From SOE to Solopreneur: My Choice


The Moment I Left the SOE


In 2026, I finally made this decision.


I worked in a state-owned enterprise for 3 years, with a monthly salary of 200 yuan. The seemingly stable life made me increasingly anxious. I started asking myself: is this the life I want?


Why I Chose to Leave


  • 1. **No growth** - Same work every day, nothing new to learn
  • 2. **Too low income** - 200 yuan/month in Guangzhou is impossible to survive
  • 3. **No future** - This "stability" is actually the most unstable choice
  • 4. **Inner depression** - I started feeling meaningless

  • Solopreneur is My Answer


    After leaving the SOE, I decided to build a **Solopreneur**.


    My Three Cores

  • **Content Creation** - Record growth, share experience
  • **AI Tools** - Build automated workflows
  • **Trading** - Make a living from professional trading

  • Why Solopreneur


  • 1. **Low cost** - No office, no employees needed
  • 2. **High freedom** - Decide what to do, when to do it
  • 3. **Scalable** - One person can create big value

  • Written at the End


    If you're also working in a SOE, if you're also confused, I want to tell you: **You only have one life, go do what you want to do.**
