An Entrepreneur's Story by Ha Jin

By begining the story with that statement helps create a theme to the story. When he didn't have money or a good stable job he was treated poorly and he couldn't get the girl he loved to even be interested in marrying him. When he became rich, the girls mother changed her mind and let her daughter to marry him. Now the people who use to treat him badly when he wasn't rich now talk to him. He knows that things changed around him but I don't think he changed because he got rich. I think the tone of the story is disapointed or flusterating because even though he thought thats what he really wanted, it turns out he is not as happy as he pictured it to be.
