When you reach a certain age, no one forgives you for being poor

In one of the ** I saw, it tells about a 26-year-old young man Zhou, who has been working in Zhejiang since he dropped out of school. This year, his factory was shut down, so he went home early for the New Year. However, when he got home, his father did not look forward to his return home, but angrily urged him to hurry back to work. This scene is sad and helpless, because in low-income families, what they need is to "pick up money" and go home instead of going home early. This situation reminds people of the saying: "When you reach a certain age, no one will forgive you for being poor." Although this sentence may seem cruel, it actually reveals the reality of the adult world. Relationships between people are often linked by money. In the face of difficult situations in life, money is often the key. Only by constantly making money can we maintain a relatively stable life. Only by being prepared for danger in times of peace can we keep life stable in the face of accidents. The sense of security and the right to make free choices as adults are given by money.

In the documentary ".Emergency roomIn the story, there is a father and son in Shanghai who caught my attention. The 28-year-old son does it in a supermarketTally clerk, only more than 2,000 yuan per month. This money is not only used to cover living expenses, but also to take care of his father, who is getting worse and worse. The hospital is like a money shredder to them. One day, the 65-year-old father was suspected of having a heart attack and was sent inEmergency room。The son only had more than 100 yuan of food money, and he had to scrape together and barely scrape together 1,300 yuan for the hospitalization fee, but the money was not enough to pay for various examinations and expenses after admission. The father was lying on the verge of death in his hospital bed, but the son could not do anything. All that left him was despair and guilt. He had to borrow money again, but while he was borrowing, his father passed away quietly. The father and son didn't even see each other for the last time, and he cried bitterly in the hospital. This scene is full of sadness, but it is extremely real. If he had enough money, maybe his father would have lived a little longer. But sometimes poverty makes you lose the power to choose. Just like the stevedore, he carries 30 tons of feed per hour and works 12 hours a day. Isn't this overload of work tiring? But he couldn't stop because he had four children to feed. Like that only child, he had to scramble to take care of his parents who suffered from cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage. He didn't want to look for itCaregiversHelp? But he also has his children's school fees, his parents' medical expenses, living expenses, and a car and house mortgage. He can't afford itCaregivers。When we were children, we always felt that in this world, there were many people who worked hard just to make ends meet. They can't choose the jobs they love, only those that make money. For them, money is the only support in life and the key to changing their fate.

However, money doesn't solve all problems. In the TV series "It's All Good", it tells the story of a middle-aged woman who has been trying to make money because of her mother-in-law's request. She became an executive in a large company and earned a considerable fortune. But her mother-in-law didn't care about her efforts and only cared about the money she brought. During an argument, her mother said to her, "How great you think you are, but you're just a money-making machine." This sentence made her feel extremely lost and heartbroken. What she longs for is to be understood, cared for, and loved, not just to be seen as a money earner.

Money is important, but between peopleEmotionand relationships are more important. While pursuing money, we should also be the people around us and truly care about their needs and feelings. We can change our lives through money, but we can't let money be the only way we know the world and others. As human beings, we should maintain a sincere affection for family, friendship, and love while pursuing wealth. Only in this way can we have a complete and happy life.
