Who in their twenties does not endure hardships?

Text | Wanxi

Sister Aru is one of the most exciting women around me. .

She runs the most famous wedding photography agency in the local area, with an endless stream of customers, and has opened branches in the two neighboring cities. It’s not exactly a daily income, but it is definitely a successful example of entrepreneurship.

A year ago, I went to her photo studio to take wedding photos, and I saw her sitting at the front desk with a smile on her face, her long hair combed into a high bun, revealing her slender neck, and a simple pearl The necklace and black dress made her elegant and dignified, without any trace of the businesswoman's philistine shrewdness.

Coincidentally, more than ten days later, I met her again at a poetry recital. That day she wore a lavender cheongsam and performed the song "Rain Alley" by Dai Wangshu vividly.

I sat in the audience and watched, and I just felt that this woman who was over forty still had a noble and beautiful poetic heart. No wonder her eyes were so soft and her manner so dignified.

Later, we gradually got to know each other, and she would recommend a few books from time to time, or invite me to go swimming and practice yoga. I have been to her house several times and saw her baking cakes and making tea, serving them with exquisite pottery and placing them on the small balcony with lush flowers and trees. It was really pleasing to the eye.

We talked about the past and the present, and she often had insightful and witty remarks that made people forget about the vulgar.

I secretly guessed that she came from a scholarly family and was carefully raised since she was a child. She learned to play the piano and recite poetry, and she was always favored by fate. At that time, I felt that only girls who were nourished by both superior material and rich spirit could grow up to be extraordinary.

But, I was wrong.

It turns out that such an elegant, calm and poetic woman like Sister Aru also has a disgraced and busy 20-year-old.

She was born in an ordinary farm family in a poor mountain village. She was excellent in both morals and academics, but she couldn't afford high school tuition, so she had to give up her dream of going to college and went to a technical secondary school.

Unexpectedly, the policy changed drastically that year, and the state no longer assigned jobs to technical secondary school graduates. She had no power and no background, so she finally got into a kindergarten as a teacher.

In order to pay off the 3,000 yuan loan she owed while studying, Sister Aru used her time off work and weekends to work as a wedding officiant. At that time, she could earn 40 yuan for a performance. One year later, she finally paid off the loan, and two years later, she had her first 10,000 yuan.

Later she met Mr. Right, a man who loved photography. It was the end of the last century, and wedding photography in small cities had just begun to take off. Sensitive sister Aru realized the business opportunity, so she borrowed 50,000 yuan from relatives and friends, and opened a wedding photography shop with her husband.

Unfortunately, the business was not well managed at the beginning of the business. They lost nearly 100,000 yuan in the first year and owed their employees wages, and their life suddenly fell into the abyss.

In order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, the couple worked hard, setting up street stalls, selling popsicles, barbecuing, and everything else. During those days, they always had to wait until it was almost dark before going to the vegetable market to buy leftovers for a dime a pound. Eating shredded pork with green pepper once a week would improve their food.

She was pregnant with Liujia at the time, and when it was time to give birth, she had to shamelessly scrape together two thousand yuan before being admitted to the hospital...

After giving birth to the child, Sister Aru, however, went to developed cities to study and learn from other people's photo studio business concepts and marketing strategies without hesitation. A year later, she finally turned a profit and made her first pot of gold.

At that time, Sister Aru had already celebrated her 30th birthday. She devoted her bright and beautiful twenties to the hardships of starting a business and the difficulty of life. But when she talked about it, she was always grateful for who she was at that time.

Only those in their twenties who dare to think and do things and are hardworking enough can be qualified to welcome the abundant food and clothing in their thirties and the elegance and calmness in their forties.

Every step now is the cornerstone and pavement for the future. There is no road traveled in life in vain, and no hardship suffered in vain.

For young people from ordinary backgrounds, their twenties are really not a glorious time.

I am new to school and have little experience. Stumbles at work, confusion in life, and worries about gains and losses in emotions. Because we are new here, we are in awe of this bizarre adult world. You have to learn little by little to do things and be a good person, and you have to be cautious at all times. It really won't be easy.

No one promises you a bright future, your parents can't pave the way, your relatives and friends can't help you, and the only one who can fight is you.

The first thing to face is, of course, poverty.

My best friend Taozi’s monthly salary was less than 2,000 in the first year of work. She was too embarrassed to reach out to the house, so she had to live frugally and was unwilling to change a pair of sneakers until they leaked. On a rainy day, I went to work dripping with water. My feet were dripping wet, but I still pretended to be nonchalant and chatted and laughed with my colleagues.

You must have been in such a difficult and helpless time, worrying about the rent, water and electricity bills, and worrying about the price of a rice bowl and noodles. But when my parents called to ask, they laughed loudly and said that I was doing well.

The second thing to face is work pressure.

In the year I graduated, I worked as an intern in a state-owned enterprise, and most of my job was to organize leadership speeches. This leader likes to give long speeches, which can last for two or three hours, and he speaks in a dialect that is difficult to understand.

I often get confused listening to the recordings. I can neither understand his pronunciation nor the professional vocabulary. In order to sort out the manuscript within the specified time limit, I sacrificed almost all my rest time and made my nose full of tears.

But this is just the beginning. The interviews and articles that follow almost fill my next ten years. Until now, I am still trudging on this road. I often think of Wang Xiaobo’s Sentence:

"Today I am 21 years old. In the golden age of my life, I have many extravagant hopes. I want to eat, I want to love, and I want to become a cloud that flickers in the sky in an instant. ”

I also want to eat, love, and become a free cloud, but there is no vast sky for me to be carefree.

There are a lot of young people like me in the city. Among those little accountants, designers, salesmen, and clerks from ordinary backgrounds, who has never been short of money and sleepless? Almost all of us in our twenties are immersed in the intense busyness of work and struggling for life. , dreams and future with all your strength.

In fact, many people grow up in their twenties after leaving school.

After we face the wind and frost of this world alone, we truly understand the hardships of our parents, and know how to use the attitude of an adult to work hard and endure. The beauty of breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly is actually nurtured in the pain of transformation.

Being in your twenties is a time of hardship. The so-called youth is capital, not only a charming face and a youthful body, but also the ability to endure hardship and the courage not to be afraid of starting over.

The only question is whether the hardships you endure can illuminate the way forward.

Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. What it cannot do. You see, Master Meng has already explained that the meaning of hardship is to cultivate abilities and qualities that you did not have before.

When she was 20 years old, Zhao Liying was still working as a walk-on on various film sets. She had been seen rolling her eyes and suffered from idleness, but this did not prevent her from guessing other people's movements and eyes and thinking about the essence of acting. The lifelike characters we saw later all came from her early forging and tempering.

Zhang Ailing said that it is important to become famous as early as possible, but not everyone is gifted. More ordinary life is about taking one step at a time, using today's hard work in exchange for tomorrow's fruits.

Life is a continuous accumulation process, and all success is not a castle in the air. Those solid foundations must be laid little by little through the efforts of youth.

The era we live in is characterized by class consolidation and counterattack difficulties, but it is by no means an era that turns a blind eye to sacrifice. What’s lovely about it is that it recognizes your dedication and hard work.

The real golden age is when the spring breeze blows away all the wild sand and you can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.
