Ask Inner God
In China, both children and adults have been trying to exceed others in "life competition". For children, they are instructed by teachers to study extremely hard to get admitted into a top-tier school (like municipal junior school, provincial high school, university with the title of “985”, etc.) . Moreover, parents also play a role in pressing them to join extracurricular study classes, with nearly total ignorance of children's real interests. For adults, when attempt to set foot on this dog-eat-dog society, they finally find it difficult to find a satisfactory job, especially in the background of the sluggish economy. A tiny minority of university graduates may get lucky, as they outweigh others in the fierce civil service examination or the interview of some lucrative companies after rounds of selection, and are eligible to get a relatively respectable job. However, Most of the lower-middle class adults have to do with jobs which feature demanding long-time work and low salaries and no social insurance. Since restriction on age exists in many job descriptions, unemployed people over the age of 35 can hardly get a job at all. In a word, competition hangs over common Chinese during their life-span development.

I made peace with being cast out by others pretty early in life. As lonely as it may sound, I don’t recall many times during childhood when those actions affected me any longer than a moment or two. Being deemed the weird/gay/weird gay freak by everyone from neighborhood kids to blood relatives allowed me the privilege of sneaking away whenever I pleased to dive deeper into hobbies that molded the proud pop culture geek and writer I am today.

Work and Self-Worth: An Overachiever Origin Story
Growing up, my parents were always working. My dad had a full-time job as a train conductor and a part-time DJ business, open for all your local wedding and bar mitzvah needs. Meanwhile, my mom's family ran a restaurant for the first decade of my life. There, my mom was a waitress, manager, back-room stocker, accountant, and probably a bunch of other roles I can't remember.

The Harder You Try, The Worse It Gets
“The more you get what you want, the more dissatisfied you become.” — Pablo Coelho Ah, the paradoxical dance we humans do with desire, effort, and entropy. We strive and toil, yearning for that elusive state of “having it all together.” Yet the universe seems to chuckle, swapping our crystal ball of hopes with a kaleidoscope of chaos.

Happy At Last.. Content Warning.
I have been reflecting on my life a lot recently. I have been looking back on those years from the 90s when I was constantly fleeing violence, in and out of hostels, struggling to be a parent, and struggling with my mental health.
