Thanks to everyone for your understanding, support or even ridicule. I wrote the small piece at the airport. My scheduled flight at 10.30 pm was canceled and I had to wait for literally the last flight of the day after midnight. The airport was deserted. I was hungry and tired. I then got this sense of 苦.
老齯 talked about 皇粮 but we call it 讨饭. In fact I ran into a colleague in the department last week. He looked visibly older than I last saw him two weeks ago. He told me he had basically lived in his office for two weeks to finish a grant proposal.
This is what I am thinking. Can we still call ourselves a success, if at age close to 50, we still have to work like a dog day in and day out to make a living? |
