I met my husband when I was a postgraduate student. We got married after our graduation. I thought we, like many 1 we know, would hold 2 jobs and share a cozy apartment. I followed my husband, who was eager to continue his 3 studies, to another city where he would study. Although I was 4 prepared for the “arduous days” 5 by my parents and friends, I 6 felt shocked and pressured 7 those days actually came. I found it difficult for a girl 8 any work experience to find a suitable job 9 having a good degree. 10 I am working at now has no 11 with my major. The subsidy (津贴) provided to my husband now is less than $ 300. To 12 money, we have rented a tiny room in an area 13 with all kinds of working people and cook dinners ourselves. We 14 stroll in markets and we consider the 15 value of each item we buy. We never thought our life would turn out to be like this. 16 , I am still happy. My husband is smart and always strives to 17 himself. He loves me deeply and tries to do everything to please me. I won’t stop studying or searching for better opportunities to realize my dream. Compared 18 young people who 19 their parents for a “happy life”, I am very proud that we are paving the way 20 success by ourselves, isn’t it a unique and happy life?
