In this era, everyone's natural lifespan has extended by a lot. Ma Lin's parents are now in their sixties, yet their physical condition is almost the same as when they were just forty. Over a decade, not only have they not aged, but they have become younger and healthier.
The world is developing especially quickly, yet the pace of life seems to have slowed down somewhat.
Ma Lin started to realize that he had made serious mistakes in the past, and now correcting those mistakes would come at a considerable cost. Therefore, despite his hard work, the good days were still just out of reach.
When it comes to social conduct, one must never have a problem with their character, otherwise, they will find themselves in a predicament, feeling that life is extremely difficult, while also causing a lot of trouble for others.
Anyway, making mistakes is easy, but correcting them is quite difficult.
