There are so many people who show off their wealth, how can they show off their bitterness and excitement?

Working in Japan for graduate school, 1 lost 40 pounds a year, and my fingers were covered with cracked scabs, serving dishes, selling sushi, and delivering newspapers ... Just as the "showing off wealth events" in Weibo emerged one after another, an album called "How can you show off your wealth so much?" became popular in the world, and its owner Zuo yesterday became the object sought after by many netizens. "I want to tell you that studying abroad is not a tour!" Left to say:

photo album

I took 37 photos of "Hyun Ku Brother" a year. Yesterday afternoon, Chengdu Evening News reporter logged into Renren. I found Zuo's personal homepage and special photo album through search. According to records, Zuo should be from Xining, Qinghai. In 2009, I graduated from chongqing technology and business university majoring in automation, and went to Japan for postgraduate study in April 20 10. In February 2010, I set up a study album of Renren.com. "Many people feel how happy they are to study abroad." The reporter saw that there were 37 photos in Renren.com's special album. "How can you show off your wealth so much?" From April 20 10, the first short hair was elegantly photographed in Japan, to February 20 1 1 year, it became long hair, rough fingers, ordinary residence and food, and so on. There are related explanations below each photo, which really has the wind of "dazzling bitterness".

Just recording life, I didn't expect it to be popular.

Zuo Yangmin has nearly 6,000 friends on Renren.com and many messages. In addition, netizens' messages, such as taking pictures of cats, were praised and questioned, and some even said, "Look at your camera, is it hard?" Speculation? ""If it's too bitter, why do you go abroad to study? "

Yesterday afternoon, the reporter contacted Zuo, who was in Japan, through Weibo's private letter and QQ. Zuo hasn't recovered from the sudden "red explosion" on the 28th: "When I came back today, many friends left me messages asking me what was going on, and suddenly I was afraid!" After staying in Japan for nearly two years, Zuo, who was admitted to a graduate school in Tokyo 1 month ago, told the Chengdu Evening News reporter that only a few netizens watched Renren.com's series of photos since they were posted in April, but yesterday, after posting the so-called "Hyun Ge" on Douban, Maopu and other websites, they suddenly became popular, attracting many questions.

Zuo said that people who go abroad have their own pursuits. Some people want to get a higher degree, while others just want to work hard. "One day, it snowed and I came back from delivering the newspaper. After taking a shower, I was very depressed to see that I was so thin, so I posted my first photo ... and I also hope that domestic netizens can see that not all international students are rich second generation. " Zuo said that he was not bitter, but just recording the real life of himself and the international students around him.

I am very sad and moved. 20 1 1 February, Zuo Lishu's "showing off wealth is out of date, showing off bitterness and wonderful. Studying abroad is not traveling, but recording the real life you don't know. Hundreds of thousands of people have seen his study abroad album. Some netizens left a message "It's sad and touching to see the album", and some netizens shared the message "It's a spur, it's an incentive".

Zuo said that the photo album was established in February, but it was not made public until May and June this year. "The original intention of establishing an album is to record the life of studying abroad and give yourself reasons to persist." He never thought he would be "red". After netizens posted on the cat's paw, visitors "read a lot at once, and thousands of people read it every day".

According to the net post, Zuo is preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination during his work in Japan. He lost 40 kilograms a year, 140 kilograms changed 100 kilograms, and testified with photos.

Zuo said that at that time, he rode his bike to deliver newspapers in the snowstorm, went home and took a bath, and found himself "thin and inhuman" before "venting photos". At that time, the photo album was not published.

In the student-oriented Renren.com, the most common messages are "As an international student, I can understand the hardships of the landlord", "I see motivation and pressure in you" and "Come on".

"There are many people who can bear hardships more than me."

Zuo's way to study in Japan is the most common: he is still studying in a language school and has classes from 1 to 5 pm every day. It has been admitted to the Graduate School of Japan University of Attention, and will enter the school in April next year and graduate from 20 14.

Arrive at 1 1 every morning after class. "Now I'm in a sushi factory," Zuo said. I was lucky to find this job, and it took me less than ten minutes by bike from home. When he got his first job in Japan, it took him more than an hour to ride a bike one way. "I insisted on quitting for half a year."

How to find a job in Japan? Zuo said, through the introduction of neighbors or through his own phone call. There is a special recruitment book in Japan, which you can get for free in convenience stores. However, it is not easy to find a job in a small city. "Last year, a newly arrived international student was looking for a job. He kept calling 1 month and spent thousands of phone bills (converted into RMB) to find his first job. "

After class in the afternoon, go home and cook by yourself (you can save money), surf the Internet for an hour, and then have a rest by reading.

He said that ordinary international students live by their own jobs. "It is difficult to worry about tuition and rent every day, sleep normally and sit quietly for a day."

International students usually find the cheapest fruit and vegetable shop to buy food. If they live far away, they will buy a lot of vegetables at one time, fill them with cartons, tie them in the back seat of their bicycles and transport them home. "Some vegetables and fruits in China are so cheap that they can't even be eaten in Japan." Zuo recorded in his photo album that in a fruit and vegetable shop near his residence, a bunch of grapes usually sold for 30 to 40 yuan (converted into RMB), and once there was a discount, he bought a bunch as long as he was in 67 yuan. The second summer in Japan is coming to an end, and he only ate grapes for the first time. "I used to eat at home."

However, Zuo doesn't like the name "Xuan Ge" given to him by netizens. "I am just an ordinary international student, and there are many people who can bear hardships more than me." Yesterday, he said that he didn't want to be the focus of public opinion, which has begun to affect his life. He still has a lot of things to do and can't deviate from his original intention.

His parents are happy to see that he can bear hardships.

He was prepared for hardship before going abroad.

Zuo said that when he first arrived in Japan, life was very difficult. Language barrier, work and study are inconvenient. After studying for a while, I began to get better. Before he found a job delivering newspapers, he didn't have a job for nearly two months, "making ends meet".

He usually delivers newspapers by motorcycle, but he doesn't have a driver's license, so he rides a bike first. He delivers 100 newspapers at 3 am every day, and normally gets off work at 5: 30, "sitting down and falling asleep". There happened to be a snowstorm last year, so he couldn't ride a bike. He had to push the cart, and the ice on the wheels was stuck and it was difficult to move, so he put the cart down and walked like that all night. After delivering the newspaper, it will light up after 8 o'clock.

"At that time, I really couldn't hold on, and I didn't want to send it." But he thought that he came to Japan to exercise himself and force himself to suffer hardships, just to find inner stability. Isn't that what he wants? I insist.

There are many ways to exercise yourself. Why do you have to suffer so much?

Zuo said that from high school to college, his grades were not very good, and only by his last efforts could he succeed. Some of his relatives are studying abroad, and knowing that studying abroad is hard, they choose to study abroad, forcing themselves to double their exercise in three or four years. In addition, there is another important reason, he likes photography.

"Japanese photography is very strong." He originally wanted to learn this skill systematically in Japan, but the tuition fee was too high. I have to work for more than ten hours every day. I tried several times, but my body couldn't stand it.

He had to change his major in economics. "But photography is still my dream." Now he doesn't have to go to work one day a week, so he takes photos everywhere and uploads them online. I usually take pictures on my way to school and home.

Before going abroad, my parents worried that I couldn't stand it. "I am very happy now," he said. Dad was also very diligent when he was young, and he also sent him a sentence:

Knowledgeable, questioning, thoughtful, discerning and practical, he posted it on the wall. "I want to go back to China through hard work and training, and be a person who is beneficial to society," said Zuo Yangmin. "A little official", but he really thinks so.

The following interview is quoted from Beijing Youth Daily:

Dialogue only wants to record life, but I didn't expect it to be popular.

Reporter: Why did you open this study abroad album at that time?

Left: I like photography and always record my life with photos. It began in Japan many years ago. This photo album only puts representative international students together, and also lets everyone know that international students are not just rich second generation, but most of them live like me. Of course, the first year or two of studying in Japan is bitter, but it will get better gradually, so it is a bitter theme from the beginning, but this theme will change later. There are also hundreds of photos recording other details of life in Japan, which are in other photo albums.

Reporter: How do you view your sudden popularity on the Internet?

Left: The existing information on the Internet misinterpreted my original intention. I used photos to record my life many years ago, not for hype, as some people questioned. If many friends hadn't left me messages asking me what was going on, I didn't know I was suddenly red, and even I was scared.

Reporter: How does popularity affect you?

Left: These days, due to this incident, the learning efficiency is relatively poor and needs to be adjusted as soon as possible. There were some misunderstandings about me on the internet, so I had to read it, which delayed me for a few days. I am also worried that I will disappoint everyone if I don't work hard enough, but it is also good to give myself a motivation to make progress.

Reporter: Did you suffer these hardships when you were in China?

Left: In China, we are considered as an ordinary family, but I have never suffered these hardships. Before I came, I knew that working and studying in Japan was the hardest, so I chose to come to Japan. However, in the year or two before studying abroad, self-funded international students with ordinary family conditions have nothing to suffer, and will gradually get better. Anyway, I am an ordinary international student. I don't work very hard. I suffered greatly from it. There is a doctor brother upstairs who works harder than me and has more pressure to study. The girls in my work unit do more work than I do.

Reporter: What's your living condition now?

Left: I took the postgraduate entrance examination. I'm preparing for the Japanese Level 1 exam now. Next April, I will go to Tokyo's Lee Seung University for graduate study, which is also known as Japan's University. Because I have to prepare for the Japanese level 1 exam, I only have one job now, making sushi in a sushi factory. Get off work at 5 o'clock every morning to 1 1 o'clock, go to school in the afternoon and study at night.
