Once watched a documentary: a Chinese student in Germany because of infatuation with gambling, resulting in bankruptcy, unemployment, divorce, debts of 500,000 euros, the person is already on the verge of collapse. At this time, his eldest brother, 50, decided to go to Germany to work, paying his brother's debts and urging his brother to quit gambling. This seems an impossible task. The eldest brother's wife is in poor health and her daughter is in high school. The angry wife divorced him for the decision. He went to Germany alone.
In Germany, the first thing he did was to negotiate the underground casino. 'I'm a man who has nothing,' he said. 'I'm here to save my brother, and if you put him in there, I won't pay my debts. If you want to kill me, go ahead. Three underground casinos, no longer put his brother in the door.
The second thing he did was to take his brother to a Chinese cake shop, where he was not allowed to have more than one euro. After a year, he managed to borrow some money and opened a bakery. Thanks to good taste, good credit, and the touching story of saving his brother, the shop is thriving.
The third thing he did was set up a local exchange. Slowly, a lot of Chinese in Germany, have any problem to ask him to help. He became a local legend in debt.
The fourth thing he did was to keep writing to his daughter and his wife, hoping they would understand and forgive him. He said that if he did not do so, his brother would die in a foreign country.
Ten years passed. He had just turned 60 when the reporter interviewed him. My brother's debt is only 50,000 euros. The younger brother never gambled, he began to use the Internet to try foreign trade business. His wife and daughter also forgave him, and his wife decided to remarry him.
If he had survived, he had been cornered. But he was not far away from life, and he had made a miracle, full of humanity.
We are often forced to do things by necessity. But there are people who can always taste good in their lives. That's life. Survival is the foundation of our lives, the things we have to do. But it is up to us to choose what life is like.
When I was a child, I heard my mother say that people who know how to live, even the worst house, wear the worst clothes, they will clean the house, the clothes will be folded under the pillow, and the pressure will be all right. Life is limited, life is infinite.
