I grew up in a suburban city and didn't leave the suburbs until I went to college. I just changed the district (you should have guessed which district). When I was a child, I felt that the world was so big, and there was no difference between suburbs and urban areas, except for some shopping malls and restaurants. During the Spring Festival, I will go to the city to buy new year's goods and have a big meal, and I will be self-sufficient in the suburbs on other days (of course, I don't mean farming). Many city people's impression of the suburbs still stays in farming and raising pigs. Of course, there are still quite a few grandparents who have been farming all their lives, and there are almost no young people.
Interestingly, although our household registration is Shanghai, we don't seem to regard ourselves as Shanghainese, because we call going downtown "going to Shanghai". Our dialect is also different from Shanghai dialect. We can all understand Shanghai dialect, but people in the city can't understand our dialect. I still remember that when I was in junior high school and senior high school, especially the science teacher, I began to speak dialects when I was talking, and my classmates didn't even realize that they started to speak dialects. The suburbs are like a closed little world. People outside won't come, and people inside don't want to go out. Every generation was born and raised here, married and had children, and even didn't want to go to the city. After graduating from junior high school, I can't even take the subway to play in the city, and the subway in my hometown was only opened in recent years.
Later, when I grew up, my contact with the city became intensive. When I realized the difference, it was time to look for a job. Because I don't want to find a stable iron rice bowl like my parents, I went to the city to interview a lot of jobs. Convenient transportation, hospitals, schools, entertainment and other public facilities. You know it takes at least one and a half hours from my home to the city by subway, and the traffic between the cities rarely exceeds one hour. There is only one secondary hospital in my hometown, so I have to go to the tertiary hospital in the urban area if I really encounter any big health problems, and the special projects of different hospitals are different. Even if it takes 4.5 hours to go back and forth, I will skip class and go shopping in the city. Many friends around me have gone to the city to study in high school, and few students will go to schools in the north when they arrive at universities (except very good universities). At this time, some people complained why my parents didn't stay in the city to develop. Maybe my life can be much more convenient now. Of course, I still love the land where I grew up, which at least gives me a unique vision to answer today's question.
Finally, we should conscientiously sum up and eliminate it. As a suburban person, I have always been biased against the urban area. As a Shanghai hukou, I have never enjoyed the benefits it brings. As a post-90s generation (of course, I am not young), I have observed that at least most of my peers are as tolerant as me, but we can't help but hold a group, but we hold a group out of the feeling of seeing fellow villagers. After all, there are fewer and fewer locals in Shanghai now, regardless of the urban suburbs. Especially when everyone speaks Mandarin, making friends only depends on personality, and chatting only depends on whether words can be speculative. Sometimes I don't even know where my friends are from, even though I have known them for a long time.
It's Spring Festival again, so it's time for Shanghainese to miss mainlanders most. The whole city was empty in an instant and lost the power of operation. I flew to Shanghai yesterday, and I knew I was home without a map, because only this city was still brightly lit in the early morning, like a nebula, and many foreigners on board couldn't help taking pictures of this vast scene. Without the joint efforts of everyone, such a big project would not have today's Shanghai.
I was born in 1980, and I went to Shanghai when I was a child, but I didn't have any ideas at that time, and I wouldn't say to see high-rise buildings. I just follow my parents wherever I feel fun.
I have been to Shanghai several times after graduation, especially driving on the viaduct in Shanghai. I want to know what an international metropolis is. By the way, I am from Nanjing, which should be a good place, but I didn't know the gap was really too big until I went to Shanghai. Nanjing also has several business districts and many tall buildings, but it feels that Shanghai is full of business districts, and it is rare to see "slums" in every city. Too busy.
In addition, every bridge on the Huangpu River is well built, especially the Lupu Bridge, which makes me feel the essence of modern architecture, which is incomparable to several river-crossing bridges in Nanjing.
Also, Shanghainese are very kind, and there are few rude people. Quality is reflected in the details. Driving at night, there are very few vehicles with high beams opposite. I admire this, which is rare in other places.
Every move of Magic Capital affects the trend of China's economy. I hope it will get better and better and show the good qualities of our Chinese nation to international friends!
Friends who have never been to Shanghai can also go to play once. Only by recognizing the gap will we work harder!
I came to Shanghai in 2006. I have been in Shanghai for 12 years. Seeing this title, I tried to recall what I knew only after I came to Shanghai.
1 I didn't know there was a subway until I came to Shanghai. At that time, there were only five subway lines in Shanghai: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
After I came to Shanghai, I realized that commuting for 4 hours every day is a very common thing. Only after I came to Shanghai did I know that buses are charged by distance, and air-conditioned cars started in 2 yuan. I used to take the bus 1 yuan in my hometown, so I can sit anywhere.
I didn't know until I came to Shanghai that there were too many convenience stores all over the street, and the box lunch was more expensive than the food in my hometown restaurant. Later, it was discovered that in Shanghai, eating convenience stores is the minimum consumption.
I didn't know that KFC and McDonald's are civilian consumption until I came to Shanghai. If your boyfriend and girlfriend take you to KFC for a date, it's looking down on you. However, eating KFC is a luxury in college.
I don't eat seafood such as shrimps and crabs for the first time since I came to Shanghai. In the past, my hometown was in an inland province, and I had little chance to eat shrimp and crabs.
6. I didn't know until I came to Shanghai that I didn't have the money to go shopping to buy clothes because you needed it, and sometimes it was to relieve the pressure of work and pass the rest time.
7. After coming to Shanghai, I saw the old Shikumen house, an old house with no sanitary facilities and no public kitchen and bathroom, and several people crowded into a house of 10 square meter, only to know how embarrassing the living environment at the bottom of Shanghai was.
8. I didn't know until I came to Shanghai that it is normal for a man to hurt his wife when doing housework. It turns out that Shanghai women have a high status in the family.
9. After coming to Shanghai, Shanghai is a city full of rivers and seas. Snacks from all over the world gather here. Only you can't think of it, and you can't eat it.
10, I didn't know there were too many rich people until I came to Shanghai. Only people who are rich, leisure, educated, cultivated and connotative are called rich, and there are many low-key rich people, otherwise they can only be called explosions.
1 1, I didn't know until I came to Shanghai that being an independent and thoughtful woman is much more reliable than marrying a rich man.
12, after I came to Shanghai, I realized that rich people work harder and train their children harder than those who have no money.
13, only when I came to Shanghai did I know that Shanghai is a city with profound cultural background.
There are many, many ...
I came to Shanghai on 20 17. I've never been here before. I'm sad, shocked and like it. Let me briefly say the following points.
1. Arrived in Shanghai at 1 1 in the evening and booked a seat on the train. At first, the landlord said it was a bed, but I had no idea. In 700 months, my second landlord (who later understood this concept) was also from Anhui and came to meet me at the subway station. I found it shocking when I arrived. I lived in a three-bedroom and one-bedroom apartment. 1.
2. I was sent to Fujian on the way and returned to Shanghai on 20 18. I live near the railway station, in China Shipping Wanjincheng, and spent a month on youth travel 1000, sharing with foreigners. It still feels good.
3. Now I am in huinan town, 1000 a month, with a separate bathroom and kitchen, but it takes 1 hour to go to the company, which is very good.
I stayed in Shanghai for a long time. To tell the truth, I haven't been to some scenic spots and I don't have time. Life in Shanghai is really fast and stressful.
5. Subway, I used to take the subway only in Nanjing, but I feel really happy every day in Shanghai, which is much more convenient than driving, but it is too crowded.
6. Shanghainese, my current landlord is a Shanghai aunt. She's really nice. She is very kind to our young people from other places. She cooks and washes clothes for us. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, she will also prepare moon cakes and hairy crabs for us. It's really not easy to say it every day. It's too hard and very touching.
7. Shanghai is a fair city, not as dark as a small city.
I want to say this, but it's not geographical discrimination. Just what most people see and hear.
When I went to Shanghai for the first time, I learned that there are only two kinds of people in China, one is Shanghainese and the other is foreigner. I believe many people have heard of it.
Shanghainese (locals) are particularly xenophobic, not discriminating against outsiders, but an instinctive rejection. In fact, this is the same as the northerners' view of the north and the south.
I have a friend who is from Liaoning. He thinks that the north is northern Liaoning and the south is southern Liaoning? When I first heard about it, really, he seemed to be a fool.
These are all related to the different places where people live. I didn't know about Shanghainese until I went to Shanghai!
I have lived in Shanghai for more than ten years, and the biggest feeling is that most people who look down on foreigners are foreigners based in Shanghai.
There are all kinds of people everywhere, regardless of their quality. Treating Shanghainese with mindless prejudice is itself a kind of discrimination.
I am a native of Jiangsu, discriminated by the "new Shanghainese" whose ancestral home is Jiangsu, despised by the local tyrants of Hebei in Shanghai, and abused by Shanghainese.
But the next-door neighbor is a native of Shanghai and has shared snacks, ice cream, snacks and other delicacies with me. I received the delivery and take-out for me.
Shanghainese have high income and good welfare. For example, taxi drivers, most of whom are invisible millionaires or even multimillionaires, are very polite when they are greeted and sent.
Look at the foreign waiters in Adi, New Balance and Nike stores. He is a part-time worker himself, and his eyes are really full of arrogance.
Again, there are all kinds of people everywhere, regardless of their quality.
It's kind of ridiculous. I didn't take the subway before going to Shanghai, and I didn't know how to take it at that time. But in Shanghai, I have to take the subway again. At that time, I felt that there was such a convenient means of transportation in the world, so I didn't have to wait for the traffic lights, and it was fast, so I didn't have to bask in the sun. It's really amazing. From then on, I fell in love with this city. The subway is really big.
What's more, just out of the train station, in a short time, I saw many planes flying in the sky. Although I have seen it in the countryside, it has never been so frequent. The technology in Greater Shanghai has really refreshed my understanding of the world.
Later, we visited the Bund. It was close to one o'clock in the morning when we arrived, but many people still came to visit. I think this is particularly incredible. This area is also very prosperous. Really can't see the tall buildings, too many, too high. I have seen the most prosperous place in my life.
And the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. I never thought a science and technology museum would be so fun. No comparison, no harm. Later, I went to Nanjing Science and Technology Museum to play, which really didn't make any sense.
In addition, it is the consumption here. We ate a plate of bibimbap on the roadside, which cost more than 20 yuan, and it was the cheapest. We had never seen it before coming to Shanghai.
Take some photos and have a look. The first time I saw you in the subway.
As a student who came to Shanghai from Zhejiang, a big province of college entrance examination, his children have started to receive education in Shanghai, which may be a big misunderstanding of the whole country.
What I heard before is that Shanghai has a low test score, and more than 400 points can go to Fudan Jiaotong University, and 90% of people in any high school class can go to college. Students in Shanghai don't want to leave Shanghai either, because there are many local universities anyway.
Now I know that half of the students in Shanghai have been flunked out of the senior high school entrance examination and have to go to technical secondary schools and vocational schools. The education competition in Shanghai started with pregnancy;
The first is the school district, and the education gap between different schools is very large;
Start early education at the age of one or two and climb faster than others;
It is almost standard to start teaching English as a foreign teacher at the age of three. Parents with a little chicken blood will gradually increase piano classes, literacy classes, pinyin classes, calligraphy classes, Go classes, Lego brainstorming classes and so on. One or two sports trainings are also indispensable. The training market in Shanghai is red and black.
From the middle class, parents who are preparing to take the private education exam have worked hard all the way. There used to be major Olympic cups and English level certificates, but now they have stopped, but they still can't stop their parents from forging ahead. I never knew that I had to prepare my child's resume when I was in primary school. When you arrive in Shanghai, as a parent, you can't make a beautiful resume, and you can't even pass the tickets to your favorite school.
At the beginning of junior high school, many schools in Shanghai are bilingual schools, that is to say, you actually have to decide whether to take the domestic route or the foreign route around the second day of junior high school. The two training methods are different, and the teacher will arrange your study with emphasis.
If the domestic route is determined, it is necessary to invite various cram schools and tutors, because parents can't help their children with their homework at all. A junior high school near us is good at math. What do you mean? Almost all mathematics is an Olympiad problem. I couldn't understand their math papers in early childhood. By the way, the primary school in Shanghai is five years, and the junior high school is four years, the first year of which is called preparatory school. ) is also a student of this school, my neighbor, and the tuition fee is 8,000 yuan per week, including 2,000 for physics, 2,000 for mathematics, 0/000 for English, and 3,000 for accompanying students.
The senior high school entrance examination and the senior high school entrance examination in Shanghai also began to change. A good junior high school has a large number of places to enter a good senior high school. And good high schools also have a lot of self-enrollment places to go to college. So it seems to be a university competition. In fact, 70% have laid a good foundation in junior high school.
After the watershed of senior high school entrance examination, it is basically safe for children who can be admitted to key districts and cities to go to college in high school. However, going to a university, an Ivy League school or an ordinary undergraduate course still depends on your school itself. Good high schools have their own channels and advantages in applying for prestigious overseas schools. For example, in Shanghai's prestigious Shenxian School, only a few people take the college entrance examination every year, and most of them apply to overseas famous schools before the college entrance examination.
Shanghai's education competition is great, which is also reflected in one point: accumulation. If all the best talents in China are gathered in Shanghai, then people have gathered not only from their parents' generation, but at least from their grandparents' generation. So in many families, six adults train their children together, and they are good at teaching.
Therefore, when you come to Shanghai to study, you won't be surprised to find that the local students in Shanghai are so excellent, not only in English (they began to learn at the age of 3), but also in their activity ability (almost all the children who graduated from Shanghai No.4 donkey kong High School are social activists) and learning ability (the competition of the single-plank bridge started very early).
In March this year, I found an internship in Shanghai, which was my first time in Shanghai. I graduated from school in July, and my work changed from trial to formal. I have been in Shanghai for some time, and I have some different feelings about this city that has gradually become familiar from a stranger. Let me share it with you here!
1. Shanghai is really big;
I studied in Changchun University (I'm from Jilin Province). Until graduation, Changchun, as the capital city, completed the planned subway construction for seven or eight years before opening the subway line 1, which cost only three yuan. When I first came to Shanghai, I was very confused about the subway line. For the first time, I learned that I can transfer to many stations on the way and see the complicated subway route map of Shanghai. These give me an intuitive feeling that Shanghai is very big!
2. The house price is not cheap, and renting a house is not much better:
As the working people at the bottom who work hard in Shanghai, they go in and out of the spacious and bright high-grade office buildings with superior geographical location during the day, and take the crowded subway at night to return to the rented commercial houses with less spacious prices. At least for my current situation, a large part of the hard-earned money every month should be happily and reluctantly given to the landlord, so Shanghai gives me another feeling that renting a house is very expensive, which is also a common problem in first-tier cities. Compared with friends in Shanghai or colleagues around us, everyone is equal, but compared with classmates and friends working in second-and third-tier cities, the salary level and rental expenses are not relatively flat. Let's talk about the house price. In the suburbs of Modu, the house prices have reached 30,000-40,000 square meters, which basically does not exist in Changchun!
3. There are many job opportunities:
Regardless of other industries, only Internet companies or traditional software industries, first-tier cities such as Beishangguangshen and Shenzhen have won the favor of industry giants, while Shanghai is not prominent in this respect, and domestic Internet giants have not landed in Shanghai the most. At that time, my first internship was in a startup software company in Changchun. The company is mainly engaged in software R&D and sales. I remember that it took a lot of thought to find an internship at that time, because there were few decent Internet companies in second-tier cities and many small start-up outsourcing workshops. There is no contempt here, but when I came to Shanghai later, I felt that ordinary companies in second-tier cities still could not provide themselves with too many platforms for exercise and growth. During my work in Shanghai, I also contacted many client companies, so when I opened my eyes, I also felt that Shanghai, as a metropolis, could provide many development opportunities for young people!
4. The scenic spots in Shanghai are not as legendary:
There are many scenic spots in Shanghai, most of which don't cost money, but as office workers, if they can spare the weekend to visit the scenic spots, they must endure the embarrassment of being crowded! I have also been to most of Shanghai's scenic spots, such as the Bund with gorgeous night scenes, the brightly lit Nanjing East Road, the unique new world, the ancient garden-flavored Town God Temple, Tianzifang, Qibao Street and China Art Palace ... These scenic spots always impress me with a lot of people, but when I am in it, I find it slightly different from my own imagination. If you just look at your leisure time, the scenery in Shanghai is still worth seeing.
Probably summed up so much, for those friends who have patiently read it, I want to say a word of hard work to you. Shanghai, a magical city, has its own unique charm. I hope you can find your own different world here!
Before coming to Shanghai, my monthly salary was 3200. Going out to eat and buying clothes is very cautious. I dare not spend money recklessly. I rented 700 yuan a month, and saved 20,000 yuan after a year's bonus. Once, a classmate invited me to visit Shanghai. I ate more than 700 meals and drank hundreds of cups of tea. I suddenly feel like a hillbilly. Later, when I moved to Shanghai, my salary went up and I gradually got used to it.
Most Shanghainese are kind and enthusiastic. They are frugal when saving money and generous when going out to spend money. Of course, the consumption in Shanghai is really high. An old house of about 60 square meters in the city center costs 6500 yuan per month.
Shanghainese like to be clean and fresh, and they like foreigners with quality. Don't cut in line and spit everywhere. Shanghainese are actually foreigners without quality.
