What is so good about Shanghai? I understand the following aspects.
With a unique geographical location, the Huangpu River is a natural harbor. The water is deep and the current is not fast, and giant ships of 10,000 tons can berth. Both sides of the Pujiang River are also the cradle of Chinese industry. The old Jiangnan Shipyard is located on the riverside. There are famous old factories lined up in rows, and the industrial supplies produced are sold all over the country. The Yangtze River flows into the sea here, and Shanghai connects the river to the sea. As the leader, it radiates to the Yangtze River Delta in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui and has a great driving role. The Yangtze River Delta is the most developed place in the country.
2. Shanghai is the country’s financial center, shipping center, and trade center. It has a strategic position that is irreplaceable.
Three, Shanghai is rich in educational and medical resources, and its universities are second only to Beijing. Speaking of the best universities, Qingbei has restored diplomatic relations, two are in Beijing and two are in Shanghai. Hospitals include Xiehe 301 in Beijing and Ruijin Huashan in Shanghai. The GDP of other cities may be compared with Shanghai, but culture, education and medical care cannot be compared at all.
The soft power and soft environment in Shanghai are even better. When you go to government agencies to do things, you rarely encounter pushback and quarrels. You don’t have to go through the back door to find connections. What needs to be done is done immediately. There is no need to find relationships that should not be done. Young people don’t have to fight to find a job and start a business. Of course it's better to have a father to fight. But it is much better than many cities, especially northern cities.
Another point to determine whether a place is good or not depends on the average life expectancy. Where is the richest, where the natural and cultural environment is the best, and where the people live the longest. Shanghai's average life expectancy ranks first, and Shanghai's overall living environment ranks first.
This is what I think about this issue. People across the country unanimously recognize that Shanghai is the Shanghai of the country, and the country is the country of Shanghai. Shanghai has initially formed a modern city through 40 years of reform and opening up. All China’s financial center, all China’s science and technology center, all China’s space center, all China’s shipping center, all China’s trade center, all China’s pharmaceutical research and development center, all China’s science and technology talent center, all China’s top hospital specializing in the treatment of difficult and miscellaneous diseases , the elderly in Shanghai have the longest life expectancy in China, ranking first in China. Shanghai’s urban ecological environment is beautiful and the air quality indicators meet standards. Transportation is developed in all directions, and its subway lines are No. 1 in China. Therefore, the 24 million people living in Shanghai, a Shanghai-style cultural city, have a sense of happiness, satisfaction, and security.
I am from Shanghai. Why Shanghai is so fragrant is actually an exaggeration. Shanghai is much better than before, but there are still some who are dissatisfied, some with low incomes, some with illnesses, some sons who can’t find a wife, some daughters who can’t find the one they love, some brothers and sisters who don’t interact with each other, and some Those who want to make a fortune but haven’t, etc. Living in this city is the same as city residents across the country. Some families are happy and some are sad! The appearance of the city is just the appearance of the city! It’s the same all over the world!
Shanghai is like the eldest son in a family, shouldering the burden of the family. When your financial situation improves, you have to share the burden for your family. It is because of dedication that the country is willing to invest.
In the 1930s, Shanghai became prosperous and famous in the Far East. At that time, the Bund was China's financial center. Before the reform and opening up, a quarter of the country's fiscal revenue came from Shanghai. However, it is still one of the largest contributors to the national treasury.
Support for the construction of the mainland, Shanghai’s educated youth, aid to Xinjiang, aid to Tibet, earthquake resistance, flood resistance, anti-epidemic, poverty alleviation, student aid, etc. are all in Shanghai. Now that more than half of international flights have landed in Shanghai, how many viruses have been blocked? Wuhan is under lockdown during the Lunar New Year, and the first local medical team to rush to Wuhan's aid on New Year's Eve is the Shanghai Medical Team, and instant noodles are their New Year's Eve dinner.
Shanghai is one of the world-famous metropolises. It has a unique geographical location and God takes special care of it. Except for a little rain from the yellow mold, no other major natural disasters occur throughout the year. It is a perfect place at the right time. People and.
That’s why so many foreign and local businessmen, entrepreneurs, and even young men and women and newly graduated college students all fall in love with Shanghai, and they love it so much that they can’t live without Shanghai until they die.
Shanghai is also like a mother, opening her gentle mind to welcome her children.
In the near future, Shanghai will catch up with the world's first-class cities.
Shanghai is superior to other domestic cities because of its urban management and high-quality citizens, not beautiful high-rise buildings. A city is a home for all citizens. The first is a convenient and affordable life, the second is a good sanitary environment, and the third is easy and convenient transportation. Shanghai leads the country in the above three points.
Of course, there are also government administrative efficiency, medical care, education and culture. Shanghai is also quite good.
Shanghai is not a paradise, and Shanghai is not full of gold that can be picked up! As a native Shanghainese, I just want to say that if you don’t have innate conditions such as resources, background, and connections, it will not be easy to live a good life in Shanghai. If you are working, you must do your job to the extreme. Only when you are irreplaceable by others can you have a relatively stable and comfortable life... I would also like to tell you that the average working class, the vast majority of people in Shanghai, basically have enough food and clothing to live a well-off life. If you want to improve your living conditions, you will basically You just have to be patient and crane your neck to wait for the demolition. If you want to prepare a wedding house for your children, then take out your life's cash, plus the mortgage... Shanghai's prosperous and luxurious life of feasting and entertainment is basically incompatible with the vast majority of Shanghainese. It has nothing to do with it. In their eyes, Shanghai is just a neon light that changes at any time...
The fragrance in Shanghai is not something that only exists today. When we were young, in the 1950s, when we lived in Wuhan, everything was Everything from bicycles, sewing machines and radios, to the fabrics for clothes, to the one-cent bayberry sugar-cream balls are all made in Shanghai. When I got married in the 1970s, I always went to Shanghai for shopping trips. In the 1950s, Shanghai supported construction in various places, and batches of Shanghainese went to all parts of the country. Those Shanghainese have already taken root in various places. The people of that generation are at least ninety years old. Shanghai is the country's old foundation and must continue to play its role. There is no substitute.
As a Shanghainese with many friends and colleagues from other places, let me talk about why Shanghai and other four first-tier cities attract talents and why they are so popular.
1. Employment opportunities
This is the biggest benefit. Whether it is for migrant workers or college students, job opportunities and wages are unmatched by other cities.
For migrant workers, it is very normal to earn more than 5,000 yuan a month in Shanghai as long as they work hard. Whether you are a courier delivery person or other types of work, it is not difficult to earn 5,000 yuan a month. But what about in third- and fourth-tier counties? A salary of 3,000 yuan is the norm, and this has to be for teachers and civil servants with established positions. The basic monthly salary for other jobs does not exceed 3,000 yuan. In small cities, a monthly salary of 2,000 to 3,000 yuan is the norm, and job stability is not guaranteed. This is also the reason why the salaries of civil servants in the third and fourth tiers are not high but competition is still fierce. With the same low income, it is of course good to find a job that is stable and can guarantee income during drought or flood.
This is especially true for college students. You must know that many majors and many positions cannot be found in small counties because there are no relevant industries in the area. For example, third- and fourth-tier cities have no need for biomedicine, aerospace, automobile manufacturing, etc. It is difficult for even IT men to find more suitable jobs in third- and fourth-tier cities. Shanghai is different. There are many high-paying jobs. A capable college student can get an annual salary of more than 150,000 yuan just after graduation. It is very normal to exceed 300,000 yuan after five years. In the future, if you are strong enough, you can move into higher-paying positions. In small cities, an annual salary of 150,000 yuan may be a lifelong pursuit, and even if you reach the leadership level, you may not be able to get it.
2. Shanghai is fairer
You can feel this when chatting with friends from other places, especially those whose hometowns are in the north.
There is no absolute fairness in this world. Shanghai can be the first in the country in terms of relative fairness. Take the civil service examination as an example. Shanghai civil servants come from all over the country. Some of them come from very difficult families. Not to mention connections, they don’t even have any relatives or friends they met in Shanghai. There are many such people who have been admitted to Shanghai civil servants.
In addition, Shanghai is very fair in many places. It is very important for individuals to have the same opportunities. Sometimes you have to be convinced even if you lose, because your level of strength is indeed better than others, rather than losing because of other factors.
Of course, it would be wrong to say that there are no related things in Shanghai. Relatively speaking, there are a lot less. This is also a fact generally reflected by friends from other places.
3. Outstanding medical and educational resources
Medical and educational resources are the most important resources of a city. From a nationwide perspective, Shanghai is the city with the richest resources in these two areas besides the capital.
The number of tertiary hospitals and 985 universities far exceeds that of other cities. This is really much better than Shenzhen. To be honest, in Guangdong Province, Guangzhou is much better than Shenzhen in terms of education and medical resources.
Many people in Shenzhen joke that they go to Guangzhou for medical treatment.
Educational and medical resources are soft environments and cannot be used when they are not needed. When you need it, you need it urgently, and you can’t do it without it.
4. Prices are not high
Some people may want to say that prices in Shanghai are not high? The average price of a house in Shanghai is over 60,000.
Yes, housing prices in Shanghai are high, but you have to know that a house can be sold after you buy it. Unlike other consumer goods, it will continue to depreciate as it is used over time. After buying a house for 5 million yuan, it may rise to 7 million yuan in a few years. In the past few years, you have not only enjoyed the right to live in the house, but also gained 2 million yuan in wealth appreciation.
On the other hand, the prices of ordinary consumer goods in Shanghai are really not high. This is because of the full competition in the metropolis. When I travel abroad, I find that many basic commodities are really more expensive than in Shanghai. If you want to say that consumption is expensive, it means you have bought quality things, such as high-end cosmetics, luxury cars, and luxury brand bags. There are many of these things in Shanghai and many people buy them, but they are not daily necessities. You can choose not to buy them.
For life, the prices of all basic items are really not high. Compared with high wages, the price-performance ratio is high.
4. Welfare benefits are good, especially for those at the bottom.
Not to mention Shanghai’s per capita disposable income ranks first in the country.
Shanghai’s minimum wage standard is the highest in the country, higher than Beijing and Shenzhen.
Shanghai’s average pension ranks second in the country, only lower than the Tibet Autonomous Region and surpassing Beijing.
Shanghai’s minimum basic pension standard for urban and rural residents is the highest in the country, higher than that in Beijing.
These are Shanghai’s protections for the people at the bottom, which are higher than the standards of other first-tier cities.
Look at the Pujiang River in ten years, and look at Shanghai in a hundred years. There is no doubt that Shanghai is the epitome of modern China.
After the five-port trade opened, Shanghai became a colonial paradise where great powers competed to get there first. With numerous docks and thousands of merchants gathered, Shanghai became a paradise for Western adventurers. In just a few decades, buildings from all over the world have been erected on the Bund. The French Concession, the Public Concession, and the Japanese Concession were all demarcated into prisons. Shanghai has become a cornucopia of investment from Britain, Japan and other countries, and it is also a center of national industry. When Shanghai's commerce, industry, transportation, education, etc. were increasingly prosperous, Shanghai also produced China's largest working class.
On the one hand, the great powers built her into the magical capital of the East; on the other hand, she also gave birth to China’s most revolutionary proletariat. During the May 4th Movement, all classes in Shanghai have become the most advanced pioneers in China. Later, after the Communist Party of China was born in Shanghai, Shanghai led China's early revolution for more than ten years until it was transferred to the central base area of ??the Soviet Area. Three of China's top four major conferences are held in Shanghai.
Before liberation, Shanghai was a shining pearl in the Far East and a municipality directly under the central government. It is the economic, educational and cultural center of China.
Shanghai combines Chinese and foreign styles and is known as the "Shanghai School" and is famous all over the world. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shanghai's economy, science, medicine, education and culture have all achieved tremendous development, and its annual national tax payment accounts for about 25% of the country's total. Before the reform and opening up, Shanghai brand was the first in the country, Lao Ling!
Any cultural celebrity, troupe, or team can become popular across the country and even overseas only if it starts in Shanghai. Only when foreign brands appear in Shanghai can they create a sensation in the world.
This is the reason why the May 4th Movement will go to Shanghai to promote, the Communist Party of China will convene in Shanghai, Chiang Kai-shek will launch a counter-revolutionary coup in Shanghai, and Mei Lanfang and Gai Jiaotian are competing to take the stage in Shanghai.
There is no sea that is not above the sea, there is no sea that is not above the sea!
Internationally, it has built the Shanghai Cooperation Organization into the largest international alliance in the East, established a new international financial center in Asia and the world, launched the World Expo, hosted the International Import Expo for a long time, and Shanghai has become the largest international shipping center. Logistics center and business center.
Shanghai's Chinese "Shanghai Style" culture, which stands out from the 5,000-year-old ancient civilization and integrates into the contemporary world civilization, has attracted worldwide attention.
Shanghai continues to be at the forefront of China's reform and opening up, pays huge national taxes as always, sponsors Tibet and many provinces as always, and makes selfless contributions in both human and financial resources.
It is because of this that Shanghai will accept China’s most outstanding sons and daughters to gather at the Oriental Pearl Tower. Together with the people of Shanghai, they (she) will build Shanghai into a better place.
Why are the flowers so red? Why is Shanghai so fragrant?
Because it is the wisdom and blood of outstanding children across the country that dyed her red!
