INTRODUCE

Xu Zhiming is a receptionist at a billiard hall. He arrived in Shenzhen in May 2025. Currently, he is only doing a temporary job at the front desk of the billiard hall. Under the condition of ensuring an income, he looks for a higher-paying job in his spare time. In April, when he first arrived in Shenzhen, he rented a house in a village within the city for about 1,800 yuan a month, which was barely affordable. Before renting a house, he made much more thorough preparations. After reading a large amount of materials online, he avoided many major pitfalls in contract handling, site selection and other aspects. Finally, he rented a small room on the third floor in a relatively quiet area. But until July this year, the shop that was originally waiting for rent downstairs of him was rented out and transformed into a late-night snack restaurant. This also leads to the situation where, starting from around eleven or twelve at night, the originally quiet alley is gradually filled with noise. For Xu Zhiming, this had an exceptionally severe impact on his life. Because the people who come to this restaurant to eat at this time are all workers who have just got off work, they can't help but drink alcohol to drown their sorrows. Some can still control their emotions after getting drunk, but others won't. There are quite a few people who shout and curse after drinking. This also makes Xu Zhiming often unable to sleep at night and has to leave.
