People in Haining and Tongxiang don't want to be called Jiaxing people. First of all, Jiaxing is not well known. No matter the city size or the economic level, Jiaxing is still backward in the whole country. So, although you go out, of course, some people don't know Tongxiang, but you can tell him Wuzhen and Mao Dun, and some people don't know Haining, you can tell him Qian Jiangchao, Leather City, or Xu Zhimo and Jin Yong. If the other party doesn't know this, it's useless to say Jiaxing, and he won't know. You should simply say that it is between Hangzhou and Shanghai.
Secondly, people in Haining and Tongxiang really lack a sense of identity with Jiaxing. What is the reason? Weak city and strong county, Jiaxing's overall economic strength is too weak. Tongxiang's sweater chemical fiber industry, Haining's standard parts of leather, warp knitting and sea salt, Pinghu's clothing industry and Jiashan's wood industry all have great influence in the whole country, but Jiaxing's level is the opposite. Except for a few well-known enterprises such as Minfeng special paper and Hankook tire, there is no industry with a certain climate.
In today's society, we talk about economic strength and talk about heroes with GDP. Jiaxing cannot be a hero. Who agrees with you?
Moreover, being a "big Jiaxing" is just like being a big brother in the Jianghu. You must have real skills and help take care of your younger brother. Yueqing is strong and Wenzhou is stronger, so Yueqing is willing to call itself a Wenzhou native. For Wenzhou, with the upgrading of its own industry, many enterprises and funds have settled in the following counties and cities, which has promoted the economic development of the following counties and cities, and the following counties and cities have also convinced themselves to be "Wenzhou's big brother". On the other hand, the economic level of Jiaxing is comparable to that of the following counties and cities. When attracting investment, we will only compete with the following counties and cities for enterprises and funds, and even dig corners of counties and cities. For example, Tiantong Electronics is a local enterprise in Haining, but one of its factories was built in the development zone of Jiaxing for some reason. Being a big brother has no ability outside, but only uses his brain to dig out the pot in his little brother's bag. Do you think I will be obedient to this big brother? Haining does not belong to Hangzhou, but it borders Hangzhou, and the enterprises from Hangzhou moved here, which promoted the development of Haining's western films. Jiashan does not belong to Shanghai, but it borders on Shanghai, and the restaurant and hotel industry is developed. But close to Jiaxing, we have to worry about being robbed of investment and enterprises by Jiaxing. After all, Jiaxing is superior and the city is larger. Jiaxing can't be the big brother of the following counties and cities, but the tough opponent of the counties and cities.
The specific geographical location also influenced Jiaxing to be the big brother. Shanghai in the east is too close to Hangzhou in the west. Once you step on the accelerator, the time to Shanghai and Hangzhou will not be much longer than Jiaxing, and the market prosperity of Shanghai and Hangzhou is not comparable to Jiaxing. Therefore, Jiaxing's culture, education, medical care and commerce are not developed to the level of Jiaxing, which is limited to Nanhu District and Xiuzhou District. Chiayi Middle School is not from Jiaxing, but its teachers and students mainly come from Jiaxing, so the teaching quality is not necessarily better than that of Qualcomm and Gaohai. Hospitals, doctors and patients in Jiaxing are also limited to Jiaxing city. Doctors in the following counties and cities are all famous. He is glad to be transferred to Hangzhou, not Jiaxing. Patients in the following counties and cities will not come to Jiaxing for treatment, and their condition is serious. He will only go to Hangzhou Second Hospital, Run Run Shaw and Ruijin in Shanghai. Two years ago, Jiaxing Dimeiming Furniture wanted to expand the market and engage in group buying in surrounding counties and cities, but it also stopped because Jiaxing's furniture market also had no advantage. Jiaxing clothing department store digital, no advantage. For example, if you buy a pair of new Nike shoes, the following counties and cities can only get 10% discount and 8.5% discount. Jiaxing only has this discount rate, but it is normal for you to get a 30% discount when you are engaged in activities in Hangzhou.
Jinhua Quzhou's economy is not stronger than Jiaxing's, but it is a big city in the surrounding area, and it is worth shopping or even buying a house. What about Jiaxing? What are the advantages compared with the surrounding areas? The house price in Haining is higher than that in Jiaxing, but did Haining people buy a house in Jiaxing?
The income of people in Jiaxing is relatively low, and the income of government agencies and institutions is obviously lower than that of the south bank of Qiantang River. Isn't the economic capacity of counties and cities such as Tongxiang Haining inferior to theirs? Or because of the intervention of Jiaxing city, so as not to lose face at Jiaxing level?
Someone said, "If we emphasize' Jiaxing' when we mention our hometown, won't Jiaxing's popularity increase?"
