Is it worth leaving one’s hometown, one’s wife, and one’s children in order to earn a little more money?
Thread Content
In recent years, many new chemical industry projects have been established, creating new job opportunities for professionals in this field. However, many of these projects are located in remote areas such as Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Ningxia, and northern Shaanxi. Some of these places are simply not suitable for living with one’s wife and children. If one wants to earn more money, they have to leave their hometowns, their wives, and their children behind and work alone in isolation. Do you think it’s worth doing that? Welcome to join the discussion.
So frustrating!!! How can the original poster ask such a question? 1. Unless forced by life, no one wants to leave their hometown to earn money ； 2. If I could earn 1000 back in my hometown, I definitely wouldn’t go out to earn those 1500, unless they offered more than 2000 ； 3. Otherwise, I’ll have to change careers; I’ve spent half my life in a chemical plant, so it’s not easy to switch careers ； 4. All newly launched chemical projects are located in remote areas. In short, out of necessity, you have no choice but not to go: the standard of living is low, there’s no money for your children’s education; you may enjoy momentary pleasures, but poverty will follow you for life.
Hehe, if real money is indeed made and the goal that initially led to making money through that accident is achieved, then every penny counts! If you don’t make any money, it’s just a little more – the goal isn’t fully achieved, so it’s not worth it! If it were me, I would choose family ties; money is something external to one’s self. After the ’5.12’ disaster, I came to realize that having a united family is the most precious thing of all.
Tong Ange sings in his songs: For the sake of life, we. . . . . . What else can one do after leaving the chemical industry factory? Sometimes it’s really frustrating, but there’s nothing you can do about it. Personal opinion: It’s worth considering after weighing the pros and cons; home is home wherever it is.
It depends on an individual’s values and specific circumstances, I guess. It is also possible to achieve good progress in one’s career in remote areas, with less competition. If things go well, it might not be a bad idea to bring my wife and kids over as well. Personally, I think one’s career should serve the family. In a word, it’s not easy to live a good life.
Life is not easy for ordinary people these days; it’s difficult to raise a child, and it’s hard to make money as well. If you have no money, you can’t stay at home either. The situation now is that money comes first; that’s the mindset of people across the country, it’s an inevitable pressure. Anyway, if I have enough money, I’m willing to work as a bricklayer or tile setter; you can move me wherever you want.
I think what’s important are one’s age, abilities, and financial situation. If one is young and full of energy, having the opportunity to grow and develop in remote areas, while gaining both financial benefits and knowledge and experience, is definitely worthwhile. Modern people should possess the hardworking spirit of those in the 1950s or 1960s – only by enduring hardships can one succeed; there must be effort before there can be reward. Moreover, such opportunities for training serve as a means of improving and honing oneself, and such experience is truly valuable. With 3 to 5 years of experience in plant management, production management, or technical management, one will also have strong adaptability when moving to new jobs. In essence, this kind of training can be considered equivalent to military service.
The original poster seems to have extensive experience in this field; so there’s no need to explain things like the situation in the industry, how to strive for success, or how to improve one’s skills – the original poster probably already knows all of that! To be honest, I feel that once you have a family and children, there’s no need to keep striving and drifting around outside. Ignoring the wife, ignoring the children – no amount of salary matters then! Harmony in the family is the most important thing. If the original poster is truly forced to do this due to financial difficulties, then I have nothing to say. But if working from home allows one to make ends meet and ensure housing as well as their children’s schooling, I think it’s still warmer to stay at home with one’s wife and children by the warm stove! As for the final decision, it still depends on the original poster considering their own circumstances comprehensively. I just hope that one won’t neglect their family for the sake of money!
There’s absolutely no need for it; why go to work?
100 Days Away from Home By Er Chen Not long, not short – just a period in my life! ??It didn’t take up too much time?? It didn’t play a very important role?? You are the reason for a mother’s tears of longing;; You are the cause of a father’s sighs on his shoulders;; You are the hopeful gaze in a grandmother’s aged eyes;; You are the desire that drives an grandfather to stretch out his back;; You will always remain in my heart;; You will continue to occupy the path of my days;; Ah, a hundred days!! Thinking of your departure, my vision gradually blurs;; My ambitions begin to fade away;; But my heart is even more shocked;; Free from my obsessive love for you, my dreams can once again fly lightly!! While you were in my life, my illnesses kept recurring;; My bare heart bore a sense of desolation;; My tears are full of helplessness;; My steps are heavy;; I can only express my longing through this heartless tool called a phone;; The affection carried by homing pigeons fills my heart;; There are no relatives to kiss me;; Only my tears fly in my dreams;; The scent of home sings in my heart;; My dreams stir abroad;; A elderly person’ s helplessness makes me extremely sad;; A great woman urges me to keep climbing the heights of knowledge;; My thoughts drift through the universe;; Youth will never wander away!! Ah, a hundred days!! You kissed me;; Yet you still hurry off;; Where are you going? I don’t know, and I don’t care;; I want you to create my glory;; A hundred days, oh a hundred days!! Don’t forget my expectations of you;; I want you to be my bride;; Don’t abandon me;; I want to truly stay in your dreamy waterside world!
There’s no need for that; in life, it’s not about achieving great wealth and status – happiness is what matters most.
Everyone has their own choices; the pros and cons are balanced. It depends on your own choice; the economic foundation determines the superstructure. You can choose to earn some money for a few years; everyone can work harder, and then go back home to spend time with their family. Who says working at one company for the rest of your life? Talent mobility is very fast these days.
This topic shouldn’t be discussed in the technical exchange area; it depends on individual circumstances. If no one is willing to sacrifice their family, then who will take on the task of construction? Just as soldiers serve at the borders, sacrificing their personal lives for the greater good – someone has to make sacrifices. Of course, in a harmonious society, it’s best to have a wife, children, and a comfortable home.
I arrange my life according to my income, and I am satisfied regardless of whether it is high or low. So I don’t think it’s worth it.
Life is full of such helplessness when time is limited; it’s impossible to have everything perfect. In order to enable our wives and children to enjoy the pleasures and comforts of life, we often have to leave our homes and go far away, staying apart from them and working alone out there. As long as this allows them to lead a good life, no matter how hard or tiring it is, it’s worth it. Come on, let’s raise a toast to life! :loveliness:
I know it’s not worth it, but due to life’s pressures, there’s nothing I can do! Look, how many migrant workers are working away from their wives and children, far from their family back home!
A true man aspires to go far and wide; he follows his own path and lets others talk! Since you have chosen to go out, don’t overthink it; just stay confident and do it. Happiness does not favor the lazy!

If life is prosperous and comfortable, who would choose to leave home and head to the east or west? Throughout history, how many people have done just that? Now that you’re out, stop worrying about whether it’s worth it or not. Think of your wife, children, and family, and work hard to build a successful career for them as well as for yourself.
It depends on the specific circumstances; rather than staying together and living in poverty, it’s better to go out and try one’s luck. It would be even better if there was a good career plan.
