Recently, the entry "stupid, poor and vain" was hotly searched, because LV and three cafes in Shanghai released a canvas bag with the brand logo for a limited time, priced at up to 580 yuan.
But this brand-name bag has no characteristics at all, or even mediocre, but there are people who have a long line for it, for that vanity, both hands offer their hard-earned money, and this "admiration" atmosphere has long been around.
"LV" co-branded canvas bags
As early as 2007, Jobs came out with the bitten "Apple", and the "iPhone" gradually became a "palm treasure" favored by young people, and it seems that having the latest "iPhone" has a superior sense of superiority.
At that time, the latest "iPhone4" under the banner of "high-end atmospheric grade" was speculated to more than 4,000 yuan a piece, and the crowd of people who snapped up purchases was as crowded as it is now, and even more than that.
But one of them, a 17-year-old boy who "followed the trend", paid the most expensive price for this high-end phone, and now 12 years later, what happened to this boy? What exactly did he go through to buy a mobile phone? Is "superiority" really important?
Rush to buy
"Flower season rainy season"
In 2011, Wang Gang, who was in his youth, had just started his summer vacation, but before he and his partners could experience the heat of the heat, he was sent to the hospital ward, and the whole person was weak.
Parents sitting in front of the hospital bed, looking at their son's dying appearance, are full of collapse, their anxious eyes are full of distress, and all this has to start from the beginning.
A dying boy
Wang Gang, who just turned 17 years old, in the eyes of his parents, has excellent academic performance, is practical and hardworking, and has used his free time to share family pressure with "part-time", but I don't know when Wang Gang, who has been lively and active, suddenly became very lethargic, and the whole person languished.
At first, Wang Gang's parents only thought that the pressure of study was too great, and their son usually did not rest well, and should use the summer to supplement sleep, and they did not go to their hearts.
But slowly, the parents found that their son, who had been very close to them, had a dodge and estrangement from them.
Young boy
In the past, Wang Gang was very grinning, and when he took a bath and changed clothes, he had no scruples about his parents, but now he has changed his normal attitude, especially when changing clothes, he is even more cautious, as if he is afraid that his parents will see his body.
However, such behavior was seen by parents and still did not arouse alarm, they thought that the son had grown up and learned to pay attention to privacy, but still did not go to the heart.
As Wang Gang dangled in front of his parents with an unfamiliar new mobile phone, they slowly frowned at their son's behavior.

At the beginning of the holiday, Wang Gang's parents felt very puzzled, because their son often held a mobile phone and had fun, and asked Wang Gang where he came from, and he only prevaricated that he borrowed it from a friend.
In the concept of parents, mobile phones are valuables, and borrowed things always have to be returned, but Wang Gang has been playing with this "borrowed" mobile phone for a long time, and there is no meaning of returning it at all.
The most important thing is that since having this mobile phone, Wang Gang's complexion has become more and more ugly, a small face that should be energetic is often miserable white and sallow, originally the parents were not impressed, but until they pushed open their son's bedroom door, they found Wang Gang's abnormality.
Sick children
That day, Wang Gang slept until three o'clock in the morning, and his angry parents opened his door, just about to scold, but found his 1.87 meter son curled up in a ball, covered in cold sweat, and his forehead was terrifyingly hot.
In order to reduce Wang Gang's fever, his parents used many methods, but ordinary fever-reducing drugs were useless to their son, and his anxious parents wanted to take Wang Gang to the hospital, but the confused Wang Gang refused to go.
Seeing Wang Gang's condition getting more and more serious, Wang Gang's parents directly dragged him to the hospital, but when they heard the results of the examination in the doctor's mouth, they suddenly felt like they were struck by lightning.
A frequent scar
It turned out that after Wang Gang was sent to the hospital, when his parents forcibly changed his clothes, they were surprised to find that Wang Gang had a scar nearly 20 centimeters long under his ribs, and no matter how they asked, Wang Gang did not spit.
But experienced doctors can see at a glance that this is a trace left after the operation, but Wang Gang's parents are at a loss for this result, for the sake of their son's body, they quickly listened to the doctor's words and took Wang Gang to do a detailed examination and film.
Hospital wards
The moment the diagnosis was confirmed, the couple only felt that their sky was falling: "Wang Gang only has one kidney left, but this kidney has also been infected by the virus and has reached the level of third-degree disability." ”
Faced with such a result, Wang Gang's parents simply could not accept it, seeing that they could no longer hide the truth, Wang Gang, who was lying on the hospital bed, only then explained everything, but it was too late.
Collapsed family
"Follow the trend"
In fact, the mobile phone in Wang Gang's hand is the most popular new "iPhone4" at that time, this mobile phone is known as Jobs' last ingenuity, is the "high-end goods" pursued by many small bourgeois white-collar workers, and is also the "artifact" of student groups to compare with each other.
Originally, when the phone was first released, Wang Gang also clamored for his parents to equip him with one, but Wang Gang's parents are ordinary people, and under the salary situation in 2007, their monthly income was less than half of the price of the mobile phone.
No matter how hard and soft Wang Gang is, his parents did not let go, but who expected that soon after, Wang Gang used this latest mobile phone under the noses of his parents, what is going on? Is it really a new mobile phone borrowed by Wang Gang?
As the saying goes, "things gather people in groups", 17-year-old Wang Gang is just an ordinary high school student, with an average family, and the friends around him are all similar to Wang Gang's situation.
In the context of that time, mobile phones with more than 4,000 dollars could be called "luxuries", and not many people could afford them, let alone students without financial ability.
Even if some students buy "apples", they can't put it down, how can they fake others? "Borrowing apples" is almost impossible, and after being repeatedly rejected by his parents and unreasonable requests, Wang Gang's heart began to breed some gray thoughts.
The rise of the Internet
2007 was a turning point in the integration of technology into life, with the rise of the Internet allowing people to find new ways to make money again, and small advertisements from telephone poles and walls were brought to the Internet.
At the beginning, Wang Gang searched for all kinds of information about the "iPhone4" mobile phone on the Internet, but also just wanted to find some high-quality and cheap channels, after all, at that time "iPhone4" was divided into many versions, and the prices of various versions were not the same.
iPhone4
The most important thing is that he was indoctrinated by his parents to make money hard, Wang Gang was blocked in his heart, he wanted to quickly accumulate a sum of money that could buy a mobile phone with his own strength, then finding a "part-time job" online became an essential thing.
It's just that although there is a lot of colorful information on the Internet, there are few useful ones, but just when Wang Gang was about to give up, he was suddenly caught by a "special advertisement".
Under the ghost messenger, Wang Gang added the contact information of that person, and his bad luck also laid the groundwork since then.
Online "Part-time Recruitment"
"Black intermediaries"
It turned out that this advertisement was issued by an intermediary, and their appeal was simple--- "asking for a kidney with a lot of money", and the person who contacted Wang Gang was one of them.
The man claimed that if he sold a kidney, he would get a huge reward of 20,000 yuan, which was undoubtedly a huge temptation for Wang Gang, who was eager to make money, knowing that this money was an unimaginable amount for a high school student who had never seen the market.
But after all, the kidney is an organ in the body, and if it really wants to be cut off, Wang Gang is still a little hesitant.
kidney
"The body of a normal person generally has two kidneys, located on both sides of the waist, mainly to maintain the body's metabolism and the stability of the internal environment, and can secrete hormones to mediate the body's metabolism."
Wang Gang was not deeply involved in the world, but when he was in school, the biology teacher also talked about the function and role of the kidney, but just when Wang Gang hesitated, the "intermediary" began to amplify the move
"Young man, have you thought about it, now many people have begun to contact me..." The man kept urging Wang Gang to make a decision, but Wang Gang, who was sitting on the side of the computer, felt seven times in his heart, and without a little of the city, he said his worries about his health.

But the other party has long been familiar with this doubt: "Our matching type is very complete, we can find you a buyer soon, and one less kidney will not affect your normal life, you see that many people are donating with love, we will return you money." ”
The three or two sentences of the "intermediary" directly dispelled the scruples in Wang Gang's heart, and the young man who was in the flower season quickly agreed to the other party.
It's just that this trading place is not in the local area where Wang Gang lives, but to take a car to Chenzhou, in order to get out of this far door, Wang Gang also specially said that he was going to see the "summer job", just like that, Wang Gang took the money given by his parents and got on the train that changed his fate.
By train
Just arrived in Chenzhou, in order to show sincerity, the "intermediary" specially arranged a hotel with a good environment for Wang Gang to rest for the night.
The next morning, Wang Gang was taken to the hospital for a series of examinations, and when the "intermediary" got his "healthy" physical examination results, his face blossomed, and then they began to arrange the next thing.
Not long after, Wang Gang was pushed onto the operating table, and in a groggy sleep, his kidney left his body, but less than three days after the operation, the 20,000 "honorarium" was delivered to Wang Gang, but he was also sent out of the hospital.

Before the money he had just arrived, Wang Gang couldn't wait to buy the mobile phone and tablet he had in mind, and returned home happily, but in order not to arouse the suspicion of his parents, he did not dare to get too carried away.
Slowly, seeing that his parents did not restrain him much, Wang Gang no longer hid, even if he was asked, he prevaricated that he borrowed it with friends, but Ren Wang Gang did not expect it, but in just a few days, his body deteriorated, making him more and more unbearable.

"Pay for stupidity"
In the first week after the operation, Wang Gang obviously felt that something was wrong with his body, but he thought that it was a slow recovery after the operation, and it would be fine in a few days, and he did not go to his heart, but slowly, Wang Gang panicked.
Not long after, Wang Gang began to often can't sleep at night, can't wake up during the day, no matter how he adjusts his routine, the feeling of exhaustion and sleepiness lingers, and soon, the tearing pain also spreads throughout his body.
Until that day, Wang Gang's high fever did not subside, and the whole person fell into the pain of ice and fire, and if his parents had not sent him to the hospital, his life would have been in danger.
Xiao Wang
Although Wang Gang was sent to the hospital by his parents in time to snatch a life from the hands of death, the "kidney removal operation" at that time was not standardized, the wound was not treated well, and the postoperative did not cultivate and care well, and the situation of Wang Gang's other kidney was not optimistic.
After the doctor's examination, they found that Wang Gang's surgery had begun to inflame due to improper treatment, and his left kidney was also infected, leaving only one-fourth of the use, and Wang Gang's body accumulated a large amount of toxins that could not be excreted.
Kidney-selling teenagers
This 17-year-old boy should have sprung his youth on the court, but because he lacked a kidney, he needed to do dialysis every few days, and his face had long lost its vitality, and even his favorite "iPhone" could not be picked up.
Seeing their son being tortured in a hospital bed, Wang Gang's parents called the police as soon as possible, and they wanted to get one back for their son
Fair.
Wang Gang
"The legal net is restored"
After receiving the alarm, the police began to investigate intensively, and after strict deployment, they finally put the group of criminals who specialize in selling human organs "one pot", and also caught the leader of the criminals who plagued Wang Gang--- what he was.
During the interrogation, He Wei said that he did not know that Wang was 17 years old, and the age of the other party was 23 years old at that time, and that Wang Gang was willing to do so at the time of the transaction, and any consequences had nothing to do with him, and he was not willing to be responsible for Wang Gang at all.
How cunning the criminals were, how angry Wang Gang's parents were, but they did not cry to the criminal's family to vent their personal anger, but firmly took up the weapon of the law to defend their rights and interests.
Painful family
In court, Wang Gang's parents held the diagnosis that their son was diagnosed as a third-degree disability, and tearfully accused He Wei and others, and after the judge's trial, Wang Gang was compensated 1.47 million, and He Wei and others also received their due legal punishment.
But this seemingly expensive compensation was simply not worth mentioning in front of Wang Gang's condition, and it didn't take long to be consumed.
Wang Gang's parents were unwilling to give up their son, but even if the two took turns to take care of Wang Gang on the hospital bed, the two of them were still visible to the naked eye.
Teenager in a hospital bed
When the classmates around Wang Gang entered the university one by one and stepped into the lights of society, he struggled with the disease for 12 years.
Wang Gang, who weighed less than 90 pounds at almost 1.9 meters, was skinny, and his enthusiastic youthful vitality was left behind forever that summer, and he paid the price of his life for that little vanity.
But Wang Gang did not know that the kidney that he easily gave up was sold for more than 200,000 yuan, and the so-called "honorarium" he received was not even a fraction, and he also took a lifetime of life for a mobile phone.
"Cheap health"
As the old saying goes, "enjoy what kind of life you have as much as you have", but some people are always so ambitious, they don't know how to plan their lives, and they let themselves be gradually swallowed by desires.
The "Wang Gang incident" has long been not an exception, in 2018, a 23-year-old girl from Hubei always felt that her appearance was not enough, and she spent all her savings and took out loans for plastic surgery.
But as the interest rolled over more and more, she slowly couldn't make ends meet and became a "slave to desire".
Slave of desire
The 23-year-old girl did not hesitate to take 17 days of egg-stimulating injections, hoping to "sell eggs" to pay off the debt, but due to physical reasons, she could not retrieve the eggs, and the girl did not receive a penny after the transaction failed.
But after leaving the hospital, the girl's body immediately appeared dizzy and nausea, weakness and tiredness and stomach swelling, fortunately she was sent to the hospital in time to save her life, but she could not be a mother in her life, and she was burdened with high debts again.
Maybe the current life often makes you depressed and collapsed, passing by the window full of goods, you always feel powerless for the shame in your pocket, but please believe that life is always bitter and then sweet, through your own hard work, one day, you will get everything you want.
In this world, no money is impossible, but money is sometimes not omnipotent.
"Labor is the most glorious" is not a slogan, because the end of "getting something for nothing" will always be an abyss of pain.
Live hard, fight for your future, come on, every phone screen in front of you.
