Would you like to ask Shanghainese to talk about their impressions of Beijingers?

Beijing in the eyes of a Shanghai girl

In my childhood memory, Beijing represents mystery and sacredness. If we want to describe the city of China by color, we can use the word "golden" without hesitation. It should be said that almost none of the large and medium-sized cities in China can be depicted clearly in a certain color like Beijing. This is one of the unique signs of Beijing. Living in the bustling Shanghai, I have a yearning for the capital of my motherland. Beijing is not only the capital and political and cultural center of China, but also the Great Wall, the beacon tower and the Forbidden City, one of the wonders of the world. It can be said that as a China person, it is a great pity not to go to the capital.

In the summer vacation of my junior year, I went to Beijing to play once and realized my childhood dream.

As a foreigner, I naturally have some sensitive intuition about a strange city (especially the capital) and will inadvertently compare Beijing with the city where I live-Shanghai.

Perhaps because of their different development backgrounds, Beijing has a unique political and cultural background, so you will feel the strong political atmosphere here. People here talk about state affairs, which can be seen from watching News Network at 7 o'clock every night. In Shanghai, which is a little far from politics and shoulders the mission of developing economy, people here pay more attention to the development of economy and finance, which can be reflected from the crowded scene in the stock market.

Followed by urban architecture and overall feeling. As the capital of Ming and Qing Dynasties, Beijing has many ancient buildings, which gives people a sense of tranquility, serenity and solemnity. And if you have been to Shanghai and Pudong, you will strongly feel the bustling atmosphere here, the pulse of the city jumping, and the eager performance of young people seeking development here. Beijing is majestic and Shanghai is elegant.

Judging from the clothes of people in the two places, Beijingers dress more casually. From an alternative point of view, young people's clothes are very individual and belong to hippies. In Shanghai, we see more men wearing suits and ties, and working girls wearing professional suits or fashionable clothes. In a sense, there are not many different kinds of costumes, and even if there are, there are not many that can show their personality, which should belong to the category of yuppies. That kind of feeling is not very strong, but there is a feeling of elegance and leisure.

Beijing has a long history. From its development track, you can feel the heart beating rhythmically and regularly, giving you a sense of stability. Although the development history of Shanghai is not long, we can trace back to Shanghai's footprint from Zhang Ailing's novels and Chen's Romantic Love in Shanghai. Along this footprint, you can feel what Shanghai has in every era.

Strong sense of the times. So, I like Shanghai, and I also like Beijing.
