I am Yu Huanshui: Middle-aged men’s weakness all starts with lack of money. What do you think of this?

Yu Huanshui's Middle-aged Dilemma

There is a very popular drama called "I am Yu Huanshui". Many people say that the filming is too real and it is simply a portrayal of life.

I finally caught up with this drama during the May Day holiday, but after only watching the first episode, I couldn’t stand it, because Yu Huanshui is so miserable. When middle-aged people, children At the age of eight, all the bad things happened suddenly.

I was disliked and criticized by my wife at home, ostracized and ridiculed by my boss and colleagues at the company, and bullied by my neighbors in the community. I lent the only 130,000 yuan left by my mother to my friend. It was out of trust, but when I asked for repayment, I was coaxed and deceived by the other party, and went further and further away.

All the embarrassment, embarrassment, and helplessness of middle-aged men are all transferred to Yu Huanshui. We can feel the middle-aged atmosphere of depression, helplessness, and even despair through the screen.

And all of this actually stems from the accident that caused Yu Huanshui to miss the opportunity to start a business.

At the beginning of the TV series, Yu Huanshui drove his motorcycle and was rushing to the site where he was introducing the project to the investment bosses. On the phone, he told the other party: No matter what, we must hold them back, we will be there soon. This is definitely a good project to make money.

However, without paying attention, the speeding motorcycle was knocked to the ground by a bus. Yu Huanshui missed the opportunity to introduce the project, missed the investors, and missed the business that could have made him rich.

Ten years later, when I was working as an ordinary cable salesman, my former glory had long since faded, and I looked like a loser.

The apprentice that Yu Huanshui brought out by himself was openly angry with him. His wife sat in someone else's car and complained about him and betrayed him.

However, all the reasons point to one fact: Yu Huanshui has no money and is poor.

Once people become poor, even their own dogs may hate you because you can’t give them bones to eat, let alone people! The world is hot and cold, and the warmth and coldness of human relationships can be seen.

Most of the frustrations of middle-aged people are due to lack of money

How important is money?

When I was young, one person had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry. If I had no money, I could eat instant noodles for a month and wait until my salary was paid next month.

But when you reach middle age, there are seniors and juniors, and you are surrounded by people who are counting on you to make money to live. If you are still poor and have no money, you really don’t even have the dignity of a man. .

This year, due to the epidemic, many small business owners have been unable to open their businesses, but they still have to pay high rents. For example, the catering industry, tourism industry, and foreign trade industry have all been hit hard; as the epidemic continues to spread across the world, As the epidemic spread, many factories shut down, and many workers at the bottom were directly cut off from their source of income.

According to statistics, 75,000 people became Meituan riders during the epidemic. Because of the epidemic, there are three times more taxi drivers in Beijing this year than last year.

These two professions may have been looked down upon by many people, but due to lack of money, many people who used to work in offices and even programmers had to bow to reality and "dedicate themselves" to making money.

In the TV series "Everything is Fine", Su Mingzhe, the eldest son of the Su family, originally had a decent job and life in the United States. However, because of his mother's death, he asked for leave from the company and returned to China. It happened that the boss of the company Due to layoffs, he, who had a good relationship with his boss, was not spared and was fired by the company.

I originally thought that a good job would be easy to find, but I was repeatedly rejected in interviews and never found a job.

Later, when eating in a restaurant, a food delivery waiter greeted him, and he realized that it was his former colleague. An excellent programmer has now become a waiter.

Su Mingzhe was very emotional.

He was originally a person who loved face very much. He would rather be idle at home than do a job that he felt was not worthy of his status. Although his wife told him to put down the unnecessary face, no matter what, he would work hard. We can earn some money by working part-time jobs so that we can survive.

In the end, after going round and round, as arrogant as Su Mingzhe, he returned to the United States and worked an ordinary job.

When you reach middle age, reality will force you to surrender. Even if you kneel down to make money, you have to do it, because life is cruel and you can’t live without money.

Written at the end

There was once a popular saying on the Internet, which probably means: Why do many men like to stay alone in the car for a while when they get home from get off work?

Because I have many roles, heavy responsibilities, and high pressure, I need a space of my own to breathe.

When you reach middle age, you are no longer yourself. You carry our family on your shoulders, including the mortgage and car loan, your parents’ medical expenses, your children’s education expenses, and your wife’s beauty expenses. Even though it’s as hard as an old cow, you may not be able to meet everyone’s expectations.

The famous Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore once said in the book "Judge": When people reach middle age, they will give up the illusory world and unrealistic desires, and always limit them to what they can do. .

Being down-to-earth and making money to support your family may be the minimum requirements for middle-aged people.

However, Mr. Qian Zhongshu also said: When a person reaches middle age, as long as either of the two basic desires for food and sex is still strong, the person is not considered old.

So, instead of complaining, let’s work hard, make money and live a good life.

You have to know that middle-aged people’s frustrations all start from lack of money, and middle-aged men who have no ability to make money are doomed to be surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Everyone wants a better life, and everyone is trying their best to live.

The difference is, have you allowed your family to live a better life, and have you gained the respect and status you deserve through your own efforts?
