When people reach middle age, the unspeakable helplessness and sadness can only be truly experienced by those who are immersed in the scene. Especially for those only children born in the 80s and 90s, this feeling may be even more profound.
Middle-aged people are like a bridge, connecting the old and the young, shouldering the heavy responsibility of taking care of the family, educating the children and supporting the elderly. Every day, they are running for life and giving for their families. Behind all this, there is a huge pressure.
In Chongqing, there is such an ordinary man. One day, he and his wife were having dinner and after three rounds of drinking, he sat down at the table and couldn't help but think back to the forty years he was about to enter.
He worked hard for a month, but his income was only 5,000 yuan. He did not dare to slack off in the slightest, because the burden of the family was on his shoulders. Still, he felt stressed and simply didn't have enough money.
When he confided in his wife about his pressure, his wife's sentence "Husband, I understand you" made him burst into tears instantly. The frustration and frustration made him unable to control his emotions, and tears rolled down his cheeks.
This man is a true portrayal of countless middle-aged people. They pay silently and are under great pressure just to give their families a better life. Their strength and perseverance deserve the respect and respect of each and every one of us.
Approaching the age of 40 is the time when family responsibilities are at their heaviest. With elderly parents to take care of and young children to raise below, the double pressure of family and career made him feel unbearable, and finally broke down and cried after a drink.
His monthly income is only 5,000 yuan, except for car loans, housing loans and children's education expenses, there is almost nothing left. He felt powerless to give his wife and children a better life, and this frustration and self-blame made his heart ache.
This eldest brother has been holding on to life. His wife had to stay at home because the family couldn't do without her. Watching the children grow up day by day, the eldest brother has to be like a clockwork that has been wound up every day, constantly busy.
I remember how happy I used to be when my family had a barbecue in the yard in the summer. But now, the eldest brother doesn't even have time to catch his breath, and he worries about the next meal and the future of the children all day long. I don't dare to relax on holidays, for fear that something will happen at home.
It's okay in the countryside, at least you can grow some vegetables to eat. But in the city, you have to buy everything, and the cost of living is overwhelming. The money you earn can never keep up with the speed at which you spend it, and that's the status quo for most people. The rich always seem to be so lucky, while the poor are always exhausted by life.
In fact, in real life, it is not uncommon for men like Big Brother to face huge financial pressure. Some people are unable to take on the responsibilities of their families because of poverty and laziness; Still others are even worse, they have domestic violence tendencies and will even betray their marriage.
Marriage is not child's play, it requires adequate preparation and the ability to bear it. Many young people are of marriageable age but are reluctant to get married. It's not that they don't want to get married, but they are afraid that they won't be able to shoulder the burden of the family and don't have enough financial resources to support the family's daily expenses and future plans.
However, we must also see that there are still many people in life who are struggling hard for the sake of their families and responsibilities. They may not have a good income, but they interpret responsibility and responsibility with hard work and sweat.
The story of the eldest brother touched me deeply, and it also made us understand: life does not sympathize with the weak, there is no easy word in the adult world, everyone is fighting for life.
We shouldn't laugh at anyone, because behind everyone there is an unknown bitterness. I hope that my eldest brother will be able to pay off the loan in the future and live an easier life.
