Why do rural people in China like to settle in cities?

Generally speaking, housing prices in small cities and counties are not cheap. Why is the house price so high that everyone goes to settle down and buy a house?

(1) Educational immigrants

The educational resources in cities are much better than those in rural areas. When I was studying, the gap was not so big, but the more developed towns and villages, the higher the enrollment rate. Many of our top 50 high schools are actually from No.1 Middle School and No.4 Middle School. This school is the best junior high school in our county and the alma mater of Teacher Liu. Students in rural middle schools are generally poor in English, but students in county middle schools are very good, and the gap in this subject can be widened.

With the development of economy, there are more and more rich people in towns and villages, and more and more people buy houses in county towns for their children's education. This group just needs to buy a house, accounting for a large proportion.

(2) get married

Now many rural boys get married, and the woman wants a house, but she won't get married without buying a house. In addition, it is difficult to marry a daughter-in-law now, and many people buy houses and get married in the county. But there have been jokes about it. I have a distant cousin who bought a house in the county and is going to get married. After living for less than a year, he returned to his hometown in the countryside. In the county, the property fees and utilities are higher than those in their hometown, and the couple have no formal jobs and can't afford to go home. However, this has not changed the determination of this group to buy a house in the county.

(3) the general trend of entering the city

This is inevitable and irreversible.

The reason why housing prices in China have risen so sharply lies in the rapid economic development and urbanization. Economic growth will drive up urban housing prices, and all parts of the world are no exception.

Every year when I go back to my hometown for the New Year, I find that many people around me have left the countryside to settle in the city. One of my high school classmates, whose family used to be from the county seat, moved to Qingdao and returned to the county seat for the New Year.
