Man abandons wife and children, lives under bridge for 10 years to pursue a vain dream: Winning the lottery to change his life

Life is okay but not peaceful

Vuong Thanh Chau was born into a poor family. His parents were illiterate and made a living by farming or working for others. They had high hopes for their five children, but their financial situation could only afford to send them to middle school, and Vuong Thanh Chau was one of them.

His family was poor, so Vuong Thanh Chau went to the city to work. Soon, with his own ability, he found a pretty good job in a factory.

But the factory work was very hard, Wang Chengzhou gradually got tired of this kind of life day after day, he could not accept his current fate. In 1991, Wang Chengzhou quit his job and went to Shanghai, looking for a way to change his life in a construction steel factory.

Sure enough, just three years later, Vuong Thanh Chau was promoted to manager and construction contractor, and his income increased.

Later, Vuong Thanh Chau got married and had a daughter. The family of three lived a very happy life. Although he had to get up early and come home late every day, the family was always harmonious and warm.

In 2004, while taking a nap at work, Vuong Thanh Chau dreamed of a set of numbers written on colored balls. Coincidentally, this set of numbers won the first prize in the lottery the next day. That moment was like an epiphany for this man, and he became interested in lottery tickets.

Having lost the chance to win the jackpot, Wang Chengzhou’s heart was deeply broken. He returned home, thinking only of numbers. He wanted that dream to reappear, to help him get rich quickly. But not everything he wanted could be achieved.

Since then, Vuong Thanh Chau seemed to have become a different person, talking about the lottery all day long.

Illusion under the bridge

Every day, Vuong Thanh Chau spent tens, even hundreds of yuan on lottery tickets. His wife felt that her husband wanted to win the lottery to the point of insanity, and this habit gradually caused the family's finances to decline. His wife tried to persuade him many times but to no avail.

She didn't want to continue hearing words like "get rich overnight" from Wang Chengzhou's mouth, so she filed for divorce, packed her bags, and left home with her daughter.

Since then, Vuong Thanh Chau stopped working and devoted all his time to the lottery. But soon, because he spent too much on lottery tickets, Vuong Thanh Chau's wallet gradually ran out of money.

Wang Chengzhou wanted to find a quiet place to study numbers, but he didn't have money to rent a house. So he moved under a bridge in the suburbs. There was no one around, it was very quiet, especially suitable for him to concentrate on finding the rules of lucky numbers. A simple shack, Wang Chengzhou's days of being immersed in the lottery continued.

To make ends meet, Vuong Thanh Chau found a job that paid daily, and at night he went under the bridge to study lottery numbers and drink alcohol. No one hired him, so he went to collect scrap metal to earn some money to buy lottery tickets.

Until now, Vuong Thanh Chau still firmly believes that sooner or later he will become rich thanks to these numbers.

He did a lot of research, applied many different principles, and wrote everything down in a notebook that he always kept with him. But the lottery is a matter of luck, and without research, one can decipher the secret behind it. Otherwise, there would be many people in this world who became billionaires thanks to lottery tickets.

It's not that Vuong Thanh Chau doesn't understand the truth, it's just that he has gone too far on this illusory path. A sweet dream at first made him separate himself from reality, leave his family, give up his job, and finally more than ten years of his life passed aimlessly.

In today’s society, everyone wants to be successful and rich. Some people have unrealistic fantasies that they can achieve their dreams by “getting rich overnight”.

This type of thinking is extremely risky because it can leave people with no way to turn back.
