Is Beijing and Shenzhen better than that place?

These are two typical cities, one is white-haired majestic, the other is young and energetic; One is located in the northern inland and the other is located on the south China sea coast; One is a senior official and the other is a rich man; One manages China's politics in a quadrangle, and the other leads the mainland's economy in a global perspective.

The most popular sentence: I didn't know how many officials there were until I got to Beijing, and I didn't know how much money there was until I got to Shenzhen. To sum up their characteristics, Beijing is the core of China officialdom and Shenzhen is the frontier of China market. Beijing is a city with profound traditional culture, and Shenzhen is a city with strong international atmosphere. Beijing is positioned as the political, economic and cultural center of the country. The political center is not controversial, and the cultural center deserves it. However, the economic center is a little reluctant. Shenzhen's positioning is economy, and its pillar industries are finance, foreign trade and logistics. The center is clear and the role is outstanding. In particular, the economic development model is basically to explore the mainland, and China's economic reform is basically to gradually radiate the mainland from Shenzhen to China.

Shenzhen has no heavy history. Founded in 1979, the qualification is only over 20 years. Beijing has a long history. Youyan, the capital of Yuan Dynasty more than two thousand years ago, has become an ancient capital with profound historical and cultural accumulation. So Shenzhen went into battle lightly and its development was not hindered. However, Beijing bears a heavy historical burden, and moving a place casually will lead to many criticisms from the cultural and archaeological circles. History is a strange thing. It is not only an inestimable wealth, but also a fetter to create the future. China's greatest boast is history, but it failed its ancestors in the past century. The United States has little history, but it has become the hegemon in today's world, and its comprehensive strength is unparalleled. Shenzhen and Beijing, like the United States and China, have different styles due to historical contrast.

Shenzhen is a typical market-oriented society, and Beijing is a typical officialdom society. People in Shenzhen talk about money all day and talk confidently. Beijingers are ashamed to talk about the blockade. They are all talking about state affairs, as if they are all members of * * *. People in Shenzhen are pragmatic and don't waste time on red tape. Beijing people are cautious, and metaphysical things occupy most of their energy. I remember one day in Shenzhen, I occasionally talked to someone about the concept of honor and disgrace, and he suddenly said: Is this the slogan put forward by Nanshan District? Because Baishizhou has a huge slogan "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces", which is signed by the Propaganda Department of Nanshan District Committee. I was shocked. Unexpectedly, this slogan has been vigorously promoted for half a year and has not yet been blown to Shenzhen. This is simply unimaginable in Beijing. The politics that Shenzhen people care about are mostly the Taiwan Strait issue, because the distance is close and it is closely related to their own interests.

Shenzhen is an immigrant city with few aborigines and no xenophobic ideas. It is a paradise for self-made gold diggers. Peacocks fly southeast, and graduate students like to walk all the time. Beijing is full of Beijing flavor, born at the root of the imperial city. Beijingers who speak pure Beijing dialect have a strong sense of superiority and take care of many policies, the most typical of which is the college entrance examination. Therefore, it is difficult for foreigners to come to Beijing to develop, and it seems that it is not easy to do business in Beijing without a certain background or super strength.

Shenzhen is short of talents. Although the only university, Shenda, claims to have the best hardware in the country, it is only a second-and third-rate university at best, which is far from the first-class, so it only recruits talents from all over the country with high salaries. Beijing is the most densely populated city in China, where the best universities, the strongest scientific research institutes, the top leaders of the Party, government and army, and the headquarters of major enterprises and institutions are located.

Writing this article is still a typical Beijinger's thought. After talking for a long time, it's all macro things, and it hasn't involved specific objects yet. In fact, the biggest difference between the two lies in the appearance of the city and the municipal government. When I entered Shenzhen, I was deeply impressed by its green, clean, bright and spacious streets and brand-new buildings on both sides. I wonder if the city was built yesterday. I asked two students who went to Shenzhen to play, what impressed him the most, and the result was the streets there, just like me. Shennan Avenue is the most beautiful road I have ever seen. It is the main road of Shenzhen, with two lanes and eight lanes. The green area is larger than the road area. The distance between the tall buildings on the roadside and the road is more than 50 meters, and most of them are beautiful vegetation. This is not like a road, but like a garden. Just take a picture on the roadside, and the effect is not bad. On the other hand, if you look at Beijing, the streets are crowded to death. There are few green belts on the streets, and there are traffic jams everywhere. The buildings on both sides are close to the streets, and even the parking places are very tense. Living in such a place is very helpless.

Convenient transportation is a major feature of Shenzhen. With such a wide street, the traffic is naturally smooth, although the traffic volume will not be smaller than that in Beijing. The buses there are the best in the country, almost all of them are new air-conditioned cars, with many flights and short intervals. It's convenient to go anywhere. I take the bus almost every day in Shenzhen, only once. There are basically seats on buses, and the bus speed is extremely fast, because the roads in Shenzhen are smooth and there are few traffic jams. I haven't seen it there once anyway. The subway in Shenzhen is also very beautiful, with automatic ticket checking. The two doors are absolutely safe, the station space is huge, and there will be no congestion. The subway in Shenzhen is not as crowded, crowded and orderly as in Beijing. I think the main reason is that the bus is so convenient. I don't think it is necessary to take the subway, because the subway is not much faster than the bus. After returning from Baishizhou to the railway station, my brother-in-law suggested taking the subway. I said, forget it, I have one more stop. Needless to say, the traffic in Beijing is very congested. Anyone who has been here will be impressed. Vehicles that are often stranded for several kilometers may not be as fast as riding a bike.

Architecture. Shenzhen is very new and Beijing is very old; The buildings in Shenzhen tend to develop to high places, and the central area of Beijing is mostly wide and low-rise; Shenzhen's buildings are unconventional and modern everywhere, while Beijing's buildings are antique, calm and orthodox, and a palace-style roof is often added on the roof for no reason, for fear that people will forget that this is the capital; Most landmark buildings in Shenzhen are related to economy and money, while those in Beijing are related to politics.

Travel. Except for the beach, most of the scenic spots in Shenzhen are man-made landscapes with huge scale, advanced technology and strong entertainment. Beijing is famous for its history and culture, and the crowds are mostly cultural monuments.

Crowd. The registered population in Shenzhen is about10.5 million, and the permanent population is more than10 million. The male-female ratio in the customs is 1: 10, with an average age of 27 years. These are statistics from last year, which are more reliable. Although there are many migrants in Beijing, they will not exceed the registered population. Just look at the age characteristics of the park. It can be said that Shenzhen is a place for young people to start businesses, with youthful vitality, fast pace and high efficiency everywhere; Beijing is a place for the aged. After accumulating wealth, knowledge and political capital in other places, I came to Beijing to settle down and live a comfortable life. There are many high officials, rich people and celebrities here, but how many people started here? Therefore, Shenzhen people dare to fight, dare to do and dare to rush, and most of them appear as pioneers of reform. Beijingers suffer from loss and gain, mostly political conservatives. In Beijing, you can often see a cattail leaf fan rocking in an alley, chatting in the mountains and playing mahjong. In Shenzhen, people seldom have time to meet in a hurry, so they are entertained.

Thought. The thinking of Shenzhen people is close to that of Hong Kong, and that of Hong Kong people is close to that of the West. Therefore, the thinking of Shenzhen people is very close to that of the West, which is a typical pragmatism. For example, the police officer I met on the train, although within the system, did not have the usual shelf and vulgarity of mainland officials, and was very comfortable to communicate with him. His idea refreshed me. He never talks about his son, and he never makes those formal demands. In other words, raising you is my burden. We will be better off without you. Whether you learn well or not is your own business. I will only support you until you graduate from college. Don't stay with us after graduation, and don't expect us to help you. We don't ask you to give us a pension and die. As a result, our two sons learned from each other better and had a good time since childhood. People in Shenzhen sublate traditional things very much. They only seek efficiency and effect, which is a market-oriented thinking mode of efficiency first and honesty first. Many enterprise managers in Shenzhen employ Hong Kong people. Although their wages are high, they are efficient, have a good style of work, behave themselves, and are practical to use. Unlike some mainland executives who may embezzle, accept bribes and misappropriate public funds, the risk factor is very high.

Order. When I got on the train at Shenzhen Railway Station, the crowd could line up, the supermarket checked out, and people consciously lined up. On the overpass, people kept on the right, and I was deeply shocked by the orderly order coming from the first good area.

Relationship. China is the country that likes to talk about relationships most, and all kinds of relationships are complicated, which not only unite people's hearts, but also hinder social development. The importance of relationships is unnecessary for China people. It can be said that the most practical, basic and important knowledge in China since ancient times is the study of relationships, and Beijing, as the place with the deepest accumulation of official culture, is undoubtedly the place with the densest network of relationships. Shenzhen is just the opposite. Because most of them are immigrants, people look down on relationships, which are far less important than mainland China. So doing things is relatively simple, and you don't need to spend too much energy on the world. People value rules, strength and interests. In Shenzhen, the implementation of laws, principles and rules and regulations is much easier than in the mainland. So people here live a relaxed life, because despite the great pressure of work, everything is distributed according to work transparently.

Shenzhen slogan: Time is money, efficiency is life. What is mentioned now is "benefiting Shenzhen". The most appropriate slogan in Beijing should be: stability first.

Public order. Shenzhen's public security is not ideal, and the lesson of bag theft is profound. Although I have always felt good before, I am not satisfied with the public's affirmation that there are no people in Shenzhen who have never lost anything. Maybe it's because there are too many floating people here, or maybe the gap between the rich and the poor here is too big. In short, behind the prosperity, people have to be vigilant. Beijing is relatively better. At the foot of the imperial city, no one dares to be too arrogant. Here, small things are big things, and high-pressure situation and high vigilance maintain the good order of the capital.

......

I stayed in Shenzhen for about ten days and had a cursory look. It's hard to say that I can grasp the true meaning and cover everything. Here are some impressive things, and compare them with the capital where I stayed for six years. You are happy to come.

Here, I don't want to mention the advantages of Beijing. Those things are familiar to everyone, so there is no need to say them. Compared with Shenzhen, Beijing should put down its airs and study hard.
