That morning, the small streets surrounding the market were bustling with activity. Motorized pedicabs (becaks) passed by carrying merchandise, while vendors busily set up their stalls one by one. This atmosphere always presented a simple story about the ongoing struggles of life.
I enjoyed a few moments standing on the side of the road, observing the people's activities. Some were carrying fresh vegetables, others were selling fruit, and still others were simply sitting and chatting with old friends. Although the market building looked old and simple, it remained a center of life for many.
The morning sky was overcast, but that didn't dampen the enthusiasm of those seeking sustenance. The sound of vehicles mixed with the sounds of people greeting each other created a lively atmosphere. It was in places like these that I often witnessed the strength of the people's spirit in living each day.
Sometimes we get so caught up in pursuing something grand that we forget that simple life also has its own beauty. The bustling market streets, the fading wooden buildings, and the daily activities of the people actually hold many lessons about hard work and perseverance.
I believe every corner of the city has a story. It's not about luxury, but about people moving forward for the sake of their families and their futures. And that morning, I was reminded again that simplicity is often the most valuable part of life.
