Hello everyone, welcome to Qi Qi Baba, I am Qi Qi. Just recently here in the United States, regarding this, someone was interviewed, and a government official said that a Chinese AI revealed military equipment plans to the United States, which shocked them very much. To be honest, I am also shocked, and furthermore, China's AI is just like DeepSeek back then, claiming to be ChatGPT, right? China's AI nowadays is also entirely a skin grafted over a foreign AI. This is actually something we anticipated long ago, but for the AI to actually know the CCP's military equipment plans, hmm, I think it's quite magical. Then I made a bold speculation. It might be that someone inside is too stupid. They had questions they wanted to ask the AI, and in order to do so, they needed to explain clearly what they were asking about, right? So they might have leaked some plans, ideas, and contents from their meetings to the AI. As a result, the AI is a big-mouthed gossip. Everyone doesn't need to think my guess is too outrageous, because I think the reality is very likely like this, or friends can think about what other possibilities there might be.
I want to share a heartbreaking fact with everyone: for many ordinary families, at the end of each year, they actually haven't saved much money, and some are even living beyond their means. Take my family of three, for example. My husband's monthly take-home pay is 8,500 yuan, and with his year-end bonus and such, it comes to about 9,000 yuan a month. I am a full-time homemaker, and I work a part-time job in the evenings, which brings in 1,500 yuan a month. Our total family income is around 10,000 yuan. We have a lot of loans: our mortgage is 2,300 yuan, and our renovation loan is 3,500 yuan. Since our house is in Huangshi, we are renting in Wuhan, which costs 2,400 yuan. Add in about 500-600 yuan for monthly utilities, plus my husband's car expenses, our own food, clothes, and other miscellaneous costs I haven't even calculated. All of this is covered by my husband's salary. These are fixed monthly expenses that must be paid no matter what because of the loans. So, his monthly salary is actually gone down to the last cent, and sometimes it's not even enough, forcing us to occasionally use credit cards. I earn 1,500 yuan from my part-time job. We spend 600 yuan on groceries and 500 yuan on formula and diapers for our son. The remaining few hundred yuan goes toward fruit or household supplies. Honestly, it's not enough for me either; I occasionally have to ask my husband for more. My husband doesn't smoke or drink, which saves us about 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a year. I think for ordinary people, if you don't have any savings and your monthly income is just enough to cover your basic needs, you should try your best to quit bad habits like smoking and drinking. Also, only buy what you really need and cut back on unnecessary purchases. I used to buy things blindly before I got married—I'd buy them and never use them. Later, when we moved, we threw everything away, which was a total waste. And clothes—don't buy too many. Like me, I have many clothes I've never worn. Just buy a few high-quality pieces; that's enough to rotate through each year. Yesterday, I cleared out several sacks of clothes to sell as scrap. Seriously, if you look at these small expenses, you can't afford to calculate them; once you do, you realize it's a huge amount of money over the course of a year. So, I want to give some advice to young people, especially those who aren't married yet. If you have the ability to earn money now, work hard to make money during these years. Or, if you are in a company or organization that is doing well, you really should work hard to earn and save money. Some people might say, 'Those who know how to spend money know how to earn it; you need the ability to spend to have the motivation to earn.' Let me tell you, don't listen to that. I don't know who came up with that, but don't listen to them. We must have the concept of saving money. Young people should only spend money when it's necessary. If something is optional, I suggest not buying it if you can avoid it. Based on my own experience, now that we are in a difficult economic situation—especially since I became a full-time mom and have no income—I really regret not saving more money back then. Because the current economy is really not that good, especially when neither side has any family wealth to fall back on. I don't know if the economy will be good in the future; I can't predict or judge that. But I think that in the current situation, everyone should be a bit more frugal. To be honest, only by increasing income and cutting expenses, and saving wherever you can, can you safely get through these days instead of living a precarious life. People really need to have a sense of being prepared for danger in times of peace. I only understood this truth after I turned thirty, got married, and had a child.
Yesterday I couldn't afford to pay for my purchases again. Well, my eldest daughter had her final exams yesterday; she's in the eighth grade. She was originally supposed to be let out of school at 7:30, but the teacher temporarily notified us that school would let out at 5:25, so I didn't make dinner and took my two children to pick her up. The child said she wanted to eat that corn sausage, saying it tastes good when cooked in noodles, so I took the two of them into the supermarket to buy it. I had bought two before, one was 2 yuan, and a whole pack was 15 yuan, and they were the same size, so I thought I might as well buy a pack since we were going to eat it anyway. I bought a pack of ham sausages. The kids saw some candy and wanted to buy it, saying they hadn't tried this candy before, so each of them took one. I didn't know how much it cost and didn't look at the price. When I went to pay, it came out to 28.60 yuan, but I only had about 28.40 yuan in my phone, and then, uh, I had a few cents in change. When paying, it said twice, "Hey, your balance is insufficient," and then I transferred those few cents into this card, making it 28.80 yuan, and paid the 28.60 yuan. Um, through this incident, I felt, uh, sad once again. Actually, I've been reflecting on this; I never imagined I would end up living like this. To be honest, in the past, no matter when it was, ever since I went out to work at the age of 15, there had never been a time when I couldn't pull out money in my hands, even back when we were building this house. It was very hard at that time, and we owed people rent, um, I borrowed a lot of money outside to build a house for my family, but I paid them back one by one, and it never got to such a pathetic state. Through this time and time again of paying and not being able to scrape together the money, and not even for things I insisted on buying, but for everyday use items, things for me to eat, I thought to myself that relying on anyone is useless. There is a saying that goes: When a person truly reaches the abyss of despair, apart from saving oneself, no one will say, "Oh, let me pull you up." Actually, I didn't expect anyone, um, to pull me up, because I can understand anyone, but others won't understand me. People always say sincerity is exchanged for sincerity, but I feel this phrase doesn't exist, so I still plan to go find a job by myself and not count on anyone. Um, I had 850 yuan in cash yesterday, but I left it at home and didn't bring it, meaning I had no money on my phone, which made me sad.
I am twenty years old this year. With no house, no car, and no savings, I am a complete loser. Since childhood, others bullied me, and I never dared to fight back. You tell me if I'm not a loser, what am I? Bullied while studying, and unable to make any money after coming out to work. Working twelve-hour night shifts in a factory, just grinding and grinding away, making 200 yuan a day, I am truly breaking down. I am so lost, I don't know what to do with my life. Fuck! Am I going to work for others for the rest of my life? Am I going to work for others for my whole life? Am I going to spend ninety percent of my life working for others? I am really so lost! Fuck.
Hey!
Grinding and grinding away for 200 yuan. If I don't work, I don't know what else to do. A loser like me can't do anything. I am truly beyond saving, brother. Drinking those loser drinks every day, smoking those 12 or 13 yuan loser cigarettes, I am living a loser's life, completely ruined. Working to make money is just too slow. I'm afraid at this rate, if I keep working, working, working until I'm fifty, I'll still be working. Am I going to remain a loser like this for the rest of my life? Going to be a loser my whole life? I am really so unwilling to accept this! At twenty, people say twenty is such a good age, but I haven't felt the beauty of this age at all. Aside from working, it's just working. I am tired, fuck! I am really tired. I'm having a total breakdown! Why do others have everything the moment they are born, while I have nothing at all? My body, my body is so weak. My brain is stupid to the extreme, learning something five or six times and still not getting it—if I'm not a loser, what am I? I can't play games well, and I can't study well either. A person like me is at the very bottom of society, forever someone at the absolute bottom of the bottom of society. Isn't there a saying on the internet? Uh, I am the scrap metal of society, oh, my parents' little pride, hum, I'm just a loser.
Have you noticed something? As long as a man stays at home for more than two months, you have committed a heinous crime. Today, I want to talk about my own situation and share this with everyone. I have been resting at home for nearly two months. It is truly not because I am lazy or unwilling to go out and earn money; my lumbar spine and cervical spine have chronic issues, and my body simply couldn't take it anymore, so I am recuperating at home. But during this time at home, I have seen things clearly: as long as a man isn't earning money, his status at home plummets, and everything he does becomes an eyesore. My wife is constantly giving me the cold shoulder and never gives me a pleasant look. On top of that, our small town has a narrow social circle, with a bunch of stay-at-home moms gathering every day to gossip and meddle in others' business. Every day, someone compares their husbands, saying whose husband earns over 10,000 a month at a construction site, or whose husband bought a car worth over 100,000. These idle rumors all reach my wife's ears. She hangs out with this group, and after hearing so much comparison, she is full of anxiety and impatience. When she gets home, she nitpicks everything I do. Only in middle age do you realize how hard it is to be an adult; no one understands the physical pain, and there is nowhere to vent the grievances in your heart. I have scrolled through my contacts, wanting to find someone to talk to, but in the end, I just silently keep my mouth shut. Everyone demands that middle-aged people must be strong, but no one ever cares if we are in pain or exhausted. All negative emotions have to be digested secretly in the middle of the night. The miserable situation I am in is not accidental; let me tell you a few reasons for this. The social circle in a small town easily breeds comparison and internal friction. Outsiders only look at your income and do not care about your suffering. In big cities, everyone is busy with their own lives, and no one stares at how much money someone else makes. In a small town, you see the same people every day; neighbors talk about comparing men's incomes. Outsiders don't care at all how much your back hurts or if your body can handle it; they only stare at how much money you bring home every month and then wait to see you make a fool of yourself. When life is smooth, you are surrounded by people who only add flowers to the bouquet; once you hit a temporary low point, you are surrounded by gossip and finger-pointing. Others only care about the loose change in someone else's pocket; no one cares about the physical pain someone else is enduring. Besides, what does it matter to you how much money someone else earns? Many couples don't have any deep-seated hatred; the conflicts are all stirred up by the idle chatter of others. My wife is not a bad person at heart; she just cares too much about the opinions of outsiders and is easily led astray by the gossip of the moms around her. Mindset—life is lived by a couple day in and day out. I am the one bearing the physical pain and suffering, but she is always afraid that the neighbors will laugh at our family behind our backs. It is clearly our own life, yet we live it as if we are performing for the whole village. A few casual words from outsiders can intensify the rift between a couple. The most foolish thing an adult can do is to punish the person sleeping next to them who is going through life with them because of the idle chatter of strangers. Life should be lived for one's own comfort, not to put on a show for outsiders. The hardships of middle age must be overcome by oneself; don't live under the tongues of others. When you are young, you can find anyone to vent to when you are uncomfortable; by middle age, everyone is carrying their own life pressures, and no one has the extra energy to accommodate your negative emotions. You have to maintain a steady and reliable image outside, and you have to shoulder the burden of supporting the family at home; even breaking down has to be done in the dead of night when no one is around. As the old saying goes, there is gossip every day; if you don't listen, it naturally disappears. But too many people are trapped in worldly views and don't know how to treat themselves well. Once your body collapses, no amount of money can make up for it. Taking a short break to recuperate is never a mistake; there is no need to feel guilty. People who add flowers to the bouquet are everywhere, but those who provide help in times of need are rare. The only person you can rely on in this life, from beginning to end, is yourself. All kinds of suffering must eventually be overcome by oneself; the chatter of others is all just passing clouds! I sincerely advise all the friends in front of the screen who are living their lives: don't live under the tongues of others, and your health is always the top priority. If you are tired or in pain, rest peacefully. There is no need to blindly compare yourself with others, stop gathering for gossip, stop getting involved in right and wrong, and take the finger-pointing of the outside world lightly. A couple with one heart, living a stable life, is more important than anything else!
Sometimes what truly drives people to a breakdown isn't some sudden major event, but realizing you can't even scrape together a few dozen yuan. At 43 with three kids, her husband making a bit over 3,000 a month, mortgages, health insurance, commercial insurance, heating fees, property management fees, credit cards—one bill after another. The temperature suddenly drops, last year's clothes no longer fit, and two down jackets cost 1,100. Lying in bed at night, my head is full of money. What pierces the heart most is when a child asks, 'Mom, did you bring me something?' and she doesn't even dare to face it. There are couples who both lost their jobs, haven't received a salary in months, with mortgages and car loans totaling nearly 10,000. When there is no money in hand, 800 yuan paid in compensation by a neighbor unexpectedly becomes the key to whether they can eat that day. Someone at 32 checked their bank card over and over to find only 852 yuan left; the child's school transfer requires 2,000, so they can only pay 800 first and go borrow money from friends, only to call around a whole circle and fail to borrow a single penny. What is even more suffocating is a young person, 20 years old, with no house, no car, no savings, working 12 hours a day in a factory for just 200 yuan. It's not that he doesn't want to change, but he knows nothing besides factory work. Watching others go out to have fun at 20 while he has to work the night shift every day, he even begins to doubt whether his entire life will just be spent working for others like this. After 40 it gets even harder; the body starts having issues while jobs are increasingly picky about age. Elderly parents above, children below, mortgage and car loans just as numerous. Especially in some rural families, post-90s youth are catching up with marriage, buying a house, buying a car, starting a business, bride prices, loans, and business failures piling up all at once, potentially turning a family from normal living into massive debt in an instant. But perhaps the most heartbreaking thing isn't lacking money, but that after running out of money, even dignity and emotions become exceptionally fragile. Some people take two months off to recover from illness, yet people around them only fixate on why you aren't making money. Between spouses there are clearly no deep grievances, yet they constantly quarrel due to outsiders' comparisons and gossip. When all is said and done, what ease is there in the lives of ordinary people? When money is plentiful, life feels simple; previously, mortgages, children, elderly parents, illnesses, and work all came knocking at the same time. Therefore, what many people truly lack right now isn't chicken soup for the soul, but a little breathing room to catch their breath. Save a bit when you can, spend a bit less when you can, because when you truly reach the point of having no money in your hands, you discover that a mere few dozen yuan can keep an adult awake all night.
Working 12 hours in two shifts has almost become the norm now. Or rather, behind the Great Firewall, there is simply no fixed working hours, because uh, when you work inside the Great Firewall, you are always on working time. They say it's a holiday, and you might have even gone out to travel or play, but your boss suddenly sends you a message telling you to do this, that, and the other. At that moment, you pull out your computer and immediately have to start working—yeah, it's like that, there is no such thing as a holiday rest. In reality, work must take priority at all times. But under these circumstances, we also see that Chinese people can't pull any money out of their pockets and still can't make money. So you say work is so hard—where did the value created actually go?
