At the age when one should understand the ways of the world, I still cause worry to my parents

The large fine chemical company I work for is also facing unprecedented difficulties, with salary payments delayed for nearly four months now. My 85-year-old parents somehow found out that I was delayed in receiving my salary, and they sent me money as well as daily necessities. Now that I am approaching old age, I shed tears after their passing; at such an advanced age, I still caused them worry. It’s not that I don’t have any savings; it’s that my parents are worried. I also want to resign and join a better company; as a key member of the management and technical team, I would like to contribute to the company’s development, but it’s unclear when the current situation will change. I’m very anxious right now.
No matter how old they are, they are still children in their parents’ eyes.
The pressure is really increasing, both in life and mentally. . . . . Two river dives witnessed in one week; CCTV asks: Are you happy?
The working class has no choice but to endure this; there is indeed a concern about life in the future.
In our parents’ eyes, we will always be children. All we can do is spend as much time with them as possible. By showing respect to them, one avoids the regret of wanting to care for one’s parents only to find them no longer alive.
Reading this post makes me feel a bit sad...
I’m not sure whether the author works for a state-owned enterprise or a private company; welfare benefits in China are extremely poor – people still have to struggle to make a living even at an age when they should be retired. In Europe and America, one can live comfortably even on unemployment benefits.
