How are you in a foreign country?

The 2007 "Struggle" tells us in a foreign land that happiness can be shared by a group of people, but the pain must be borne by one person; the 2009 "Dwelling" tells us in a foreign land that the monthly increase in wages can never catch up. The speed at which housing prices rise; 2012's "Beijing Love Story" tells us in a foreign land that there are many ways and forms of success; 2021's "I'm Good in a Foreign Land" tells us in a foreign land that although you are the stars of the city , but you are also a beam of light. How are you in a foreign country?

Have you shed tears because of Millay's "Left", have you been heartbroken by Beckham's experience, have you regretted Beckham's success, have you been afraid of Hu Jingjing's suicide? How are you in a foreign country?

I watched "Struggle" when I was in junior high school, "Dwelling in a Dwelling" when I was in high school, and "Beijing Love Story" when I was in college. I was young and ignorant and could not understand it. Now that I am in the world, I have watched it. Only after watching the movie "I'm Very Good in a Foreign Country" did I know what ***ming is. ***Ming comes from reality. Just the first shot of the first episode made me feel that this is what I experience every day: squeezing in the subway every day and watching the people opposite eating breakfast; helping the old people in the carriage, people say When saying "thank you", we just nodded slightly; we hurried into the office to clock in, for fear that we would miss those few seconds. This kind of thing is done every day, every day, can we really have holidays? You just slept in and your colleague's plan was already placed in front of your boss. You just spent two hours shopping at the mall and had to stay up all night to make up for the progress. Your boss rejected the copywriting you worked overtime to compile in three seconds. , the idiom of combining work and rest has become like a holiday in today’s context. As a senior movie fan, I haven’t watched a TV series for a long time. I used to even hope that there would be a TV series that I could watch day and night. But now, "I'm Good in a Foreign Country", which has only been updated for three episodes, can actually sting me many times and make me scream many times. The performance in the play is undoubtedly our true portrayal. I really want to ask myself, "Why don't we leave when a foreign land is so hard?"

As a foreigner, have you ever experienced being fired without reason by your leader? Have you ever experienced being defrauded of rent by a rogue intermediary? Have you ever experienced reporting work with full confidence, but the leader ignored you? Have you ever been there? You get drunk alone after get off work; do you sit at home and cry secretly; have you ever thought about whether to go home?

After traveling thousands of miles away from home, it was night when I got off the train. The moment I saw the lights of thousands of houses, I realized that one of them was shining for me. No matter how much grievances I suffered, when my parents asked me about it, they always gave the same answer: I am fine in a foreign country. You can't say it when you are sick, you can't say it when you have no money, and you can't say it when you are wronged, because what we said has no use except making them worry. When you learn that Fa Xiao got married in his hometown, or Fa Xiao gave birth to a child in his hometown, that kind of thing The feeling really cannot be expressed in words. While we sent out our sincere blessings, we also included our own helplessness. The number of people in the big city is ten times the number in our hometown, but there is not even a single person to accompany us. It seems that there is really no love in this cold city, but even so, when many people are asked why we don’t go home, we We are speechless and cannot tell the reason even when we ask ourselves.

"I joined Yi'an before I graduated from college. My monthly salary was about 3,000 yuan. I work until now. I work at work, after work, and overtime. I work every day. When it comes to work, ask those people who are about my age in the company, who is not working hard and moving forward, who is afraid of being outdone by others even if he runs two steps slower in the company, who dares to take a break..."... You and I must have had this experience, maybe with your boss, maybe with your friends, but no matter what, when the tears are dried, you are still the positive you, you will still squeeze into the subway, squeeze into the bus, or Will work hard just to get ahead.

As the saying goes, "There is no room for the body in a foreign country, and there is no room for the soul in the homeland." If you are working hard in a first-tier city, are you envious when you see your friends in your hometown have a new house? Are you envious when you see a friend from your hometown getting a new car? Do you envy your friends back home when they see their parents’ smiles every day? Have you ever thought that after making money in a big city, you will return to your hometown, live in a house worth hundreds of thousands, and drive a car worth hundreds of thousands? Have you also thought that you will never go back in this life? Not only do I want to live in this cold Taking root in the city, but also sprouting here, have you ever thought, "Forget it, I'll just go home and get a salary of three to four thousand, I'll accept it."

In fact, there is no right or wrong in the three ideas just mentioned. It’s just that everyone has their own choice. You can’t experience the daily happiness of your friends back home, and your friends back home can’t understand the novelty you feel in a first-tier city. When you go out to a small city, you are just an acquaintance. , Acquaintances in big cities are all strangers. Small cities rely on connections, which is unfair. Big cities rely on strength and ability to speak, so you have to persist, even if you are in a foreign land, you must show off your appearance. If you are really willing to work hard, the worst outcome in your life is that you will be a late bloomer.

“When the two-hour commute to work is like a nightmare, when the endless overtime takes up all the living space, and you can’t become a better version of yourself even if you give everything you have, the reason to leave is We may find many, but one reason to stay is actually enough: a group of like-minded partners, a beautiful and sweet love, or maybe a night that belongs only to ourselves.

These are the ordinary things. And beautiful things support us to go through the wind and waves again and again to encounter more beautiful scenery."

No eagle is born soaring, and no lion cub is crowned king when it lands. When you truly return home with a full load, tell your story about your sweet and sour past in these years.
