    Compared to Guangzhou and Dongguan, apart from cleaner streets, the cost of living is vastly different.

      Rent's crazy expensive? Nah, landlords are basically saints. Over in Qianhai, places bought for over 10 million RMB rent out for 9,000 a month. They'll make their money back in just a hundred years of rent!

        I'm not quite sure if you're being sarcastic.

          Small towns are where they really bleed you dry. Just ask any young person from a small town with no connections or resources whether they'd rather be in a big city or back home.

            In big cities, at least you have a chance to slave away and earn a wage. Small towns often lack industries, so even if you wanted to be exploited by capital, there's no opportunity.

              Shenzhen is already a great city for ordinary folks.

                In what ways is it particularly good?

                  Rural areas are where they really exploit you, leaving nothing behind.

                      Shenzhen is actually pretty good. I moved back to Liuzhou from Shenzhen, and don't even get me started on the colleagues—they have absolutely no sense of personal boundaries.

                        Back in my hometown, the main focus is on resting up and not staying up late. Here in Shenzhen, I'm incredibly anxious... I feel like I'm on the verge of a full-blown anxiety disorder.

                          When faced with posts like this, my standard advice is: live a virtuous life, chalk up losses to good karma, study fortune-telling diligently, and hope you're reborn as a rich kid in your next life.
