My name is Cuong, and I am an ordinary man working in the city. In this bustling city, I traveled around trying to make a living.

Three years ago, I came to the city and started my part-time job. At that time, I had a vision for the future, hoping to carve out a world of my own here. However, the reality is always so cruel.
In the factory, I met Ah Zhen. She is a gentle and kind woman who, like me, left her hometown and came here to work. We got acquainted because of our work, and gradually, a special affection developed between us.

One day, Ah Zhen said to me, "Ah Qiang, it's good for us to take care of each other like this, just like husband and wife." "I knew in my heart that this was the so-called "temporary couple". Although I knew it wasn't right, driven by loneliness and loneliness, I agreed to her.
And just like that, we began the life of a "temporary couple". We ate together, went to work together, and went shopping together as if we were really like a couple. However, I know that all this is only temporary.
One day, I noticed that Ah Zhen was very close to another man
。 I asked her what was going on, but she couldn't speak. At that moment, I felt like my heart was being torn apart.
"Why are you doing this to me?" I asked angrily.
"Cuong, I don't want to do this either, but I need someone to care for me and love me. Ah Zhen said with tears in her eyes.
"What about me? What am I?" I yelled in despair.
Since then, our relationship has become increasingly cold. It didn't take long for Ah Zhen to leave me and be with the man.
I thought it was just a chance event, but I didn't expect that it was just the beginning. In the next two years, I changed two more "temporary husbands" one after another. Each time is sweet at the beginning and painful at the end.

Today, I still work in the city, still living alone. I don't know where my future lies, and I don't know when this life will end. I only hope that this chaos of "temporary couples" can end as soon as possible, so that we, the migrant workers, can have a home that truly belongs to us.
