Description

A book that became popular in China and has been translated into 15 languages, tells the story of a person who went from working as a porter and courier in Beijing to recognition in literary circles. Growing up in a poor family, he from a young age faced the need to earn his own living. His dreams are simple: the ability to sleep well, not to experience constant lack of food, and to avoid heat and noise. This is a story about the struggle for a better life, overcoming difficulties, and the modest aspirations of an ordinary person who wants to live better than before.

The memoirs of Hu Anyan, a worker in China, became powerful evidence of the hardships faced by those who do heavy, unnoticed work every day. After numerous job changes and delivering thousands of parcels, he shared his experience of preserving human dignity when choices are limited. This story has now resonated around the world.
