There are always some people who think that everything is good in Shanghai. They always think that people all over the country should yearn for Shanghai and Beijing. If you leave a big city and go to a small city, you will not be able to survive. It will be an embarrassment to your family and make others laugh. .
Among them are my parents. They always feel that their children will bring glory to the family when they go to Shanghai. They often feel very proud of themselves outside and look down on others who work in their hometown or other second-tier cities. For their children, they only see the prosperity, convenience, education and medical conditions of Shanghai. They not only hope that their children can become so-called new Shanghainese, but also hope that they themselves will also become Shanghainese. . .
But I don’t know how exhausted I am from working as a worker here. I often feel that I am not like a living person here, but just a living zombie. In fact, my registered residence is already in Shanghai, but I still think about leaving all the time. Because of this, I had an unpleasant quarrel with my father at home during the Chinese New Year. I really felt like I could never have peace no matter where I went.
I studied and worked in Shanghai for 1***6 years, and then chose to settle in Shenzhen, so I am still somewhat qualified to comment on the differences between the two cities.
Climate, nothing to say, Shenzhen is a few streets behind Shanghai. Summer is just as hot for everyone, but there is basically no winter in Shenzhen. I really don’t want to recall the winter in Shanghai. It’s not as warm inside as it is outside.
Education, this is also obvious. Shanghai is definitely better than Shenzhen. It can be seen from the number of 211,985. There is no way. This is the accumulation of foundation and requires time and resources.
Job opportunities are similar for everyone. There may be more opportunities for financial jobs in Shanghai, but overall there is not much difference between the two cities. The most important thing is that there is not much difference in salary levels and opportunities for advancement and development. .
People-to-people relations are what Shanghai locals are criticized for the most. In fact, it's okay among young people. At least there was no so-called discrimination against outsiders when communicating with local classmates during college. Some older people are more concerned about this, especially when they find that you can't even understand Shanghainese. When you understand. We don’t have this problem in Shenzhen. Everyone is basically an outsider, and sometimes we feel the joy of meeting old friends in a foreign land.
In daily life, Shanghai’s food tends to be sweet, which I was really not used to when I first arrived in Shanghai. But now, whether in Shanghai or Shenzhen, you can basically find restaurants of various tastes. As for concerts, various musicals, dances, dramas, etc., there are more in Shanghai. It depends on whether you really like these.
The answer is naturally Shenzhen. I have lived in Shenzhen for 30 years. As a local who was born in Shanghai in winter, my heart still trembles when I think of Shanghai’s winter, it’s so cold! The coldest time in Shenzhen is during the Spring Festival, and it gets warmer in about a week. In fact, Shanghainese are not xenophobic, and the old ladies in the lanes are still very enthusiastic about helping outsiders, even if they are a bit gossipy. The phenomenon of gnawing at the elderly in Shanghai is quite serious, which is unimaginable in Shenzhen. People in Shanghai advocate a refined life and are as particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation as possible within their own financial strength. People in Shenzhen, like Cantonese, are mostly more casual. In terms of food, Shanghai has been greatly affected. The authentic Shanghai taste is almost extinct, but Shenzhen has gathered flavors from all over the country. In terms of development opportunities, these two cities are not suitable for purely working and earning money. The cost of living is too high and the competition is fierce. If you want to develop in finance or multinational companies, go to Shanghai. If you want to work in IT or service industry, go to Shenzhen. You will all have the opportunity to start your own business. Living conditions are similar in Shenzhen and Shanghai. As for travel, both Shanghai and Guangdong B have high prices. To sum up, I grew up with Shenzhen, my career, family and friends are all here, and I deeply love this city. As for Shanghai, it is my birthplace and Shanghainese is my mother tongue (although my Cantonese proficiency is currently higher than my mother tongue). It is difficult to let go of it emotionally. It is also good to live there occasionally for vacation.
If you put aside all the problems and can only choose one of these two cities to live in, I would choose Shenzhen. As an outsider, Shenzhen is a young city with not many native-born people. The opportunities are fair. Shanghai is an ancient metropolis. Even if you are rich, in the eyes of the locals, they just want to mess with you
If you like petty bourgeoisie and elegance, choose Shanghai; if you like to dress yourself up as a successful person and are unwilling to bear the responsibilities of both genders. For relationship and responsibility, please choose Shenzhen; to expand: if you like a cost-effective and comfortable life, you can choose Guangzhou. If you choose to live a comfortable and contented life, choose Chengdu. If you choose to live a bold urban life and start a business, now is the time to choose Wuhan.
If you have money and pursue real quality of life, please choose Hong Kong. If you choose long-term development planning and a big picture, please choose Beijing!
I have lived in Shenzhen for three years and Shanghai for six years. I graduated from high school. From my personal point of view, if you want to make money, go to Shanghai. If you like to have fun, go to Shenzhen. In terms of climate, Shenzhen is indeed much better than Shanghai. Because the winter in Shenzhen is basically not very cold, and the rainy season is common in Shanghai in the summer, it is fun to be in Shenzhen, but without money, I always feel like I can’t feel at home. If you have money, you can stay wherever you like. If you don’t like it, don’t complain, thank you! Represents personal views only.
It depends on your age, experience and occupation. If you are a young person engaged in new technology, Shenzhen will be more attractive to you. If you are a middle-aged person who has experienced a certain amount of life pressure, you will first ask yourself, does my city have some of the best universities in the country, some of the best key middle schools in the country, and some of the best in the country? Shanghai already has hospitals, but what universities, middle schools and hospitals can Shenzhen offer? This is the most practical. On the other hand, the diversification of a city's industrial layout is also very important, so that you can retain talents in all aspects and provide the broadest possible employment world. Shanghai has unparalleled diversified industries. , not only in the fields of new technologies and finance, but also in the fields of steel, automobiles, shipbuilding, aerospace, commercial aircraft, etc., it has the country's top companies and industrial chains, and this is precisely where Shenzhen falls short. The comprehensiveness and diversification level of medical and health resources, educational resources, and industrial layout are all reflections of the city's comprehensive strength. Many young people on the Internet only know how to compare the development level of a city with GDP per capita, thinking that GDP per capita represents everything. As everyone knows, there are more than one city in the world with a per capita GDP exceeding that of New York, but dare to compare it with New York? The same is true for Shanghai's status in mainland China. Frankly speaking, Shanghai is irreplaceable, but Shenzhen can be copied and re-created.
There is no need to worry. For ordinary people with no background, these two cities are the same. Living in these two cities is very stressful, and the housing prices are not cheap. You are a food delivery person in Shenzhen. Can you become a senior executive of a foreign company in Shanghai?
Stay wherever you want. Improving your personal abilities is the most important thing. Gold can shine wherever you go.
Summary of 8 years of experience living in Shanghai and 3 years of working in Shenzhen. Shanghai has a Shanghai-style culture that worships foreigners and favors foreigners. It pays attention to the details and quality of life. It eats light and pays attention to nutrition. Making friends with Shanghainese requires money. Be clear, because most Shanghainese like to reciprocate with courtesy. It’s not that Shanghainese are picky, but in their consciousness they don’t like to take advantage of others, and they don’t like others to take advantage of themselves. Shenzhen is a young city where as long as you are willing to work hard, you will get something. The increase in housing prices is elusive. The food is popular for its Cantonese cuisine and nourishing soups. It is adjacent to Hong Kong and is influenced by Hong Kong's culture! I have a lot of contact with outsiders in Shenzhen because of my work. If you are a big boss today, I will treat you the same way I treat a big boss. If you become a small boss tomorrow, I will immediately switch to the small boss routine to deal with you. It is still very realistic, haha. Therefore, I think Shanghai has advantages when it comes to living and living, and there are greater opportunities to work and make money in Shenzhen! Life requires choices, because everyone pursues different things.
I don’t want any of them. Third-tier cities are the best. Without a high degree of education, high IQ, good looks, or a good background, an ordinary person will not be able to buy an apartment in a few lifetimes, and all good looks will become an artist. Well, any place with a good background is good. Today’s Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are not suitable for ordinary people to settle down. When Shenzhen was first developed, it was a good time to work hard. It has passed. One square meter can cost tens of thousands, which is more than your annual salary. , don’t eat or drink? People who get off work in the Shenzhen subway in the middle of the night, the scene from Bao'an District to Longgang is full
