The “ant tribe (蚁族)” are those who were born in the 1980s and now live in the underdeveloped places of big cities. Most of them come from the countryside, and they are mostly young graduates who have finished their high education in the past few years. They often change their jobs and their average salary is below 2,000 yuan. They are called ‘ant tribe’ because they have the same characters as ‘ants’: living together, clever, hardworking but unknown and low-paid.

Deng Kun is a member of the ‘anti tribe’. When he was in college studying math, he imagined himself working for a company like IBM. Instead, he has spent his time after graduation in a dark and small room he shares with a friend in outside parts of Beijing, playing video games or trying to wait for a job as a salesman.

Zhang Haijian studies physics, but he is now working as a waiter, making only 1,500 yuan a month. “My parents would never say anything about my money,” he said. “But I sometimes talk with my friends about whether it has been worth it – we worked so hard in college and now I get money less than some of my classmates who did not finish middle school.”

Most members of the ‘ant tribe’ are about twenty. They don’t want to go back; they prefer a single bed in Beijing to a house in their hometown. They are looking forward to bright future. We wish their dream would come true.

       When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.
After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels(地道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.
On the fifth day a tragedy(悲剧)happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.
Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.
Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired(钦佩)for their hard work.
But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity(逆境)is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.
Giving up, I say, is not a good choice.
