Nowadays, young people will regard first-tier cities as their first choice to work hard and realize their dreams after graduation. However, everything has two sides. While enjoying many opportunities, it also faces high competition, high pressure, and high consumption. If we say that there is such a city in China where survival is even more difficult than in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, where would you think of it?
This city is our Hong Kong in China. Hong Kong is one of the most prosperous international metropolises and is our special administrative region. In the minds of most people, Hong Kong is a "shopping capital" and a "gourmet destination" with rich tourism resources. Hong Kong's prosperity has become the envy and yearning of countless people.
But after I came here, I realized that the real life of ordinary people in Hong Kong is actually more difficult than that of Beidiao! Why do you say that?
When I came to Hong Kong, I found that the prices in Hong Kong are really staggering. Just taking the subway costs more than 20 yuan, and eating street food costs 50 Hong Kong dollars. Although shopping is tax-free, some living expenses are really much higher than in mainland China.
For ordinary people, Hong Kong has a lot of money, so it is not easy to buy a house. Hong Kong's housing prices are much higher than most cities in mainland China. Therefore, renting a house has become a hurdle that ordinary people in Hong Kong must overcome. Renting a house in Hong Kong generally costs 400 Hong Kong dollars per square meter, and a place the size of a bathroom will cost several thousand dollars more. Many lower-class people in Hong Kong live in In a partition room that can only accommodate a single bed.
However, in Beijing, you can live in a small one-bedroom apartment with a decent layout for only 5,000 yuan. Compared with Beijing, life in Hong Kong is much more stressful than in Beijing. For the lower class people in Hong Kong, life in Hong Kong is not as happy as it seems. Although the traffic is busy and the lights are bright, behind the prosperity and the gorgeous appearance, there are still many people who are seeking a life at the bottom, just for one thing. A rice bowl.
In Hong Kong, although the per capita salary has reached US$53,432, the salary gap is very disparate and there is a problem of uneven distribution. There are many wealthy people, but there are still many poor people living at the bottom. In mainland China, a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan should be a good income, but in Hong Kong, a monthly salary of 12,000 Hong Kong dollars is only a lower-middle level.
Faced with such high prices in Hong Kong, indeed, these wages are obviously not enough. Relevant information shows that a person in Hong Kong can only feel happy with a monthly salary of 128,000 yuan! This surprised us all! Of course, it is undeniable that Hong Kong is full of charm, attracting us.
If it were you, would you like to travel to Hong Kong?
