‘Exhausted Like Dog': Chinese Delivery Man Breaks Down After Working ‘10 Hours A Day'
Last Updated: A Chinese food delivery worker shared a tearful video about his hardships and regret for leaving school early. He works 10-hour shifts, exhausted, struggling to support his parents A Chinese food delivery worker broke down in tears during his shift, recording a heartfelt video about his hardships and one major regret: leaving school too early. Wearing his bright yellow uniform, he candidly shared the daily mental and physical toll of working in the gig economy. In his video, he said he worked 10-hour shifts without rest, feeling 'exhausted like a dog," and still struggling to make ends meet. Despite my teacher's warning me against dropping out of school, he said, 'I did so and now I realise the importance of their advice". 'And now? I deliver food for over 10 hours a day, exhausted like a dog. I don't dare slack off even for a second, because the moment I do, life punishes me with an empty stomach. How could I not feel anxious?" he said. He confessed to feeling crushed by the demands of his job and the weight of regret for not being able to support his parents or pursue his own life goals. 'I can't give my parents the life they deserve, I can't even live the life the way I want either. It breaks my heart. But who can I even talk to about it?" he added. The caption of the video posted on Instagram said, 'The man, who says he never went to university, opens up about the brutal reality of his daily life, delivering food for more than ten hours a day, without rest, security, or long-term stability." Thousands of viewers expressed sympathy and concern for the delivery executive. 'Oh brother, don't cry, even people who graduated struggle nowadays, don't worry," one of the users commented. 'Being born to parents who can give you opportunities is such a blessing many don't understand," said another. 'Sir I have an education and am in the same situation as you so," a third person said. Meanwhile, last year in Hangzhou, China, a 55-year-old food deliveryman died after falling asleep on his electric bike following an exhausting 18-hour work shift. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
