Zhang Liang also instantly felt the taste of poverty.

Zhang Liang was in the same class as his twin sister. Her sister was in the top three in the class every time, and he was in the bottom three.

At that time, the hotel where he worked was acquired and collective layoffs were laid off. Zhang Liang had to find another job, to another Work as a hotel chef.

In a windowless room on the third floor underground, I began to build my new life. At that time, his life suddenly became difficult. At one time, he only had seven yuan left on him, and he could only survive on flatbread, pickled mustard and boiled water every day.

After surviving the desperate situation, life ushered in a turning point. A certain sports brand took a fancy to Zhang Liang’s height and asked him to work as a salesman. Because the rented place was far away from the store, he had to work at 5:30 every day. I went out and arrived at the store at 7:40, but my life still hadn’t improved much. At this time, another door began to open for Zhang Liang. He had a friend who was a model. Because he took on two conflicting jobs in one day, he asked Zhang Liang to go to an interview for him. Although the interview was not successful, an agent left Zhang Liang's phone number. A week later, Then I asked him to go to another event for an interview, and that was it. Only then did Zhang Liang realize that he could still do this business, and he felt a little more confident.

The happiness brought by family cannot be compared with material things

At the end of 2003, Zhang Liang, who was still working as a shopping guide, was introduced by a friend to his wife Kou Jing, who was still studying at the time. They left each other's phone numbers and sent text messages to eat, and the two slowly started to get together. After a year of dating, Kou Jing also graduated, and Zhang Liang got married.

Many friends around me don't dare to get married, and even if they do, they don't dare to have children. They are busy with their careers and repaying loans, and have no energy to take care of their families. But I think the happiness that family brings to people is something that material things cannot give you. ?

It would be best to have a son and a family. The three of them live a quiet life without being disturbed. We sincerely wish that his modeling career will go further and further, and that he and his family can live his ideal life, which is warm, happy and sweet.
