In 2022, Kaifeng.
As usual, Chen Xiaoyu walked through the bustling streets and returned to her humble rental house. This year, she was 30 years old and a senior marketing planner.
Although it was late at night, there were still many migrant workers like her in this bustling city, still running for their own lives.
Chen Xiaoyu turned on the computer and began to work on tomorrow's work. In this competitive city, she knew she couldn't afford to slack off.
Suddenly, the mobile phone rang, it was her friend Li Hua.
"Chen Xiaoyu, what are you doing?" Li Hua's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm on business, and I have a very important meeting tomorrow." Chen Xiaoyu replied.
"Hey, I really envy you, you still have time to deal with work. I worked overtime until midnight today, and I can't rest tomorrow, I'm really tired. Li Hua complained.
Chen Xiaoyu comforted: "Li Hua, come on!" Let's work together and it will always get better. "
Hanging up the phone, Chen Xiaoyu continued to devote himself to work. She knew that Li Hua was a software engineer who was under a lot of pressure and often needed to work overtime. And herself, as a marketing planner, although the work pressure is relatively small, it also requires a lot of effort.
In this city, there are many migrant workers like them. Some are forced by life, and some are driven by dreams, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all working hard for life.
Chen Xiaoyu remembered that when she first came to Kaifeng, she was still an intern and her salary was only 3,000 yuan a month. She lives in a dilapidated cottage and spends two hours commuting every day. Despite the hardships of life, she never gave up on her dreams.
Today, she has established herself in the city, has a stable job, and her life is getting better and better. But she knows that she can't let this put her slack off, and she needs to work harder to achieve her dreams.
Late at night, Chen Xiaoyu finally finished his work. She closed her computer, lay on the bed, and closed her eyes. She knows that tomorrow she will be back to work and continue to work hard for life.
On this Chinese New Year's Eve, although she can't take a holiday, she doesn't feel alone. Because she knows that in every corner of the city, there are migrant workers like her, and they are all working hard for their dreams.
Perhaps, that's life. There are hardships, but there are also joys. But as long as we don't give up and work hard, it will always get better.
Chen Xiaoyu thought like this, and gradually fell asleep.
