The most terrifying thing for a family is not temporary lack of money, but that each generation is forced to start from zero. Parents work their whole lives, overexerting their bodies and exhausting their youth, but can only leave behind meager savings and full exhaustion; when children grow up, they repeat the same life trajectory, starting from the bottom again, struggling and anxious over the pressures of life. Many people think poverty is just a lack of money, but what is even harder to break is the cycle of "intergenerational zeroing out," where aside from physical labor and basic skills, almost nothing is truly accumulated or passed down. Because what truly determines how far a family can go is never just the numbers in the bank account, but cognition, vision, health, connections, habits, education, and family traditions. Those who only focus on making money but don’t understand long-term accumulation are like a single-player game that cannot be saved—once a generation ends, everything resets; whereas families that can achieve social mobility often do the same thing: the elders are responsible for consolidating experience, broadening cognition, and accumulating resources, while the children stand on a higher starting point to continue moving forward, allowing the family to gradually build compound interest like a rolling snowball. Ordinary people don’t necessarily need to become rich overnight, but at least starting from our own generation, we should strive to end the cycle of "generations starting from scratch." Because the meaning of our hard work is not only to live decently ourselves but also to ensure that the next generation doesn’t have to repeat the hardships and detours we’ve gone through.
