I'd rather a train run over than a shit-like life

Choose a life, choose a job, choose a career, choose a family, choose a fucking big TV, choose a washing machine, choose a car, choose a CD player, choose health, choose cholesterol and dental insurance, choose a mortgage, choose to buy your first house, Choose your friends, choose a three-piece suit that pays in installments, watch boring TV on Sundays, eat snacks while watching, choose to linger, choose to wet the bed in a nursing home, lose face in front of dogs and men like you, choose the future, choose life "..."
This is the opening and ending monologue of "Trainspotting". The "Blue Head" brothers betrayed their friends, determined to go to the mediocre and normal middle-class life, and bid farewell to the dirtiest toilet in Scotland. Times. Qingtou merged into the blurred crowd, merged with the faceless people, and disappeared, because his shabby youth has come to an end, which is his luck and sadness.
