Mom doesn't have any money to buy you a satchel.

When you grow up and earn money, you can buy whatever you want, okay?

and ever since I was young, I was looked down upon by others.

I didn't know where my next meal was coming from.

And from a young age, I always wore my sister's hand-me-downs;

and didn't even want to be associated with me.

From that moment on, I resolved to myself:

When I'm grown up, I'm definitely going to earn lots of money,

I'll have good times, and no one will look down on me again.

before graduating from junior high school I was forced to give up my studies

to go to do temporary work in the county pharmaceutical factory.

I would often do an additional shift until ten in the evening.

Later, I heard that my older sister could earn what I earned in a month,

I immediately quit my job at the pharmaceutical factory to sell vegetables.

After a while, I realized it was easier to make money selling fruit,

After I got married, my husband and I opened a restaurant.

I'll make even more money running a restaurant!

Once I have money, I'll be able to live a grand and dignified life.

I'll finally be the envy of others, and they'll think highly of me.

But after managing the business for a while,

I found that we couldn't make much money running a restaurant.

When will I finally live the life of a rich person?

I heard a friend say that in Japan what you earn in one day

is roughly equal to ten days' wages in China.

I thought that finally I had found a good opportunity to make money.

Although the agent's fees to go to Japan was expensive,

we'd be able to make the money back quickly.

And so, my husband and I decided then and there to go to Japan.

Once we arrived in Japan, I threw myself into my work.

Every day, my husband and I worked at least thirteen or fourteen hours.

The pressure at work was intense, and I was exhausted all day.

When the workday was over, all I wanted to do was to lie down and rest.

I didn't even give a thought to my eating.

My health couldn't stand up to the quick tempo of my life,

that if I gave it all I had, after a few years I'd finally be well off.

Although the work is hard now, later on, life will be beautiful,

This is how I summoned all my strength every day.

I was like a money-making machine, going all out in my work.

in 2015, I collapsed with exhaustion from the strain of the work.

you have a slipped disc in the lumbar vertebra,

And if you continue to work, it could lead to paralysis,

after which you won't be able to look after yourself.

The doctor's words hit me like a lightning bolt right out of the blue,

and after listening to him I felt weak all over all at once.

My life had just been getting brighter as I grew closer to my dream.

I never thought that I would get sick like this.

and I thought to myself: I'm still young.

If I just grit my teeth, I'll be able to put up with being just a little bit unwell.

If I don't earn enough money now and I go back to China with so little,

And so, I gritted my teeth and dragged my sick body to work,

I was so unwell, I couldn't even crawl out of bed.

how I wished that I had someone by my side to keep me company,

Looking around the sick ward at all of the patients,

How could I have found myself in such a terrible situation?

Could it really be true that I was going to be paralyzed and bedridden?

There was a feeling in my heart that I just couldn't express,

Could it be just to make money and live well?

Can you really be happy if you have money?

Is it worth it to wear yourself out to make money?

After nearly thirty years of pushing myself to the limit,
