    I came to Shenzhen in 2019, single at the time. Now I've got a wife, kids, a house, and a car. Shenzhen is truly a fantastic place! The climate is great, services across all sectors are excellent, and government departments are incredibly efficient. This city is perfect for those without connections, money, or a network – if you work hard and head in the right direction, you can make your fortune relatively quickly.

      As someone who grew up in Shenzhen – a 'second-generation local' – I find the city too frenetic and don't want to stay. Even though my job and income are decent, I just don't feel a sense of belonging.

        A 'second-generation local,' eh? That reminds me of the saying: 'Some are born in Rome, while others don't even know how to spell it.'

          Shenzhen is even more of a pressure cooker than Beijing.

              I've lost my drive. When I first came to Shenzhen, in my first year, everything felt so new and exciting. Now, in my third year, all I feel is exhaustion from work.

                Looking back on these three years, what do you feel you've gained?

                  After 18 years, I finally left.

                      I'm about to graduate and start an internship. Planning to come to Shenzhen to work and do some exploring on the side.

                            If you hate Shenzhen, then what city do you like?

                              It's been ten years since I moved to Shenzhen from Hangzhou. I've bought a house and car, started a company, and opened a shop here. I'll most likely retire in this city.

                                Anyone who can put down roots and thrive in a place like Shenzhen is truly impressive 👍.
