Xu Xiaomao, 28 years old.

Occupation: reporter

I came to Shanghai alone the year I graduated.

No job, no friends,

In the poorest time,

I can't even afford to buy a subway ticket for an interview.

All this has destroyed me again and again.

One day,

A friend who lives in the lower bunk of my bed.

Bought me a meat steamed stuffed bun.

After I took it,

My nose suddenly cried,

I think this is a good friend of my life.

Since then, when I have no money,

I'll stop her on her way to work. ...

Xiaohong, 26 years old

Occupation: editor

The hardest year in life is 20 12.

Body, work and everything,

Are the lowest points in life.

During that time, I went to the hospital to get medicine every week.

But every time you register, you wait in line,

Including subway transfer along the way,

This makes me feel extremely painful.

It took me a long time to recover.

Thank you. In those ten months,

Always with my friends,

Listen to me patiently, chat with me,

Support me until now.

Nothing can kill me,

This will only make me stronger.

That year, I bid farewell to the darkness,

Don't be afraid anymore.

Mustard sauce, 29 years old

Occupation: DJ

In the year of graduation,

I walked on the streets of foreign countries,

Listening to a language with no sense of belonging.

I'm at a loss,

I don't know whether I should stay in this strange country,

Still going back to China.

I think there's no one here,

You can turn on the light at home and wait for me to get back.

It's getting colder and colder,

Snowflakes drifted down unconsciously.

I came home with unmelted snow.

The phone rang,

It's 10000 kilometers away, mom.

She said, come back when you feel homesick,

We will pick you up at the airport,

Cook your favorite dishes for you.

Simple as it is,

But I can't stop crying.

A week later,

I bought a plane to go home,

I know,

This country doesn't belong to me,

Never.

Home is the place where I am most attached and reluctant to give up.

Lainey, 26.

Occupation: Designer

Five years ago, despite parents' opposition,

I came to Shanghai alone.

I always feel that I am eating alone.

It's no big deal to watch a movie or go shopping.

Until a rainstorm,

No umbrella, no money to take a taxi,

And there's no one to look for.

I squatted silently in the subway station, waiting for the rain to stop.

Go home at two o'clock in the morning and cry in the quilt.

Get up early for work at 7 o'clock the next day …

Now, whether it is winter or summer,

The umbrella won't leave.

In this city,

I have several friends who can be harassed at any time:)

Xu Shan, 35 years old

Occupation: Head of department

20 10 was my hardest year.

It's sad to break up on your 30th birthday.

I gave up writing my master's thesis and didn't have a job.

Three-digit deposit, online cash account stolen.

Later, as a good friend of a big company executive, he insisted

Hang my brief introduction on my work msn signature.

So I found my present job.

I will go in the first two weeks of work.

I had a minor operation,

But I dare not take a day off.

Fortunately, it was the Dragon Boat Festival.

You can rest for two more days.

I dare not ask for leave when changing dressing.

The gauze was stuck for 5 days and the wound festered.

It took a month to fully recover.

After working for almost two years, I took the first day off.

Bought a house and went through the formalities.

Now, I have a department.

Meng Xiao, 26.

Occupation: lead singer of the band

People occasionally have a particularly unlucky period of time.

I got sick and had an operation,

Postoperative wound infection,

There is a rotten hole in the stomach;

Mother is very ill,

Wandering on the line of life and death;

The dog who accompanied the whole family 12 years passed away.

Every morning, there are no more annoying little people to wake up early.

But I still habitually wake up at half past six;

The computer was suddenly scrapped,

The music I've been working hard on for years,

All the manuscripts written are gone;

Work is not smooth, and I hit a wall on all kinds of small things. ...

These things were concentrated in just a few months and suddenly broke out.

It really makes people want to cry.

I used to lead a very self-destructive life.

Stay up all night,

Untouched,

Gluttony,

People have gained more than ten catties at once,

Don't even want to go out,

I don't even want to look in the mirror.

Fortunately, there are books and music.

Give people a hiding place,

You can look at other people's lives and cry,

You can say to yourself:

You're not the worst,

Don't be fucking depressed, get up and get high!

Flora, 32 years old

Occupation: Financial analyst

2008 is my first year in Beijing.

Living in a group rental house like honeycomb briquette in Tiantongyuan

Then I entered a company in a daze.

Abnormal work intensity, often staying up late.

One summer night.

I'm on my way home.

The beauty of the sunset made me cry.

Because I have been for two months in a row.

Go out at eight o'clock,

Trot all the way to catch the last bus home at 22:40.

At that moment,

I think the sun has gone for a long time.

After working for a year,

I hesitate to resign from that company.

Hang handover information on QQ

As a result, unexpectedly. ...

A lot of jobs come to you,

I chose a company that I like best.

Became a director

In retrospect,

I am very grateful to myself who struggled at that time!

Grateful to the original company

That year,

Taught me a lot with high intensity.

It also makes me cherish my present job more.

Antlers, 28 years old

Occupation: internet company hr

I had just graduated at that time.

As soon as my best friend graduated from college, his mobile phone stopped and he lost contact.

Always holding "why do you want me to find her,

Instead of her coming to my self-esteem.

Try not to find her home or contact her other friends.

At the same time, the work is not smooth,

All kinds of maladjustments.

It was a terrible year.

On New Year's Eve that year,

Miss her very much,

So I put down my ridiculous self-esteem.

Finally, I tried to call her home several times.

Finally asked about her new mobile phone.

When I found her,

They both cried for a long time.

Of course, there is a reason for losing contact.

She's been through a lot, too

Since then,

Even if she is on the other side of the ocean,

We haven't lost touch.

A year later, we all pulled ourselves together,

Support each other and move on.

So thanks for a hard year,

Let's reunite after separation,

Let us believe that in each other's lives, each other is indispensable.

Yu, 30 years old

Occupation: cleaner

One summer night seven years ago,

A coffee shop near Shanghai Gymnasium,

I accidentally in front of my girlfriend.

Revealed the nature of evil,

She was desperate for me that night,

We didn't say anything.

Two people walk from Shanghai Gymnasium to Century Park.

Walk from midnight to early morning.

When we walked to Century Park,

She shed her first tear,

I thought it was irreversible. ...

After a week without thinking about tea and rice,

I wrote her a letter,

This is the second letter I have written since primary school.

I feel very relaxed and relieved after writing.

Have a big appetite,

Halfway through the meal,

I got a call from her,

Invite me to the bar where we first met.

Now, she is my wife.

Liu Publishing House, 33 years old

Occupation: general manager of cultural company

In my present life,

The hardest part was in 2006,

I interviewed 27 cultural companies in a row.

Has been ruthlessly rejected 27 times,

When my last interview was over,

I stood on the side of the road,

I think I really can't get through it.

Just find a construction site in Beijing to screen sand.

With this in mind,

I feel that my future is still very bright.
