What kind of city is Beijing? Talk about your opinion. Anyone who lives or works in Beijing can talk about it.

The following is a passage I once wrote in my personal diary for LZ's reference.

A big city has both its shortcomings and its advantages. Beijing is dirty, but most inland cities are not much better; Gambling on the streets of Beijing, subway construction in other provincial capital cities still has a long way to go under the same circumstances; Beijing is expensive, but buying an iphone is not a big problem for you. Life in Beijing is very depressing, and the hukou and house can't be guaranteed, but Beijing has a chance. Beijing is the imperial capital, which can satisfy most of your vanity and enjoyment. If you don't care, you can always wander, enjoy today and stay tomorrow, or you can always rent a house downstairs to buy food. But considering the future, if there is no hukou, marriage will be a problem, and the next generation will bring themselves countless troubles, although I have never experienced it. Then why stay in Beijing? In fact, it is understandable to stay in Beijing in order to compete with myself and hope to prove my Excellence. The more difficult it is to integrate into this place, the more intense the competition between elites. Once you check in successfully, you will be successful. This is a comparative view of your life, thinking that you are better than people in other cities in the country, or that you have survived in such a harsh environment, then you are happier than most people. In fact, I just look at my life and don't compare with others. In fact, life is not good. The monthly salary is 10,000-most people don't think so much. Rent a single room without partition. The price is expected to be between 1500-2000, and the monthly meal consumption is 1000: this is 2500. The cost of living is almost five or six hundred. The remaining 7 thousand, plus the need to buy clothes and get together with friends, can save 5 thousand every month? 60 thousand a year? Three hundred thousand in five years? Laughing, it really can only make people shake their heads and sigh, and perhaps allow them to have hope. If the lover can just save so much, five years later, regardless of the favorable factors such as promotion and salary increase, they have 600,000 deposits and can buy an apartment with a down payment of 30% worth 2 million, which is almost 60 square meters according to the average price of the third and fourth ring roads. After buying a house, two major worries followed, namely marriage and hukou, and the title of house slave. In fact, it is not unbearable to think about it, and it is not particularly difficult to think about the happiness of life. Just, just why, why are you so tired?

Because when I came here with a misty dream, everyone was lazy. Even if I don't like it, even if I don't agree with it or always feel that something is wrong, as long as my life is ok and I don't touch my tolerance limit, I will go on step by step. I am also in such a chaotic crowd. I always thought that I could get ahead one day and realize my unclear dream.

When I was young, I always wanted to overthrow everything in the past, unwilling to return to the ordinary and inherent life, unwilling to settle down in this world, wanting to try a new life, wanting to challenge more opportunities, wanting to see more things I have never seen before, thinking further and deeper, and facing more temptations. The world in my eyes has become a hundred thousand times brighter than in the past, but I am slowly lost in this vast world, because I always feel that I am still young, and I still have a lot of world to struggle and regret. Therefore, Beijing is a place where dreams are pursued and broken, depending on how you live and enjoy them.
