There are 230,000 drip drivers in Beijing, and designers with a monthly salary of 40,000 switch to take-out. Is this life?

I read an article about how Didi drivers and takeaway brothers became "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" after an epidemic, and all walks of life turned to takeaway brothers and Didi drivers. I saw a well-known blogger calling Didi to take a taxi, chatted with the master for a while, and sent a Weibo. Weibo's content is like this:

Master Didi: "Before the Beijing epidemic, there were 654.38+04 million Didi. Guess how many drops there are now? "

"I can't guess."

Master Didi: "370,000 vehicles, a total of 230,000."

At the same time, within two months after the resumption of work, the number of riders sold at home and abroad increased by 580,000, and the job of take-away delivery clerk was also the first job in the market after the resumption of work.

230,000, 580,000, these figures are presented to everyone. What kind of concept is this? As mentioned above, no matter the ordinary employees of the 360 line or the industry elites, some people choose to switch to be takeaway brothers or drip drivers. In this part of the increased population, they have great possibilities. Their previous work was glamorous, they did decent work, and even had good connections and social resources.

However, a series of cruel realities, such as an epidemic, salary reduction, temporary income loss, company layoffs, and tight recruitment, have forced many people to find another way out. At this time, life is so fragile that a straw can crush them and confiscate them, but their debts are still there. Putting down face to find another way out, shouldering the burden of family and life, has made many people embark on the road of career change. There is no way. This is life forcing them to make a decision.

Actually, I was shocked when I saw the news. Think about it. In fact, many of us are not so resistant to life. When faced with sudden life risks, many of us are still under great pressure and at a loss. Now that everyone has talked here, I'd like to share my views on some recent things with you.

During the transition period from April to May in 2020, the whole country has basically resumed work and production. Except for some special industries, everyone seems to have returned to the right track of work and life. What deserves everyone's attention in April is the live broadcast of Luo Yonghao. I remember that in a live broadcast, Lao Luo accidentally mispronounced the product name of the brand and watched Lao Luo make a mobile phone conference one after another. According to what we know about Lao Luo,

However, this time, Lao Luo stood up, with half a bald head, sincerely apologized to the audience and said "sorry" to the audience. If it is the old Luo, it is difficult for him to apologize. Often he will beg for forgiveness with words like "Long live understanding", and on the other hand, he won't make everyone feel that it's all his fault.

But now, he compromised in front of the screen and compromised in the face of the reality of facing huge debts in middle age.

As a result, all kinds of voices came to my face. Some people think that Lao Luo, who was carrying goods live at that time, had less idealism and more reality, and his eyes were full of money. He felt that as long as he could sell things to make money, he began to learn to make money on his knees.

In the past, Lao Luo never easily admitted that he was wrong. In the past, Lao Luo would never sell his friends' products in front of his mobile phone. Lao Luo used to think that Apple's design was ugly, and those friends who copied it crazily simply didn't think. In the past, even if Lao Luo reversed his case at the press conference, he would use words like "Long live understanding" to cover up his mistakes.

Some people think that Lao Luo's live broadcast is to make money, and there is no ideal. Lao Luo himself admits that doing live broadcast with goods is the way to realize his dream. Lao Luo, 47, saw the development of the live broadcast industry and thought that live broadcast with goods was most likely to help him pay off his debts in a short time. A middle-aged man who is about to turn 500 can face the reality and do his best to pay off his debts as soon as possible.

I think this old Luo has not fallen, but has set a good example for some middle-aged people who dare not face up to themselves and reality. A 47-year-old man has lost half his hair and is burdened with hundreds of millions of debts. They are still paying their debts through their own efforts. What reason do you have to complain about the hardships of life? After experiencing the ups and downs of life, Lao Luocan has put it down and dared to put down his face to make money, which is exactly what Lao Luo admires.

Later, I saw an experience shared by a corporate executive on the social platform:

"A year ago, I was an executive of the company because the income was not bad. Buying a house costs 7,000 yuan a month, and now buying a house costs 5,000 yuan a month. The monthly payment adds up to one *** 12000 yuan a month. "

"I'm thinking about doing something big this year. I thought I could basically pay off the loan after one year, but it didn't last long. The company failed to survive the difficult period of the epidemic, and I haven't found a suitable job yet. I also found a lot of jobs. When I can't find a job, I often have an impulse to be a takeaway brother and a drip driver, and I dare not tell my family at all. "

From the Spring Festival to now, I have really seen too many people resign, lose their jobs and get laid off, really too many.

Without this epidemic, if we pull back the time before the Chinese New Year, in fact, many of us, like this executive, have their own decent jobs, and their income can support their daily expenses. We don't have to worry too much about being eliminated or laid off in a short time, but the accident of life is to catch everyone off guard. An epidemic has caused many people's lives to fall from the cloud of happiness to the bottom of suffering.

The short play "I am Yu Huanshui" shot in the midday sun has won the praise of many audiences. Why do you like this play? Because the life of middle-aged Yu Huanshui presented in the play is different. For most people, you can find a shadow similar to your own life in the play. Some netizens even commented: "Your middle-aged life is the second Yu Huanshui."

Before the accident, Yu Huanshui was a good entrepreneur with innovative ability and many ideas. However, after leaving after the car accident, his life has undergone earth-shaking changes. His wife's betrayal, distrust of friends, contempt and rejection of his boss and colleagues have made Yu Huanshui's life extremely bad. None of the good things appeared, but the bad things seemed to come into his life one after another, as if they were arranged.

Frustration in the workplace and disappointment in life are not only that, but Yu Huanshui, who went to the hospital for examination, was misdiagnosed as cancer.

When life wants to give you an unexpected "surprise", you can't stop it, you can only accept it completely.

Sometimes it's easy to die, but it's much harder to take responsibility and move on.

The last straw that crushed Yu Huanshui in the play was a short message sent by the bank, reminding him that it was time to repay the mortgage this month. Such a short message made Yu Huan aquatic products have suicidal thoughts.

Just as he was about to jump off the building, he received a text message saying that the money for the children's cram school should have been paid this week, which made him give up the idea of suicide.

I've met many people who want to jump off a building because their business failed. But before I chose to commit suicide, I got a call from my wife and children asking me to go home, and I couldn't bear to jump. He can't let go of his family, wife and children.

For myself, if I jump, it may be a complete solution, but after that, how will my wife and children live and who will take care of them? With these thoughts in mind, I always take a step back unconsciously.

The last stubbornness in middle age is perseverance and toughness. No matter how hard life is, you should drag your own skin and try to move forward, because if you don't advance, you will retreat, and there is no choice.

For the newly added 580,000 takeaway brothers after the epidemic,

Hungry, released a set of data:

"30% of the new riders come from service industries such as catering and tourism; 40% come from manufacturing workers; 20% come from freelancers, including bankrupt self-employed bosses; 10% comes from fresh graduates; The remaining 10% comes from other industries.

Production designer, online movie with a monthly salary of 40 thousand, turned to be a takeaway brother, which caused widespread concern. This takeaway brother from Hangzhou used to work as a film production designer. A month's salary, plus some jobs that he usually takes in private, can earn about 40 thousand, but he feels that work is too tired and harmful to his health.

Being a takeaway brother now has more free time, which I think is the right choice. In the past, everyone looked down on the profession of take-away food delivery. Now the takeaway brother is the place with the most talents, and there are elites in all walks of life, so netizens also gave an interesting title: "mysterious organization."

I like this takeaway brother better than those who are killed and refuse to put down their bodies to make money.

As people often hear, life is actually like a gamble. As long as you don't leave the table, you have a chance to get another good hand.

Sometimes, only by letting go of the so-called face can we live well. Only by living can there be hope for everything.

When I was young, I felt that courage meant daring to try and challenge things that I had never tried and challenged before, but as I grew older, I gradually found that when the burden of life and family responsibilities weighed on me, I had another understanding of courage.

Courage in life is the tenacity of rice, oil and salt. I know how to live a life of humiliation and still have initial expectations for life, no matter how stressful it is.

Just like when Old Luo Gang began to choose to bring goods for live broadcast, most people came to watch the excitement, while others came to see Lao Luo turn over. Can former mobile phone manufacturers bring goods for live broadcast? All kinds of doubts are overwhelming, and the people who eat melons are also holding the attitude of watching the fun and not abandoning major events.

When Lao Luo's first live broadcast created a sales record of more than 1, some people began to say that they saw Luo Yonghao, the so-called idealistic spokesman, begin to bow to money and reality, but when you saw others make a lot of money in a live broadcast in Luo Yonghao, you didn't see that he was burdened with nearly 100 million debts.

Anyone who knows Mr. Luo's entrepreneurial experience knows that, in fact, now Mr. Luo is doing live broadcast and returning goods, so he doesn't have to carry money himself. Even if the hammer can't hold on, you can apply for bankruptcy liquidation without having to bear huge debts yourself. Why did he finally choose a person to sign it? This is the responsibility of Mr. Luo, a middle-aged man. He should be worthy of his investors and employees.

And when signing the IOU, Luo Yonghao's wife signed a loan contract with him, or an unlimited guarantee, which means that even if Luo Yonghao is unable to repay, the IOU will fall on his wife. For anyone, 97 million is a number that makes him breathless.

However, Lao Luo chose to bear it alone. What we should see more is the responsibility as an entrepreneur. If you are burdened with a debt of 97 million yuan, people's creditors are urging you to pay back the money every day. It is easy for you to pay off the debt in a short time by live broadcast. Will you still refuse?

Lao Luo, who failed to make a mobile phone, became degenerate and realistic. It is better to say that because of the failure of making mobile phones, Lao Luo has set a good example for the majority of middle-aged entrepreneurs. He is responsible and responsible for his actions.

Therefore, never laugh at those who work hard, but when you stand at the top of the pyramid of life and look at the world, please don't despise and laugh at those who work hard for life at the bottom, don't divide everyone's work into three or six grades, and don't put yourself above others' careers.

In fact, everyone just makes a living in a different way. Maybe they work hard and lead a messy life, but if life allows them to make choices, who doesn't want to live a decent life?

In this world, there has never been so-called empathy. The stars that you can easily touch in your eyes may take a lifetime to touch.

Zhihu's well-received answer is very good:

"Towering above the waves is always just the surface of the sea. There are more waves and superimposed on the bottom, and you won't even notice their existence.

Life is not as calm as the years, and everyone is carrying a heavy load.
