In the video "Lin An's Living Room" (https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Cb411o7hh/) released by Station B on March 22, 2023, the protagonist shared that he escaped from a large factory twice and moved to Bali opens up the unique experience of digital nomad life.
The protagonist initially works in Xiaohongshu, which is a pretty good job in the eyes of many people: the content is interesting, the voice is high-pitched, you don’t have to sit in an office, and the salary is quite generous. However, the high-intensity pace of work gradually made her feel lost in her busy schedule. When I joined ByteDance again, it was like playing a breakout game over and over again. My brain couldn't fool itself anymore and I felt exhausted.
At work, people seem to be locked into a single game track, and they firmly believe that if they don't succeed on that track, they will become a loser. The work-to-work model ruthlessly deprives people of their possibilities and forces everyone to participate in the same trajectory. It's like a limited game, follow a line, try to break through each level, and you must always compare yourself with those around you. The goal is clear, but frustrating.
After experiencing the baptism of a large factory, the protagonist resolutely embarked on the road of freelancing and became a digital nomad. After traveling to Chengdu, Dali, Guangdong and other places, she decided to go abroad and start a different life. Freelancing has no clear goal direction and is like a journey of self-exploration. Options can be changed every few years, there is no unified standard, and it is full of uncertainty, but because of this, it gives more freedom to life.
Although many people envy the digital nomad life lived by the protagonist of Little Red Book and think it is very leisurely, the degree of hard work behind it is far greater than before. Because what she's doing means so much to her and she's so passionate about it, she's more willing to give it her all. This is completely different from her mentality of working for her boss.
Although the work in large factories is stable, it is like an established track, limiting the diversity of life; the life of digital nomads seems to be free, but in fact it requires taking greater risks. But it is this risk that breeds unlimited possibilities, allowing people to truly live according to their own rhythm and wishes.
Life is more than a game. Whether you choose a stable job in a large factory or a challenging freelance job, the important thing is to find a "game" that you are truly immersed in and passionate about.
