girl whose brother offered a wedding house, but his sister broke them up: 'Do you deserve it?' He married hastily, had a child, started a factory, and went bankrupt two years later. He partnered again, but his partner absconded with funds while he cared for his dying father, leaving him with millions in debt. His wife demanded 9,000 yuan monthly and treated him coldly. He delivered food, worked as a porter, and ate only instant noodles on his 36th birthday. But he never gave up. Shenzhen has no tears; once he crawled out of the urn, he would never fall again.
