The sparrow becomes a phoenix, and it is finally empty
What comes to mind when you think of the rental business?
Renting a house, renting a car, renting electrical appliances, renting an office building......
But you wouldn't think that there is also a business called "renting a wife".
That's right!
On the streets of Thailand, there are often old men from Europe and the United States and petite Thai girls holding hands and hugging their waists, they are old and young, white and black, and they seem to be "lovers" and "husband and wife".
But in fact, they are only a "lease relationship", the locals call it "elephant leading the mouse", the man is called "white goose", and the woman is called "black pearl".
Due to the low cost of living in Thailand, many retired elderly people in developed countries choose to spend their old age in Thailand. Therefore, it is necessary to rent a "wife" in the local area to accompany you.
The rented "wife" is both a tour guide and a nanny, and she also has to work as a translator. The salary is divided according to the long-term and short-term, and then screened according to age, education, and appearance.
The short-term price is about 300-1000 yuan/day, while the long-term rent is as low as 150 yuan/day.
In addition to paying for the service, the "tenant" is responsible for all the costs of the cohabitation.
This kind of "renting a wife" business is legal in Thailand. Therefore, the contract will be signed according to the normal contract, and the official invoice can also be provided.
However, the business of renting wives in Thailand did not suddenly emerge, as early as the Vietnam War, it began to flourish.
At that time, in order to alleviate the loneliness of being in a foreign land and the fear of war, those soldiers of the beautiful country with high salaries often invited some young girls to travel and have fun.
Soon, these young girls had more and more money in their pockets, and once became one of the local wealthy circles.
Since then, many girls from poor families have followed suit. They not only make money to support their families by "renting wives", but also look forward to marrying foreigners in order to realize their long-cherished wish of "turning sparrows into phoenixes".
In order to achieve their goals, they would rather abandon their studies to learn English, makeup, and pick up people.
But no matter how fluent they are in English and how intimate their service is, there are still very few who can change their fate by getting married.
However, for this kind of class leap with a very low success rate, Thai girls continue to do so. For this reason, they gave up their stable jobs as nannies and factory girls.
But they don't know that behind the seemingly glamorous rented wife, there are too many tragedies hidden.
First of all, in this industry that requires almost no skills, the old and the new are frequently replaced, and the men "like the new and hate the old", so that most girls are eventually lonely and withered after being tempered by the years.
Secondly, many old people are old and have no consideration of remarriage, and girls do not find it hopeless to marry into a wealthy family until they pay their youth.
What's even more tragic is that after some girls become pregnant, the child's father "disappears", and they can only give birth to the child and raise it alone, which makes the already bumpy life bear an extra burden.
In addition, they also face the dilemma of old age, lack of skills, and the risk of contracting AIDS.
These "black pearls" are eager to change their fate through their own "advantages", so as to "fly on the branches and become phoenixes".
But how many people can do it?
Most of the "black pearls" can only fall into the dust and grow old alone.
This reminds me of Lu Xun's words:
"The shortcut to life you yearn for is actually already muddy."
They yearn for a life that soars to the sky, but they step into a swamp full of thorns, and they yearn for wealth and wealth, but they fall into the bottomless abyss.
Eventually, all dreams came down the drain.
pursued "lying to win", but "losing" himself
In life, there are too many girls who sell their youth and dignity for the sake of a "comfortable" life. They may eventually have money, but they also lose the ability to control their destiny.
Yishu's Xibao is a girl who "loses herself for lying down to win".
Xibao was born in a low-income family and was abandoned by his father since he was a child. In order to get out of the predicament, her mother wanted her to marry a good man.
Influenced by her mother's concept, she only thought about climbing high branches to "transfer" when she grew up. Therefore, after meeting her friend's father, Cunzi, she fell unconsciously.
At first, she just wanted to rely on the financial support of Cunzi to complete her studies.
But under the money offensive of Miao Cunzi, Xibao gradually sank into the "rich township" and had long forgotten about reading.
In the days that followed, she not only lost her self-motivation, but also lost her freedom in life.
She doesn't allow her to fall in love with someone else, and when Hee Po is attracted to Hans, a professor at Cambridge, he shoots Hans in front of her.
Since then, Xibao has given up all struggles and has completely become the "canary" of Cunzi.
Even if this "old man" doesn't have much time, and several times she wants to let Xibao leave, she has to continue to guard each other because of her lack of courage and ability to live.
Despite the death of Cunzi, Xibao received a small inheritance. But at this time, she is like a withered silk flower, without vitality and enthusiasm, and can only spend the rest of her life in a mess.
She could have carved a way to get rich in life by virtue of her beauty and knowledge, but because of her obsession with not working hard and winning, she finally lost the ability to survive.
Reminds me of a quote from Beauvoir:
"The misfortune of a woman is that she is surrounded by almost irresistible temptations, not to be pushed upwards, but only to be encouraged to slide down to bliss. By the time she finds out that she has been fooled, it is already too late, and her strength has been exhausted in the failed adventure. ”
In life, everyone aspires to change their destiny and live a quality life. But the way to change fate determines the final outcome.
Blindly indulging desires, pursuing glory and wealth, and entrusting one's body and mind to others, can only waste time and lose oneself in the end.
You must know that the life of drunkenness and gold is the most corrosive to people's hearts, and the days of fine clothes and fine food make people lose their minds.
Therefore, at any time, women must remain sober and self-confident, self-denial and self-discipline, in order to control the course of life.
Only by being sober and self-assured can you counterattack and become a "king"
In Thailand, there is a girl named Anna. She was originally born poor, but she relied on herself to achieve a counterattack in life.
Born in the 90s, Anna's parents were both garbage cleaners in Bangkok.
Due to her parents' low occupation, Anna has been bullied by her classmates since she was a child, and she was even ridiculed by her classmates because of the smell of garbage, calling her "Miss Trash".
Even so, she neither had low self-esteem nor complained about her family. Under the guidance of her grandmother, she always believed that no matter what difficulties she encountered, she could only stand up on her own.
In this way, with her perseverance and perseverance, Anna firmly believes that knowledge can change fate, and through unremitting efforts, she was successfully admitted to Kasetsart University.
During her college years, Anna studied part-time while working to make up for her tuition. She is diligent and thrifty, does not compare with others, and does not use her beautiful advantages to make quick money, but concentrates on pursuing her dreams.
In addition to her studies, she often participates in beauty pageants and catwalk events. Because of her good appearance and confident and cheerful personality, she soon became popular.
When she was 20 years old, she was successfully "crowned" Miss Thailand Mobile.
In 2020, she won the runner-up in the Miss Beautiful Thailand pageant.
Two years later, she fully demonstrated the bravery, self-confidence and beauty of women in the Miss Universe Thailand competition, and finally won the championship and received a reward of 1 million baht, a car, and an apartment.
Although she has been busy with extracurricular life, she has not fallen behind in her studies at all. In 2020, she graduated with honors and received a Certificate of Outstanding Graduate.
I believe that Anna, who is independent and diligent and hardworking, will definitely shine in the future!
And the secret of her successful counterattack, in addition to the support of her original family, is the result of her sober self-confidence:
Not for materialistic desires, going astray, not for pleasure, consuming youth.
As she puts it:
"Don't limit yourself to where you were born, as long as you are determined enough, you can change your life. ”
Many times, it is not difficult to change your life, but it is difficult to resist temptation and stick to your original intention.
The harder life is, the more sober and self-assured you are.
Pursuing a "comfortable" life, being blinded by desires, and eventually losing oneself and falling into the abyss.
Only in the mud of life, coarse tea and light rice can be sweet, prosperous shoulders are not stained, concentrate on reading, and enrich yourself.
In this way, in the ups and downs of fate, we can achieve a turnaround in life!
