What could be a problem commonly faced in a story?

It might be a conflict between the main characters. Maybe they have different goals or values that cause tension.

It might be the difficulty in getting recognition on the international stage. HK science - fiction works had to compete with well - established science - fiction from countries like the US and the UK. This lack of international recognition made it hard to attract more resources and talent to the HK science - fiction scene at the start.

A 'problem full story' could be about a complex issue. For example, it might be a story about a business facing multiple challenges like financial problems, competition, and internal management issues all at once. The story would detail how these problems emerged, interacted with each other, and affected the overall situation of the business.

The short story might revolve around a group of chess enthusiasts who are challenged with a seemingly unsolvable chess problem. They each bring their own unique approach and knowledge to the table, leading to a series of interesting discussions and attempts at solving it, which in turn reveals a lot about their characters and relationships.

It could be about a day full of solving various math problems. Maybe it starts with a simple arithmetic problem in the morning, like 2 + 3, and then progresses to more complex ones such as quadratic equations during the day. It might also include stories of students struggling or having epiphanies while dealing with math problems.

Perhaps it's a story where the family has a square - shaped garden and there are issues in it. For example, some family members want to plant flowers, others want to grow vegetables, but the square shape limits how they can divide the area. Also, it could be about a family feud over who gets to take care of the square garden.

It could be about friendship problems. For example, two friends had an argument over a toy. The solution was that they decided to take turns using the toy. Simple as that.

One could be about a person struggling to find a job in a tough economy. They face rejections and self-doubt but eventually overcome it through perseverance and new skills.

One possible theme could be struggle. Since the man has a problem, he must be struggling to overcome it or deal with it in some way.

The theme of perseverance could also be present. Despite the problem, the man may keep trying to find a solution. He doesn't give up easily, which shows his perseverance. This could be especially true if the problem is a difficult one, like a long - standing illness or a complex work - related issue.
