Li Ke was filled with grievance. As a girl alone in the world, life was tough enough already. The struggle and exhaustion of striving for a living almost pushed her to the brink of giving up.
But then she would think of her parents back home, farmers whose livelihoods depended on the whims of nature, and of her younger brother who had just been accepted to college this year. Clenching her teeth, Li Ke was determined to persevere, no matter what.
She worked diligently during the day and took on part-time jobs at the golf course whenever she had the chance, enduring countless humiliations.
Just moments ago, as she went to get some water by the golf cart, a stray golf ball struck her on the head. She swayed and accidentally knocked a handbag off the cart.
The bag fell to the ground, its clasp open, and a mobile phone tumbled out, unfortunately hitting the cart in the process. The screen shattered upon impact.
