In this world, if people want to obtain something, they must pay a price.
But this is a cruel world. Even if you sacrifice everything, you may not get what you want.
Even more, if you give too much, it may invite enmity from others, and you might lose everything.
This simple truth, Huang Dahe understood very early on.
So, though he was born in Night City, Huang Dahe never complained about his fate or resented others.
Because he was already lucky enough, truly lucky enough.
He had a brilliant mind, a loving family, and he seized every opportunity to climb higher.
So even when someone kicked him down the ladder and he was jolted awake from that life, he didn't give up or complain about his fate or remain down and out.
Nor did he ever consider that simplest method of avoiding problems.
Because he was very clear that any trace of despair or regret would betray his own hard work and efforts along the way.
What's more, he hadn't done anything wrong!
