Editor’s Note: Social competition pervades modern day society. To elicit the envy and admiration of peers, many buy famous brands with abandon, spending their monthly income well before the next paycheck has arrived. Some have even racked up serious credit card debt…. Though many such people find the whole process tiring and painful, none of them are capable of extricating themselves from this social rat race. Xiaoyun, a Christian, used to live an empty, agonized life because of her need to compete socially, but now she no longer blindly engages in such activities and has attained spiritual freedom. How did she do it? You’ll find the answer in Xiaoyun’s story of her experiences.
