In the past two years, under the wave of "fleeing from the north", a group of retrograde people "flocking to the north" have been welcomed. I wonder what the two groups of people will read on each other's faces when they cross each other's paths. Is it to wish each other well, or to say each other stupid.
"There are still more than 20 million people left in this city, pretending to live. The truth is that there is no life in this city at all. There are only dreams for the few and jobs for the many."
But some say that living in Beijing, the "one deposit, three payments" may well be the last straw that kills the dream.
There are also a lot of young people who laugh at themselves and say that it's not the alarm clock that wakes them up every day, it's the rent. The only thing that determines which bed you lie in is not love, but the monthly salary.
Of course there are still many people who are y trapped in the Beijing cage, although the pressure of life and work is not proportional to the monthly salary, but after getting used to the similar intensity of the work, they will still enter a comfort zone, it is difficult to extricate themselves.
01 choice: whether to escape from the north
Two points a line squeeze subway has become the norm for most of the northern drift, this has a strong historical precipitation of the ancient city, bright and prosperous metropolis, seems to be another city. In addition to the high cost of living, completely decoupled.
On the other hand in order to live in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen megacities, it seems to be rushed and anxious, with the calm of the Nordic cities is difficult to compare, and even with the industrial and market economy backward southeast are also difficult to compare, for living in the big city, there is almost no happiness to speak of.
Starting with "fleeing from the north", the social correctness of the past few years has been to attack the first-tier cities:
The cost of living is too high and there is no sense of dignity;
The rents/prices are too expensive and there is no sense of security;
The people are too anxious and there is no sense of happiness;
But is this really the case? Is that really the case?
There is no denying that living in a big city like Beijing can be very anxiety-provoking, but let's be clear: is it better to be anxious because there are too many opportunities, or is it better to be anxious because there are no opportunities?
The answer is obvious, and I believe this is an important support for the retrograde crowd "flocking to the north".
Compared to the relatively comfortable environment of experiencing a static life, there are surprises everywhere in Beijing.
Instead of square buildings, there are artifacts of different shapes and sizes; instead of the same old cars on the road, there are square shells of Beijing off-roaders; there is more to life than what you see in front of you, and there are the dreams of the CBD and the struggles of the Haidian ......
Q&A 02: How to Discover The Other Side of Beijing
For most people, Beijing is a city where you work inside the Third Ring and live outside the Fifth Ring, with very little to do inside the Second Ring and nothing to do outside the Sixth Ring.
Inside the second ring road is the most historical part of Beijing, while outside the sixth ring road is the faraway place where Beijingers can relax. This is the picture that comes to mind, and it's also the image that has been formed since the North drifted away.
But how to get out of your comfort zone and discover the other side of the city is an unanswered question... go cycling? Or running? Or maybe a free ride?
Different ways of traveling will also bring different feelings. Riding and running are endurance challenges, while a freeride partner must be able to fulfill the dual function of congested roads in the city and incomplete roads in the mountains.
Unlike conventional cars, the Beijing Off-road BJ40 is square, and it is an outstanding "different walker" on any road in Beijing. Therefore, having the BJ40 as a companion to discover the other side of the city is not an optimal choice.
From the literal understanding, it can be seen that the BJ40 City Hunter Edition is biased towards urban travel, just like this busy Beijing is difficult to find time to cross-country at high frequency, although the tough guy temperament is charming, but with the city life fit to highlight the brand value in multiple dimensions.
I know a 60-year-old old man who drives a BJ40, and if translated in Beijing dialect, that's a typical old man who is out of his traditional family, not going to square dance, not taking care of his grandchildren, but driving an off-road vehicle, climbing over mountains and crossing rivers.
Deep in the prison of the workplace, I am very envious of this uncle's spontaneity. And when I spoke out of turn to call him an uncle, he seemed to hear the most desired identity positioning, not a grandpa not an old gun, but a very charming uncle.
"After all, it's only the good-looking and interesting ones that are called uncle, and the unattractive ones are called Uncle Li, Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhao, and that has nothing to do with uncle." This was followed by the uncle's cheerful laughter.
