The protagonist, Dick, was originally an orphaned, penniless street boy in New York, earning a living by shining shoes and living from day to day without any lofty ideals or ambitions, even with some bad habits. However, he was honest, kind, and always willing to help others, so his business was quite good, and his companions respected him. Later, encouraged by a friend, Dick resolved to become a respected and successful person in the future. He then determinedly gave up some of his bad habits, studied hard, worked diligently, and set himself grand goals and a plan for struggle. Heaven rewards the diligent, and he finally found a job that was enviable, changing his fate. How did all this happen? What twists and struggles did Dick's path to success go through?
