Revised: 

My dear friend, I have a terrible thing to tell you. I was fired by my boss yesterday. The reason being that I refused my boss’s demand to work overtime on bank/public holidays and weekend. It makes me very sad/I’m very upset by this. I worked very hard, and I put my passion into this job, but it turned out to be a very bad ending. The boss is always superior, and treats his/her employees like an obedient dog! If any employees do not listen to the boss, they will throw you away like a pile of garbage.
This is the reality of China’s corporate culture! Employees are driven to death by these unreasonable demands.  I do not know what job I want to look for/what I want to do next, and I feel alive and struggling. I’m really tired/exhausted, and right now I think death is the best relief.
