From the perspective of ordinary people, it is as follows:

A large city with a large population:

As the capital and second largest city in China, Beijing is 160 kilometers from east to west. It is 176 kilometers long from north to south and has a permanent population of more than 20 million, which is equivalent to the population of Gansu Province. So you will feel that everywhere in Beijing is popular, and you have to queue up for everything; it is normal to have a commuting distance of 2 to 30 kilometers, and this distance often spans cities and counties in places. How do you feel about space and distance in Beijing? Will become numb.

Second, there are many opportunities and competition

Beijing has many Fortune 500 companies and various high-tech and innovative companies. It has many job opportunities, but it is also rich in talents. On your way to and from get off work, countless graduates from Tsinghua University, Peking University and other universities take the subway with you; in the workplace, you will feel that there are people outside of you and there is a world outside of you. The employment environment is relatively fair.

3. High expenses and high costs

The cost of housing and living in Beijing is high, and the pressure to support a family is still very high. Many people and their families are crowded into old and small houses of tens of square meters. Among them, happiness is lower.

Four bitter cold places and poor environment

Beijing belongs to the marginal zone of temperate monsoon climate in northern my country. It is generally a relatively bitter and cold place. In winter, the wind and sand are strong, and the environment is relatively desolate and dry. It is not as good as the southern region. The green trees are lush, warm and humid. After 8 o'clock in the evening in winter, there are few pedestrians on the road, and it is not as prosperous as the nightlife in the south in winter.

I am not an “indigenous person” from Beijing. But I have also lived in Beijing for a long time. To put it more clearly, I came to live in Beijing after retirement. Our "main job" is to do housework and take care of the children. You can also call us "Old Beipiao". The four accompanying photos are "Small Silhouettes of Beijing" I took. I hope readers will like them. < /p>

So, I am not a householder, I don’t pay my own money, I just spend my children’s money. I don’t feel how high the prices are in Beijing;

So, when I retire, It's like being completely unemployed. I don’t want to be employed anymore and I don’t feel the competition from Beijing.

What I feel is that the culture is good. There are public museums, private museums, Confucian temples, Taimiao temples, and temples for emperors of the past dynasties.

What I feel is that good education requires people and teachers from the North and Qing Dynasties. There are particularly good primary and secondary schools. All children are participating in various off-campus training classes.

What I feel is that the scenery is good, including the Forbidden City and Beihai Summer Palace. There are all kinds of famous and not-so-famous parks, big and small, and you’ll never run out of them all.

What I feel is that the food is good. You can encounter the eight major cuisines in the country and all kinds of famous food on the streets of Beijing. Even snacks, once you try them, you can’t finish them.

What I feel is that safety is good. You can go out at any time, even in the middle of the night, and there is no safety problem.

What I feel is that the transportation is good, the subway extends in all directions, the bus is seamlessly accessible, the fare is cheap, and the transportation cost is low when going out, so I don’t have to worry about it.

What I feel is that the relationship is good, most of the neighbors know each other, and there are more contacts, especially among the children, and even classmates in kindergarten often congratulate each other on birthdays.

What I feel is that prevention and control are good. After the "Xinfadi Epidemic" appeared again in Beijing, zoning prevention and control was implemented, and precise prevention and control was implemented in one step. When it is said to be "cleared", it is really when it is "cleared". The epidemic, which is more elusive than volcanoes and earthquakes, is under control. It's amazing!

So, the conclusion I came to in Beijing is: Good morning, Beijing! Hello Beijing! You are truly "one good and one hundred good"!

I don’t know how native Beijingers live, but the Beipiao people know it all.

I live on the edge of the South Sixth Ring Road, and the high rent is oppressive. The loneliness after get off work also erodes people's hearts little by little. The prosperity of Beijing forms a sharp contrast with the desolation inside. My inner inferiority complex and low income made me afraid to participate in social activities.

Living in Beijing is very insecure, and my heart is always wandering.

Would anyone really want to stay in a company that always puts its employees at a disadvantage?

The purpose of working is to make money. Wherever there is money to be made, there will be people there. How much or how little you earn is another question.

If the boss promises original shares or dividends at the end of the year, some people will still be willing to do it.

People living in Beijing, if they originally lived in Beijing, first of all, in addition to high income, if they can meet the living conditions in Beijing, they can generally get by, but if they are at the bottom, it will be difficult. Secondly, if you work hard and stay in Beijing, it’s okay not to buy a house. Buying another house is not easy even if you have a high income. But if you have a lower income... it will be even more difficult! I can only work in Beijing and settle in other cities with low consumption. All in all...Beijing’s consumption is high, but the low income is not enough.

What is it like to live in Beijing? Let’s talk about your feelings.

1 When I first came to Beijing, the first thing I realized was not its busy traffic, various cultural relics and various commercial streets, but its fast pace. Many people feel this way. Walking on the road, everyone is hurrying along with their heads down, either going to work or doing business. No matter how early you take the subway or bus in the morning, there will always be someone earlier than you. After working overtime at night, there were still many people on the subway bus. The pace of life in Beijing is very fast. To be precise, the pace of work is very fast. I used to check the footprints of people infected with COVID-19 in winter. The footprints in Chengdu were going to shopping malls, teahouses, and mahjong parlors. The footprints in Beijing were going to training after work and then driving Didi. The trajectories of life were completely different. Therefore, many people feel uncomfortable and are always in a state of tension. There are very few people communicating with each other on the subway because they are all quite tired. There are many people closing their eyes and concentrating on the subway. I am busy at work and have to deal with family matters when I get home. Weekends are also busy and they have to take their children to various cram schools. The main consumers of McDonald’s and KFC on weekends are parents and children, because after eating, they have to rush to another cram school. Or there are still many people working overtime on weekends to complete the task. This is probably a basic portrayal of life in Beijing.

On the other hand, it also reflects that Beijing pays more attention to your work actuality and does not care about your social relationships. It is relatively fair. After all, work performance is determined by intellectual capital. The job requires you to make real things, such as designing circuit boards, programming, structures, etc.

2 In addition to the fast pace of life in Beijing, there is actually not much time left. It is only during the holidays, but people from all over the country will flock to Beijing during the holidays. A friend of mine planned to go to the Summer Palace during the Qingming Festival. He spent 5 hours on the way back and forth. After going there, he searched for a parking space for a long time and even encountered someone arguing over the parking space, so he drove back. I once had a friend who drove up to the Fourth Ring Road on May Day and was stuck in a traffic jam. He was afraid that he would not be able to get out, so he drove for more than an hour to the next intersection and returned home. Living in Beijing, there are many places that you can go to during holidays, but there may be very few places that you can go to. Therefore, many people choose to travel to other places, and there are also many people outside. [face covering]

3 There are indeed many places to visit in Beijing, such as the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Botanical Garden Xiangshan, the Ming Tombs, the Badaling Great Wall, the Old Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, the Wildlife Park, Nanhaizi Park, Black Dragon Pond, and Taoyuan. Fairy Valley, Yanqi Lake, Miyun Reservoir, Shili Gallery, Shidu, etc. If you choose a time when there are few people and take your children, it is still a good choice.

4 Beijing’s cultural development is relatively good. Taxi drivers will not lie to you, charge you more or take long routes, which is not the case in many other cities. If you ask them for directions, they will give you serious guidance. In other cities, they will choose to ignore you and they will sue you only after you buy something. If they accidentally bump into you while walking on the street, they will say sorry. You help them and they say thank you. On subway escalators, people will automatically leave the left lane. When waiting for the subway, people will consciously line up on both sides. When waiting for the bus, they will automatically line up at the bus location.

5 Beijing’s urban construction is standardized, the urban environment is clean, people no longer throw things away casually, and the roads and both sides are clean and tidy. Most of the buildings in Beijing are very distinctive, both classical and modern, with distinctive styles.

6 Beijing has a distinctive climate throughout the year. It is hotter in the summer and colder in the winter.

But the heat in summer is not as hot as the heat in the south. Wuhan, Suzhou, Shanghai and Chengdu in the south are as hot as a sauna without any cool breeze. In Beijing, at least there are wisps of cool breeze at night, which is very comfortable. There will be a few snowfalls in the winter, which you won’t see in the south.

7 After 14-15 years of smog, Beijing’s weather has had more than 200 days of excellent air quality index throughout the year for several consecutive years, reaching 276 days in 2020. Air quality has been significantly improved.

8 Beijing is located in the south of Inner Mongolia. Due to the afforestation in the north, a large amount of Artemisia annua has been planted, causing most people to have nose discomfort and even allergic rhinitis. Most people have begun to take anti-allergic drugs and wear masks. Protects nose from irritation.

9 The weather in Beijing is still dry. Although it is not in the northernmost part of China, compared with the Central Plains and the south, the weather has been dry for a long time, with a humidity of only about 30%. This is why southerners come to Beijing. A place to adapt. Causes nose discomfort and bleeding. Many homes have humidifiers on hand, and there are small humidifiers in cars.

10 The various agencies in Beijing are very efficient in handling matters. For example, if you need to transfer your household registration, apply for a new ID card, or apply for a passport or visa, it is all very fast. Beijing pays more attention to efficiency and is not as demanding as some cities.

11 Beijing’s medical level is second to none in the country. Once, a friend's child was born with esophageal stenosis. He went to many local hospitals and was afraid to undergo surgery. However, at Beijing Children's Hospital, it was a minimally invasive surgery, but the queue was delayed until half a year later. The famous hospitals are not listed here one by one. Lao Qiao felt that it was sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, but there was no word "comfortable".

Living in Beijing, if you are a Beijinger, it will be very comfortable, but if you are a "Beijing drifter", it will be too difficult.

Let’s talk about the sadness of Beidiao today!

1. High rent

There is a popular saying in Beipiao, "You use your own sweat to support others' houses. After all the sweat is gone, the house still belongs to others." This is the tragedy of renting a house, but there is nothing we can do about it. We all come to Beijing with dreams, so we can only work hard.

In addition to the high monthly rent, renting a house in Beijing requires a deposit of one and three, plus one month's agency fee, which is a one-time payment of five months. Now the subway next to the 5th Ring Road The closer ones cost 4,000 a month, and 20,000 at a time. Oh my god, do you think you are under any pressure? You have to save money every month, just because you are afraid that the landlord will call...

2. Painful transportation

1. Crowded buses

I have to say here that Beijing buses are really convenient. There are dedicated bus lanes during morning and evening peak hours. But squeezing into a bus requires skills, or simply being thick-skinned. Anyway, squeezing into a bus every day is a battle.

2. Crowd the subway

The subway is the most popular in Beijing, and the travel time is guaranteed, but you live far away and the cost is about 13 yuan per trip, but everyone comes to take the subway. Generally, It takes an hour to queue up, and the most important thing is that you can squeeze in and form a "photo" (that is, people are next to each other, the mouth is the hair of the person in front, and the back is the chest of the person behind).

3. Self-driving

Self-driving to work is more comfortable and you don’t have to stand in a crowded crowd, but the driving time is not guaranteed and the walking time is too long. I have to arrive more than two hours early and have to stay in the garage for an hour when I get to work. If you don't get up early, you'll have to pay a fine. Traffic jams make you doubt your life. Friends often tell a story, "I just answered the phone, chatted for an hour, and found that I was still at the Fifth Ring Road. It's not that the Fifth Ring Road is too big, but that I can't leave due to the traffic jam." It's too difficult. ...... 3. There will never be enough overtime classes

In my dream, I always think about having endless money to spend, but in reality there will always be endless overtime classes.

Everyone is happy to work overtime in other cities, after all, they can make extra money. But working overtime in Beijing is a bit painful, because overtime for one or two hours requires 4 hours of work. It takes 8 hours to work every day, but it actually takes 15 hours. How can you still have the energy to work overtime! Sometimes I have to stay up late when I get home, and the vicious cycle for a long time is really too much.

Friends often joke that people who work in Beijing lose their hair early, turn gray early, and collapse early...

Conclusion

Countless people flock to this rapidly rotating city every day, bringing with them their grand plans and dreams.

Countless people leave this indifferent city frustrated every day, leaving behind their tears and stories.

I would like to pay tribute to every friend of Beidiao, thank you for your efforts in urban construction, and wish your dreams come true.

Everyone is welcome to talk about your life as a drifter in Beijing?

I think living in Beijing is quite good. I like this city very much, a vibrant city where everyone can find their own direction in life.

After I graduated, I came to Beijing to develop my career because my sister had settled down in Beijing and had a relative to rely on in a foreign country. At that time, my husband and I took 300,000 yuan and opened a restaurant with an upstairs and downstairs area of ??200 square meters with a classmate of his who had returned from Germany. Due to various reasons, the restaurant was transferred after three years of operation. It made money but not much. The two of us didn't have much left. Now that I think about it, I might as well have used that money to invest in two houses. There are two houses. What it feels like to have a house in your hands. After the transfer, I started looking for a job, which paid several thousand yuan a month. I hadn’t worked for many years. I felt very good and made a lot of friends. My days gradually became richer. I had dinners with colleagues, went out, went shopping and drank tea. climb mountains. My husband is still doing business. He is from the south and he just doesn’t want to work.

Ten years have passed and I have a car. I bought a two-bedroom apartment in the outer suburbs to live in. It has been renovated and I have invested in a small house within my ability. I am still working in this company and am already an old employee. I have paid vacations and seniority pay. I plan to stay there until I retire and not change jobs. My husband closed his business during the epidemic and returned to his hometown to take care of the elderly. He has not yet come back. He currently has no income and all his expenses were saved before. He will be back next month. He will first find a job and have income to make a transition before making any other plans. Our living standard in Beijing is average, and the loan will be paid off in one and a half years, so it will be a little easier.

So, Beijing is a city full of job opportunities, it all depends on how you go about it. Some people are not afraid of working hard and working hard for their dreams. Some people look for jobs every day, don't go to work every day, and have various dislikes for the company. Such people probably have no future. There is a saying: What you give is directly proportional to what you get. If you don’t pay, there will be no gain. The pace of struggle is always on the road, not at home.

Beijing is the capital, the core of China’s politics, economy, culture, science and technology, and the gathering place of wealth.

This is the headquarters where all walks of life gather, elite talents from all walks of life, and wealthy bosses from all walks of life.

If you are good enough, go to Beijing. There is enough room for you to develop and grow.

If you are not good enough, you should not stay in Beijing! Don't complain that there are many people here, don't complain that it's crowded here, don't complain that it's hard to make money there...

There are enough buildings and mansions there, and there are wide enough streets and courtyards for you to run around. Bluebird, defending horse, there are enough people there to say "Is 100 million considered rich?"

...

The question is, do you weigh whether it is suitable to stay there? ? There is no need to say whether life there is good or not...

I am specially invited to answer this question that I am qualified to answer! A native of Peking, a native of Beijing!

Beijing is the political center and cultural center of the country, and it is also a sacred place that the people of the motherland yearn for. I am proud, I am proud!

Beijing has institutions of higher learning and the most authoritative hospitals! Headquarters with Internet! How many talented young people are struggling to realize their dreams here!

Beijing people have a tolerant attitude! pattern! I think Beijingers care about policies! Be generous!

I feel very good living in Beijing! Proud and happy!

As a Beijing native, I feel that my hometown is getting more and more crowded. The whole city is always like a big construction site, with endless construction and demolition. There are so many people that I can’t go out during holidays. Wangfujing in Xidan , Qianmen, Dongdan has long lost its Beijing accent and Beijing accent. In addition to being crowded, it is a mess. Children will never get a place in kindergarten. Public kindergartens are basically open to civil servants. It has become troublesome for children to go to school. Not only do they need a household registration, they also need real estate. Children Graduates of high-quality state-owned enterprises basically have no share of Beijingers. In addition to the nepotism of the seven aunts and eight aunts from other provinces, there are many Beijingers who have been squeezed out by traveling across the ocean to work as foreign workers. From top to bottom How can any manager be a native Beijinger? It’s hard for Beijingers to breathe when they are squeezed out. It’s not easy for Beijingers to drift north, and it’s not easy for Beijingers either! Apart from the Forbidden City, Beijing is completely different now!
