An Ordinary Man

Duanmu Zheng is an ordinary civil servant. The day his father fell seriously ill, he found a bank card from twenty years ago and checked the balance: 10.03 million yuan. Overnight, relatives came to borrow money, old friends suddenly became warm, colleagues wrote complaint letters, and his daughter was isolated by her classmates. Someone drew marks under his building and sent threatening texts late at night. Everyone was watching him, waiting for him to change. But he didn't want to change. He just wanted to pay off his debts and then ride his bike to work, with the same thermos in the basket. It was hard when he had little money, and even harder when he had a lot. He just wanted to keep his ordinary life—why was that so hard? — Description from novelcodex.org
