The cage of the bottom of society

It’s too depressing to see. It reminds me of my father and mother. My father was in the same profession and had similar experiences. An ordinary people at the bottom of society, once my parents tried desperately to make money for me. When I study, I often go outside to lend me money for living expenses. It’s really sad to think about it. After work, I still can’t support my family. Dad is still working hard at his job. Mom and Dad’s biggest wish is to let I have a stable job and live with a dignity. I don’t worry about the life of one day where I can’t eat without going out to work. My father once sent out this emotion: "When I wake up at four o’clock every day and drive on the street, I found that many people are already working hard. A couple who opened a breakfast shop in their twenties have even prepared their breakfast and waited for the guests to arrive. Although they are extremely hardworking, I am fortunate that it is not my daughter." Thanks My parents have given me the best life they can give me, so that I have no worries about food and clothing, and I will try my best to make more money and make your life less difficult.

The reality is always cruel. There are too many people living at the bottom like us. How easy it is to break through a level. This time the coronavirus has shown us how much society is calling for people to stay at home like that. People are like ants on a hot pot. People will have no food if they don't go out, and there will be no money if they don't work. This kind of life is a kind of despair that many people have never experienced.

If there is any expectation for society, expect everyone at the bottom who desperately to live to be healthy, after all, illness itself is also a luxury.
