This feeling of being confused and overwhelmed in the face of the future is actually not new to Xu Xincheng, and he has had many similar experiences and experiences, especially in the first period after coming to Guangzhou to study at university.

--\\\

On the first Sunday morning after the start of the university, Zhou Dedao took him to Huacheng Square, the Pearl River, Haixinsha, Canton Tower and other places to play, and invited Xu Xincheng to his home for lunch.

Zhou Dedao's family is very solid, his home is 600 square meters, the decoration is very luxurious, and the real estate where their home is located is one of the top ten high-end real estate in Guangzhou. Xu Xincheng later learned that his parents had bought two more houses like that, one for Zhou Dedao and one for Zhou Demei.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, when he was about to leave his house, Xu Xincheng couldn't help but ask him curiously what the housing prices were here, and what were the housing prices of ordinary real estate in the urban area. Zhou Dedao hesitated for a while, and then said that the housing prices here are really high, so high that they will scare many people, especially outsiders who have just come to Guangzhou.

Xu Xincheng knew that the reason why Zhou Dedao was reluctant to say it was because he took into account his feelings and was afraid of scaring him, so he was a little moved and felt that Zhou Dedao was really good. However, he immediately said that he wanted to know the truth, but it didn't hurt.

Zhou Dedao then told him softly that the house price of their house is 90,006 per square meter, as for the house price of ordinary real estate in the urban area, the house price of each district and each real estate is different, and he is not too clear, he can only say that the house price of ordinary real estate in the urban area is generally between 30,000 and 40,000 per square meter.

Xu Xincheng still remembers that day and remembers that moment, because at that moment, his heart was extremely hesitant and panicked.

Before he came to Guangzhou, he had heard that the housing prices in Guangzhou were very expensive, and he knew that the housing prices in the first-tier cities were much higher than those in their hometown, but he had no idea how expensive the housing prices here were, because he had never looked up this problem on the Internet. And that day, he finally had a first-hand understanding, and this understanding had a great impact on his heart, because the amount that Zhou Dedao just said had far exceeded his expectations.

Xu Xincheng's mind immediately became messy, he was thinking: "I don't have a relative, I don't have a friend, I don't know anyone with a way, I have to find a job after graduation, although it is not difficult to find a job, but if I can't find a promising job, if I can't be promoted to senior management, if I'm just an ordinary worker, then, when can I earn enough money to realize my dream of buying a house in Guangzhou?" Let's not talk about high-end real estate houses, even if it is an ordinary real estate house, for me, it is difficult to compare. ”

On the first day of class, he found that there was a huge gap between him and his best classmates in terms of English application and oral English, and then he soon discovered that there was also a huge gap between him and his best classmates in terms of knowledge, vision, conversation, skills, and practical experience, and at this time, he found that there was an even bigger gap between him and his classmates from wealthy families in terms of economy.

The two huge gaps in front of him weighed heavily on him like two invisible mountains, but he had been carrying it tenaciously and unyieldingly, but at this moment, the third invisible mountain, the bigger mountain, suddenly pressed on his body that was already exhausted to the extreme, he finally couldn't bear it, he was finally crushed.

At that moment, Xu Xincheng, who had just gone through ten years of hard study, was filled with the joy of finally realizing his dream and the excitement of finally being admitted to his ideal university; after so many years of hard work and hard work, his pride of finally achieving his goal of studying in Guangzhou, and his pride of finally living in a first-tier city, was instantly replaced by hesitation and panic.

Although he was crushed, Xu Xincheng, who was born strong, did not allow himself to sink in confusion, hesitation and panic for too long. It was half past four when he returned to school that afternoon, and the weather outside was not good and gloomy, but as soon as he returned to the dormitory, he still changed into sportswear and running shoes, and he was going to run on the school playground.

This is his habit, whenever he is in a low mood, running can always relieve his low mood and quickly adjust his state.

But this time, running didn't seem to have the slightest effect, and after running two kilometers, his mood still didn't improve at all.

Xu Xincheng thought that through his own hard work and hard work for so many years, he had climbed a small mountain in his life, who knows, when he stood on the top of this small mountain and looked at the heights, he found that the mountain he climbed could only be regarded as a small hill compared to the high mountain in front of him, and the high mountain in front of him was the peak he had to climb.

And Xu Xincheng's most painful realization at this moment is that his classmates who were born and raised in big cities, especially those who were born in wealthy families, such as Zhou Dedao, have stood on the mountainside of the high mountain in front of them without any effort since they were born, and they have already stood at a height much higher than him.

Looking up at the mountain in front of him, which was almost unattainable for him, and looking up at its peak, Xu Xincheng asked himself: "Can I really climb that high mountain?"

At this time, Xu Xincheng, who was deeply confused and hesitant, saw Baiyun Mountain and saw the peak of Baiyun Mountain, and at this time he was looking up at the peak of 382 meters high.

The school's playground is at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, there is a path next to the playground, he heard Zhou Dedao say two days ago, along this path all the way up, you can enter the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area.

A thought suddenly appeared in his heart, a goal, "Yes, I want to run to the top of Baiyun Mountain, I want to climb up, I want to see the scenery there." ”

As soon as he made up his mind, he ran down the path. When Xu Xincheng ran into the path, he immediately noticed that the path was very rugged and steep, and it was obviously not the kind of road that was specially dug and built, but a dirt road that pedestrians going up the mountain had stepped on for many years.

What should I do if I run this road for the first time and there is no one who knows the way to lead the way?

There is no other way but to figure it out on your own.

The road ahead is long, I don't know how many difficulties and obstacles will lie ahead, what should I do?

Now that you have set your goals, you just have to move forward bravely and do your best to overcome the difficulties and obstacles ahead until you achieve your goals.

"Yes, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, I must achieve my goal!" Xu Xincheng said to himself. A great courage welled up in his heart, and this courage injected great strength into his body, and he transmitted this strength to his feet and took the first step to climb to the top.

In those two or three days, there were several heavy rainstorms, so the dirt road up the mountain was very slippery, and some sections of the road were potholed and muddy, Xu Xincheng fell three times when he ran the first mountain, and his right knee and hands were injured.

Xu Xincheng realized that running on a mountain road is completely different from running on a flat track in the playground, and that he must make quick adjustments, so he lowered the center of gravity of his body, and let his hands spread and swing freely when running, so that he could quickly balance his body by swinging his hands at any time, and in particularly slippery and muddy sections, he needed to reduce his speed, and he had to pay special attention to the road under his feet before taking every step.

After this adjustment, he never fell again when he ran the second and third hills.

He ran between the third and fourth hills, there was a crystal clear stream, the water was very clean, so Xu Xincheng stopped by the stream, washed his knee and hands that had just been injured with the stream, and when the stream touched the wound on his right knee, there was a sharp pain from the wound, and it turned out that the knee had broken skin and bled out. The wound was covered with mud just now, so I didn't notice that it was already bleeding. When I first went running, I didn't feel much pain because I didn't know it, but now I feel a sharp pain when I touch the water and see the wound.

Xu Xincheng got up and tried to run a few more steps, and with each step, his knee would ache faintly, and with every step he ran, the wound would be torn open, and with every step he ran, the wound would shed more blood.

What should I do? Go back? Just give up?
