Chapter 1

Born as humans, we are destined to suffer.

I dedicate this piece to you, to me, to all ordinary people.

...

In this world of fleeting splendor, in this bustling red dust, each one of us, as ordinary people, suffers greatly.

Of course, there are those fortunate few who are born at the finish line of our struggles, but I believe they, like us, have their own troubles—though I do not understand those troubles.

Do you understand?

...

Is the pressure of life great?

Who has not thought of making a name for themselves?

Who does not wish to carve out their own sky?

Perhaps in our youth, we dreamed for our ideals.

But as adults, our struggle has little to do with so-called ideals.

Perhaps we only want to live with pride.

Perhaps we only want to live with our heads held high.

Or perhaps... after enduring countless hardships and setbacks, we struggle just so that we and our families do not live in such frustration.

For this, we strive, we work hard, we give everything we have.

Enduring heavy workloads, enduring the scolding of superiors, and even having to put on a smile.

Countless lonely nights, enduring pain, gritting our teeth, tears streaming down our faces, sitting in the dark living room, do our eyes flash with the light of a wolf?

In our hearts, there is only one phrase—give me a chance!

I only need one chance!

One chance!

I have a heart for struggle, please give me a chance to fight for it!

...

We live in mediocrity, we pass day after day in ordinariness.

Enduring monotony, enduring everything.

We are not incapable, nor do we not want to; but we do not see hope.

And this hope is opportunity.

The person who knows the least about themselves is themselves.

Before the opportunity comes, even if we have the heart to strive, we do not know in which direction to strive, to fight!

This confusion, you have, I have.

We may have studied chemistry, literature, nursing, computer science...

But our majors may not be our strengths.

They may not be the most suitable jobs for us.

Many people, by chance, find the cause they can dedicate their lives to. Once they see that light, they seize it tightly and rise from adversity.

For example... a computer science major, after graduating, works in a factory. One day, at a friend's request, he helps sell a product...

Then he discovers he has a talent for sales.

After a few successful attempts, he resigns and becomes a top salesperson.

For example, a teacher, after graduating, becomes a teacher. One day, he discovers that singing can earn money, tries recording a short video, and it becomes a minor hit...

After a series of successes, he becomes an internet celebrity.

For example, a medical professional, after working in a hospital for years, starts writing novels because of his frequent reading of web novels. His novel becomes a hit...

From then on, he dedicates himself to web novels.

For example, an introverted and shy person, by chance, is asked to speak on stage and discovers he has a talent for teaching...

There are many such examples.

We often see them.

For such people, I generally call them, a hardworking person, a lucky person in life, who has found the direction to strive for!

Seized the opportunity to fight for!

And often, such people, once they seize this opportunity, will burst with a hundred times more passion, making their lives burn for this opportunity!

That kind of struggle, that kind of day and night, is even hard to understand.

Because they no longer want to return to their original lives. They give everything, burn themselves, to seize this opportunity!

Everyone is like this.

These opportunities often appear when we least expect them... and then slip away—most of the time, they come about unintentionally.

When they come, even the person themselves may not notice.

But life has already changed.

If we deliberately seek them, we may not find them.

The wonder of the world is no greater than this.

Every successful person, more than ninety percent of their most successful careers, are not their main majors.

Ironically, isn't it?

Not at all.

Because that is reality.

The same education, the same courses, can create millions of talents, forming this kaleidoscopic world.

This is the human world.

We are all ordinary people.

We all have a heart for struggle.

Each one of us is always ready.

But most people have not found their opportunity to strive for.

No one wants to be mediocre.

No one wants to be ordinary.

Everyone has a cause that can be great, the difference lies in whether we can find this opportunity.

Whether we can seize this opportunity.

...

Opportunity.

These two words are very important.

We also strive, we also endure, we also work hard. But we just endure, wait, and wait with all our might.

Suppressing ourselves, enduring life, is not cowardice.

It is accumulation.

Accumulating ourselves, silently telling ourselves.

Once I find my opportunity, I will make everyone look at me with new eyes, in shock!

I want to tell those who do not take me seriously, one day, I will make you... unable to look down on me!

Let the girl I pursued in vain imagine, if she had agreed to me back then...

Let the parents who cannot help but end the conversation when they hear their neighbors boasting about their children stand tall and say with a red face: My son (my daughter)... is now very capable!

The ambition in our hearts has never subsided.

The light of the wolf in our eyes has never dimmed!

You, me, we all bite our teeth and endure in this bustling red dust, waiting.

Waiting for the opportunity to soar.

Waiting for the true talent to shine.

Never giving up.

...

Why do we sometimes like to read about穿越 (time travel)?

Because that person, just like us, suddenly has such an opportunity—though it is not by their own will.

And whether we have such an opportunity, we do not know.

Even if we do, now... we cannot know.

But it does not stop us from watching that person, just like us, thrive in a different world.

This is not laughable.

Because we are all the same.

Once our own opportunity to strive for appears, we can also thrive like them...

Thrive!

I sincerely hope that we can all find the opportunity to change our fate—the opportunity worth striving for!

If any of you discover your opportunity, please come to the book review section and tell me.

I will celebrate for you.

...

We are like this, ordinary, plain.

Day after day, year after year.

Repeating our work, waiting for the opportunity to change.

We have never been slack in our current work.

Life must continue.

The future must be hoped for.

Our hope for the future has never been abandoned.

Ambition has never disappeared.

The light of the wolf has never dimmed.

Waiting.

...

Perhaps some younger friends have not had such experiences and insights. Then I bless you, may you never understand this article, never have such experiences and insights.

Then you will be the happiest.

...

The new book is starting, perhaps talking about such a heavy topic is not appropriate.

But I sincerely hope that everyone can find the opportunity to strive for!

The new book, "Biluo Tian Dao," has started.

First released on Qidian.

Sincerely inviting all heroes to join.

Together, witness the life storms of an ordinary person in a different world. See how he grasps his opportunity.

...

Thank you for your tolerance over the past decade.

Bless you, may you see good stories, may you smile with understanding.

Bless myself, may I write this book well.

Hope I do not disappoint the name "Biluo."

Do not disappoint the name "Tian Dao."

...

Biluo: In Daoism, it is believed that the highest sky in the east is covered with greenish-blue clouds, later becoming a synonym for the sky.

Another interpretation: Biluo Tian is the first of the thirty-three heavens.

Tian Dao: You can interpret it freely...

Hope this book does not disappoint you.

Hope our journey with this new book is pleasant.
