If you haven't eaten with tears, don't say you know the weight of tears.

A few days ago, an old video caught fire in my moments. Video shows a 30-year-old takeout brother, rain to deliver food. But when he went downstairs, the electric car parked outside disappeared, leaving only the yellow delivery box, which was left on the side of the road. The take-out boy saw all this and squatted in the heavy rain crying. A short moment, but let people have unspeakable affliction.
You never thought someone would cry about an electric car. What's he crying about? If you lose an electric car, you can't send the next order quickly, will be complained about, will affect your income. If the electric car does not get back, ten days of salary, may be hit the drain. He must buy a new car before he can continue the job. The money to buy a new car, probably a month's living expenses for his family, was intended to be used for training classes for children. What kind of suffering he has in his heart, you really won't understand.
There are too many people in this world who are not easy to live. After thirty, you have no right to be a poor man. You have a family behind you, you have a wife and children, you must seize every penny in your hand.

The question is: which scene makes you feel that life is not easy? I was impressed by one of the more than two thousand answers below.
The author said he often visited a Shandong pancake stand. Pancake seller, is an uncle, he has a lovely son, every afternoon, the little boy will come to his father's stall on time, on a plastic stool to do their homework. One afternoon, a man in a suit came to buy pancakes, and the uncle accidentally splashed some batter on him. A man in a suit and suit hurled abuse at his uncle. Uncle is very embarrassed, ceaseless apologies, did not have the slightest excuse. Almost ten minutes later, the man swore comfortably and the crowd dispersed. At this moment, the uncle went to the homework boy, gently touched his head.
There is a saying in see: behind some faces is the soul of clenching teeth. In fact, not only is clenched soul, sometimes, you have to bite the teeth, grievance to the heart to swallow. Grievances are not for other things, just to keep their families from making things worse.

As you get older, you'll find that a lot of things are less important than having a decent, normal life for your family. You don't want to be pushed away by life, but how many people are out of control? All you have to do is bear it alone.
The summer vacation before freshman, because of a failure to invest, my family is in trouble, and I can't afford my tuition. A week before the start of school, there was still a few thousand dollars short. But two days after his disappearance, my father suddenly told me that tuition had been raised, and even a full year's living expenses had been prepared. I have never asked, the origin of the tuition, I think, there must be a story I do not know.
After the master's degree, my father accidentally told me that he went to the next city, found a developed junior high school classmate, accompanied him to drink wine all night, and finally got the money. My father, who never flattered others, bent over for the first time in my life.
In this world, some people live in high buildings, some people are in deep ditches, some people are full of light, some people are all rusty. Some people can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a night, and some people, just to get their families to live a normal life, have done their best.

There are too many people around you who are struggling to make money. This kind of money has nothing to do with desire. They fought hard only because they had no right to be poor.
The takeaway uncle is likely to have a son in high school. The labourer, who worked late into the night at the construction site, would send home his sick mother in the first place when the salary came down. You ran into the young man who came to Didi after work, but you might not know that he worked four more hours a day just to get his son to a better kindergarten. In the early hours of the morning there were people coming and going, and others at a barbecue stall. In office buildings, some people stay up late and work overtime; some people change jobs again and again for a better-paid job.
Their purpose, clear and simple: even if life is hard, it is not defeated by life, but also to let the family lead a better life. It's not easy, it's all where you can't see it.

So, I hate to say that any time is quiet. If you haven't eaten with tears, don't say you know the weight of tears. If you don't have the worst life, don't say what it is to work hard. Never say that making money is not so important.
Sometimes, money is vulgar, but also temperature, is the most basic reliance and security. After thirty, you have no right to be a poor man again.
Because you are no longer a person, you must be accountable to more people. Because, life is more rare than you think. All you have to do is walk through the city, busy in the cubicle, trying to get ahead of the social food chain.
You have to run desperately, put up with all the difficulties, so that your family can lead an ordinary life. True heroism is to recognize the truth of life, and still love it.
In this world, there is only a strong life, even knowing that life is not easy, but also to go forward. There are things that you can't understand without being poor. May all those who fight for life be softened.
