Personal experience, tell the truth, if I offend, please forgive me.
2. Unavoidable Questions In my eighth year of working in Beijing, my girlfriend resisted all pressure and came back from Australia to marry me. Then, we faced a question: should she go back to Beijing or should I go to Melbourne?
I have been thinking about this issue for nearly a year, and it is still difficult to make a decision. At that time, I was working as an after-sales service engineer in a multinational company famous for the production of large-scale heat exchange equipment and industrial fans. I received a year's salary plus bonuses and travel allowances.
After tax, it is about 100,000. In addition to various benefits stipulated by the state, the company buys health insurance for each employee. When we fall ill, more than 90% of the medical expenses can be reimbursed. In addition, the company will arrange

At that time, the copyright of my first online novel was sold to Qidian for 90 yuan per 1,000 words. I could get monthly royalties from this website ranging from 5,000 to 6,000 yuan. Adding the two incomes together, my annual income
The account has exceeded 150,000. According to the ratio of Australian dollars and RMB at that time, the annual after-tax net income is 25,000 Australian dollars (note: these data are not written to show off, but to reconcile with ordinary people in the following content.
Comparing the income of Australians) In December 2004, I submitted an immigration application to the Australian Residential Office in Shanghai. My father was very unhappy when he heard the news. After he retired, he worked as a doctor in a private clinic in Tong County.
The reason why I came to Beijing is because I like the lively feeling of a family. If I go to Australia, it means that all the efforts he has made are completely in vain. Even if I develop smoothly outside, I cannot guarantee that I will be with him every Spring Festival.
Mother and brother stay up late together
Our father and son sat together and chatted for a long time. I told him that I wanted to take a look outside and see what the outside world is like. "I came to Nanjing from my hometown and found that the living conditions in Nanjing were better than those in my hometown. I went from Nanjing to Beijing,
I found that Beijing is bigger and more prosperous than Nanjing. Melbourne is closer to the West, perhaps more prosperous and life is easier..."
It was probably for these reasons that I convinced my father that I never told him about the trivial things I experienced after graduation.
Thinking about those experiences is like riding a roller coaster. Suddenly I was high in the clouds, and then suddenly turned down. Officially, it was said that China's economy had a successful soft landing due to the vigorous promotion of a certain company. As a small citizen, my feeling was that it was different from the earth.
Had an "intimate encounter", and it was nose down
In 1995, on the third day after I graduated from college and reported to a large state-owned enterprise in Beijing, I and more than fifty other new blood were transported by a commuter bus to Bieshan Village in Jixian County to work on the "9511" project of the Ministry of Electric Power.
Adding bricks and mortar
From the beginning of August to mid-February of the following year, I worked there for half a year and twelve days. The explanation of the term "9511" is that after November 1995, Beijing will no longer impose power cuts in order to achieve
This goal, during the most difficult period, we worked overtime for twelve hours every day
Because I am young, I don’t know what tiredness is. Another reason why I don’t know hard work is that from now on, I will receive a bonus every month. Although it is not much, I can be completely independent and no longer burden my parents.
One night, on the top of the boiler eighty-seven meters above the ground, I was holding a walkie-talkie in one hand, waiting for instructions from my companions from the main control room, and holding on to the iron fence with the other hand. I actually fell asleep while standing. Suddenly, the sound came from the walkie-talkie.
The signal woke me up. I lowered my head and looked down, sweating profusely.
The power plant with inherent deficiencies was connected to the grid for the first time at the end of 1995, more than two months later than the expected construction period. After it was handed over to the factory, all the engineering staff, including us newcomers, cheered loudly. We congratulated ourselves that we had finally completed the project.
I had a chance to rest for a few days, but no one expected that the rest would be so long.
Beginning in 1996, there was a sudden oversupply of electricity that was not enough. As a result, the country began to compress power construction projects. As a person who had just cheered for no longer working overtime, I suddenly found that not only did I not need to work overtime, but I also no longer needed to go to work. So, every day
There is no longer a bonus column on the monthly payslip, and because the company is facing a major reform, the human resources department "doesn't have time" to make a salary list for us new graduates. We still get the monthly salary of interns and the actual income every month
Two hundred and fifty-six dollars and seven cents
In Beijing in 1996, the income of less than 300 yuan was definitely stretched, and many colleagues began to think of ways to do it. Some were transferred through entrustment relationships, and some resigned voluntarily. I personally found a job as a tutor in my spare time, every Wednesday.
Riding bicycles with Friday from Guangbo College to Panjiayuan, rain or shine
I always feel that difficult times can be easily overcome. "Why hasn't the country developed?" A few technicians sat together and cheered themselves up. By the end of 1996, my department finally took on some small projects.
, we can finally stop working part-time and our total monthly income has returned to around one thousand yuan.
In 1997, my department got a big project through connections, and everyone was happy. But at the same time, news came from above that no more power plants would be built in a few years.
Around that year, the superiors formulated a policy to "grasp the big ones and let go the small ones." My mother's unit happened to be among those who were let go, and it was sold to individuals at a price less than one-tenth of the total assets. Immediately, all employees were laid off, and her retirement
Jin has no whereabouts since then
When I returned home during the Spring Festival, I patted my chest and assured my mother that my income had exceeded 3,000 yuan, which was enough to use part of it to support her in her old age. But I couldn’t see a smile in her eyes. What she felt distressed about was not the more than 200 yuan a month.
She was sad that her previous thirty years of work had been in vain. She had worked for this country for more than thirty years and often worked overtime when she was young. At that time, the country told them that they were contributing to the "four modernizations"
She gave, but everything she gave was swept under the table
That year, I remembered a saying, “endure the labor pains!”
In those two years, college tuition fees doubled several times. I am glad that I have graduated.
In those two years, medical expenses increased several times, and the company no longer reimbursed medical expenses for non-leadership employees. I am fortunate that I am young and in good health.
A few years later, I learned a term from a Western magazine called "large-scale reduction of social welfare." When many Western countries face economic problems, the leaders will try to do this, but the consequence of this is that their policymakers will
Being kicked out of office by the people, just like former Australian Prime Minister Howard and his party
Do you know how painful labor pains are? How long do you want us to endure it?
