The Diary of the Poorest Young Man in China's Rise to Fortune

In 2005, Lao Kang, aged thirty, found himself at a crossroads with his wife and son. He had no savings, no property; he had attended a mediocre school and studied an inferior major, lacking any special skills. After years of struggling and working in a series of undistinguished jobs, he was laid off unexpectedly. His poor performance had severed many friendships, leaving him with few social connections. With no clear path forward, his wife had lost faith in him, and his mother-in-law viewed him with disdain. The family lived in a cramped apartment under the roof of his in-laws' home, all the while concealing their dire circumstances from his parents in the countryside. Lao Kang harbored dreams but lacked the courage to pursue them.

One day, this young man with no power or influence sat down at his desk and conducted a thorough analysis of his bleak life. He decided to start by focusing on the smallest opportunities around him and to commit fully to one field. Behind what seemed like insignificant chances, Lao Kang seized tangible financial gains and learned practical methods for generating wealth. The tasks he undertook were simple, and the opportunities he encountered were common occurrences in daily life. Through consistent effort over three years, using the most ordinary means, he accumulated wealth gradually and steadily. By the end of this period, Lao Kang had transformed into a millionaire, earning over a million yuan annually.
