It sounds unimaginable. No wonder a technology car driver (motorcycle) can bring in an average revenue of 4.4 million VND/day. Some people exaggeratedly commented that, to have that revenue, the driver had to run 365 days without stopping, traveling hundreds of kilometers a day to deliver goods
The technology car company also spoke up that the figure of more than 1.6 billion VND shows the total revenue generated by driver partners on the platform, not actual income received. This revenue is accumulated from many services that partners participate in on the application, including passenger transportation, food delivery and delivery. The data reflects the level of operation and the ability to exploit multiple services of the partner throughout 2025.
From the story of a technology driver's revenue, suddenly remember the blockbuster Chinese drama that became famous on the Netflix platform in early 2025. The film is called Opposite the World - English title Upstream - about Cao Chi Luy, an old programmer who has been fired after more than many years of dedication to a technology company. He is the breadwinner of the family, needing to earn money to support his wife and young children, along with his elderly parents and pay house installments. The difficulties piled up when he could not find a job due to his old age and he had no other choice but to run as a shipper.
And from a Programmer, now he has to struggle to lower his ego to make money from the shipper job. He had to make efforts to be able to climb the rankings to compete in the technology system created by people like him.
It is not clear whether the family background of the guy with a revenue of 1.6 billion VND is like Cao Chi Luy or not, but they certainly have something in common: that is showing us the positive value of labor. Labor is not only a job to make a living but also a factor that helps the main character overcome challenges in life. The film emphasizes that honest labor is the path to building a stable life and finding hope again, no matter how harsh the circumstances are.
The shipper profession - in the minds of many people, is not an attractive profession, they only choose this profession when there are no other options. The film Gia dinh dong currently aired on VTV3 also mentioned this issue when the main character lost his job and also chose the shipper profession.
However, all jobs are honest, there are no bad jobs. In films or real life, the message is still: Rebuilding your life through honest work is not easy, but it is the only way to find joy, hope and new opportunities. At the same time, choose to look at life positively, despite suffering, thereby finding the path to happiness and success.
