Newspaper deliverer

Mr. Yang was as a newspaper deliverer once in his life. In fact, he went to study in Tokyo, Japan after having finished his high school in Taiwan. It was about 1930, when Taiwan was a part of colonies under Japanese govenment. Mr. Yang, who came to Tokyo, had nothing else but finding a trivial job in the daytime and planed to study at night.All his family property were mandated and ocuppied by Japanese government, though his parent still managed to send him to Japan at the last momonet of their wealth. Mr. Yang found a job to work as a newspaper deliverer. It was not a easy job that he got to get up quite early to send couples thousands of newspapers and he was asked to create at least fifteen customers a day. He was fired after twenty days of work because he couldn't reach the requirement and signed agreement. The newspaper company held his wages and also some quarantee money that he really had emptied his pocket. When he had come to this end of living in a foreign country, he received his even worse news from his mother. His beloved sister and brother all passed away sequentially. His mother also went on putting her life to an end, but mailed the letter. On the letter, she wrote, "Mother worships your success everyday. Under any circumstance, you ought to keep yourself aboard. Here in Taiwan seemed as hell and no outlet for what so ever. My only wish is that you have to proceed and work hard as you can in order to save people in our place. This is my last mail and take care of yourself." Mr. Yang couldn't do nothing, but keep his miniature life alive. He worked hard all the way to complete his study as his mother's will and returned back to his homeland. This is the story from Taiwanese Literature that I have just read and here I write down for my reflection.
