Typical cases
Daming is 45 years old this year. He came to this unit when he graduated from college at the age of 23, and has been working for 22 years now. Currently, he is only a deputy chief staff member. If it hasn't been mentioned in the past year or two, it may be difficult for him to have any more opportunities. However, this year's newly transferred colleagues from the unit are in good working condition, and Daming feels that his chances of promotion are not very great.
Daming can't tell his wife about this worry, because she can't help but nag and make trouble. Previously, he would talk to colleagues and occasionally complain online. Recently, he even lost his desire to talk.
Daming's fear of age seems to have arrived overnight. At a recent classmate party, he was also particularly depressed. Watching his classmates driving famous cars and brand-name clothes dangling in front of him, this kind of stimulation was unbearable for him and caused great psychological pressure on him. Daming increasingly feels that he is useless and has struggled for most of his life without achieving anything.
He often fantasizes, such as whether he should change his job, simply resign and go into business, or immigrate to Canada or Australia. He always thinks anxiously that if he doesn't change, he will definitely not be able to catch up with his classmates by rocket, nor can he catch up with this era of increasingly high consumption.
However, no matter how restless Daming is all night and how depressed he is, he cannot drive away the reality that he is getting older and older. He suddenly felt that at his age, many dreams had passed away, and what had not been realized seemed as if it would never be realized again. He really doesn't know how to persuade himself.
