living if one is to leave the rat race? How?

One way is to become self-employed and work for oneself — such as a freelance

(自由职业的) writer, web designer, consultant, etc. Another is to switch to a less demanding job, to a job where one is following one’s passion, or to a job that requires less hours.

Many tried and left the rat race. Some succeed and make more than before. Some

end up making less, but happier. Some failed and have to return back to the rat race. Upon searching through the Internet and books, one will find many who have found ways to make a living without the rat race. However, this does not give an accurate percentage of those who

succeeded versus those who failed. It is typically those who made it

that are the ones in the news and media.
