Chapter 38 The lowest point of the thirty-seventh life

Jie Chen should be regarded as a person with very little life experience, because Jie Chen has never been to other places except for a few nearby small towns.Jie Chen's daily life is also very monotonous and ordinary. The days are always jumping back and forth between small things such as burning incense, chanting Buddha, sweeping the floor, and making tea. Of course, because there are quite a lot of benefactors who come to the temple, Jie Chen also met some benefactors with complicated life experiences, such as benefactor Chen from the coastal area.Although Jie Chen doesn't have much experience himself, he also likes to hear some stories from benefactors, so benefactor Chen tells stories about his past from time to time.

Benefactor Chen is about fifty or sixty years old. He said that when he was young, he had a stable job. Although he didn't make much money, he lived a stable life.But benefactor Chen is not a person who is content with the status quo. After living a stable life for a long time, he yearns for a life with passion, so benefactor Chen resigned to start a business. Chen Benefactor said that it was the 1980s, and people were very cautious. There were not many people like Chen Benefactor who had the courage to go into business, so the business was still very good.Benefactor Chen's business was doing well and developing rapidly. By the 1990s, he was making a lot of money.

In fact, when Chen Benefactor told Jie An about his past story, he described it in more detail. He said that at that time, he already had a car and a house, and he also described the living conditions at that time in detail. However, Jie Chen was very insensitive to the details described by Chen Benefactor. Jie Chen didn't understand the brands of the things he mentioned at all, but he just thought that those should be good brands, otherwise Chen Benefactor would not have deliberately mentioned them.Jie Chen felt that it was too embarrassing to interrupt Chen benefactor's topic to ask the meaning of those words, so he continued to communicate with Chen benefactor with only a half-knowledge.

Benefactor Chen said that at that time he loved to make friends, and he had many friends from all walks of life.Every night as long as I have free time, I will gather my friends together. I have good financial conditions, so I have no problem dealing with such expenses. Jiechen sometimes imagines the kind of life Chen Benefactor said, although it is completely different from the life of Jiechen, but it is interesting to think about it. However, Benefactor Chen later said that life experiences are very unpredictable. In a few years, I was very unlucky, and my business was to do one thing and lose another, and even some businesses that were about to succeed would fail inexplicably.

At one point, Chen's financial situation plummeted, and some of his assets were frozen by the bank, and the good days were gone forever. Benefactor Chen said that when he was at his worst, he was so poor that he had to rely on instant noodles and steamed buns to survive, so it was impossible for him to get together every night.When the business was not going well, Chen benefactor wanted to ask his friends to help, but those friends who usually called brothers and sisters would not see each other, or they would find some very unskilled reasons to shirk. Speaking of which, Jie Chen still prefers to eat instant noodles and steamed buns, so when Chen benefactor described the "tragedy situation" of himself eating instant noodles and steamed buns, it did not resonate with Jie Chen, but the tragedy of being betrayed by his friends, Jie Chen Chen can still be imagined, Jie Chen thinks that may be a truly tragic thing in life.Chen Shizhu, who suffered double setbacks in business and friendship in those years, may have experienced the lowest point in his life.

Benefactor Chen said that his bad luck these years has passed, his business has become more and more stable, and he no longer pursues high profits. Many friends made.Today, the few friends Chen Benefactor can talk to are the ones he still kept in touch with when he was the poorest. Jie Chen thought, if Chen benefactor has never experienced ups and downs and has been living a prosperous life smoothly, then he must still be surrounded by a lot of friends. Of course, it is not easy for Chen benefactor to know that those friends like what about him. Sometimes, we often complain about the ups and downs of life, the ups and downs of career, and we don't want to experience the lowest point of life.But we should thank fate for letting us be in a low place, because only here we don't have to distinguish the purpose behind the smile, and only here we don't have to doubt whether the person who hugs you has a sincere heart.

Just like the pearls shine brightly in the dark night, in the lowest valley of life, we can easily find the most precious family, love and friendship in life. The humble years of our past, present, and future are also worth cherishing.
