See a big V's point of view,Young people's choice of city is equivalent to a second reincarnation。Instantly, I felt like I had been struck by lightning, and I suddenly felt that I couldn't agree more with this opinion. Vaguely, the experience of a few friends around me is a wonderful revelation-The middle-aged town that was saved by Shenzhen
When I went back to my hometown last year, I had dinner and chatted with Lao R, and at that time he was working on an engineering project of a relative's in his hometown, and he seemed to be in good spirits and seemed to have stepped out of the previous shadow. I'm really happy for him. recalls the all-night chat a few years ago, and still can't help but feel sorry for him: I really didn't expect the suffering in film and television dramas to fall on him. Lao R is my high school classmate, and like me, he is a problem-solver in a small township on the 18th line somewhere in the Central Plains. After graduating from high school, he went to study at a 211 university in Sichuan. After graduating from university, considering the aging of his parents, he chose to return to his hometown to work. In our time, students who went to college and went back to their hometown to work, usually went to work in the provincial capital city of their hometown. He was different, he did not choose the provincial capital, or even the city, but returned directly to the county seat. After working for a few years, Lao R bought a house, got married, and had children in his hometown county, living a salty and unpleasant life. Because of the distance, we don't have much contact, and we all think that we are doing well. Until one day more than ten years after graduation, he was already in his early thirties, suddenly resigned from his hometown and came to Shenzhen, saying that he must find a job in Shenzhen. I was stunned, but I didn't want to ask too much. Later, he told the truth: he had a bad life in his hometown, his life had changed a lot, and he once tried to commit suicide. Because there were few classmates who returned to his hometown to develop, he gradually cut off contact with his classmates, the circle of work and life became more and more closed, and people became more and more dull. A few years after graduation, he experienced the death of his relatives, and he was immersed in pain for many years and could not get out. Later, the death of his first child brought him close to collapse, and then he suffered from major depression and even tried suicide. Fortunately, he had a second child, and life gradually ignited some hope. Unexpectedly, when the second child was three years old, his wife couldn't stand the life in her hometown and chose to abandon her family and go to the big city. Frustrated, after painful thinking, he finally decided to quit his job and come to Shenzhen to work hard. I hope to break out of the world and save my broken family. After coming to Shenzhen, he was like a different person, he could endure any kind of hardship, and he was stubborn about any difficulties. There is no gossip around me, and I must be in my thirties how to ......Every day I think about how to work and make good money. After coming to Shenzhen for a few years, with the increase of income level and the change of the surrounding circle, he gradually became enthusiastic and active, and he was finally relieved of his past experience, and his eyes were bright again when he chatted about the world. Later, as the child grew up and wanted to go to school in his hometown, he returned to his hometown to develop. But his mental outlook and life state are the same as those before he came to Shenzhen. After chatting with him last year, I have been thinking: why did he stay in Shenzhen for a few years, so much change? Perhaps it is not entirely accurate to say that Shenzhen saved him. However, Shenzhen's diversity and inclusiveness will be rewarded as long as you work hard......These are completely different from his hometown, which makes him see another possibility. Because of this, he gradually came out of the misfortunes and depressions of the past. I often think: if he can continue to work hard in Shenzhen, or if he comes to a big city like Shenzhen after graduating from university, he must have a different life.
An atypical entrepreneurial path of the post-85s generation in Beijing
Uncle K is a self-a** blogger that I have been following for a long time. Follow him because of his similar age, similar experiences, and even similar problems that need to be faced, and I can always get a lot of inspiration from him. He shared his story: He was born in 1986 in a small 18th-tier county in Shanxi, and he can be regarded as a "county seater". At the age of 18, he graduated from high school and went to study at ** University of Finance and Economics in Beijing, and after completing his undergraduate and graduate studies, he entered a state-owned enterprise in Beijing. During this period, I experienced falling in love, getting married, buying a house, and having children. Although they have also experienced a series of difficulties, fortunately, the husband and wife love and work together, and they have also survived safely, and the family is harmonious and happy. In 2016, at the age of thirty, his peaceful life was disrupted by an accident - he had a second child. The originally tight life was suddenly stretched thin. What to do? What to support your family? All of a sudden, it became a difficult problem in front of him:How to make money has become something he ponders all day long. After thinking about it for a while, he plans to do writing and submitting as a side hustle, because he has a certain foundation and interest in writing. After trying for a while, he opened *** and began to write on ***. Gradually, Uncle K accumulated a certain amount of fans, and people began to ask him for advertising. After receiving positive feedback, he worked harder to write ......In the blink of an eye, by 2018, he could already earn more than 100,000 a month through writing. At the same time, he has also amassed a large number of loyal fans and held offline action training camps. By 2019, when he accumulated more than 500,000 followers and achieved an annual net profit of more than seven figures through writing, he finally left his original unit and focused on self-creation. Today's Uncle K has been in business full-time for nearly 5 years, and the team has grown from the initial few people to more than 20 people. The field of engagement has also developed from text-based *** to **, Douyin and other types and platforms. When most of his peers were trembling for "35 years old" and "mid-life crisis", he had already realized that "the light boat has crossed the ten thousand mountains". Looking back on his growth path, the opportunities and tolerance brought by Beijing as a big city, as well as the gathering of a large number of young people, which facilitated the exchange and collision of ideas and insights, all provided excellent conditions for Uncle K's entrepreneurship and growth. I can't imagine what Uncle K would be like if it was not a big city like Beijing, but a small and medium-sized city in his hometown? Back to the topic at the beginning,Young people, especially those who have just graduated and have no resources or background in their hometowns, must go to big cities for development. There is a broader stage, a more civilized business environment, more young people with all kinds of novel ideas and a more inclusive living environment……These will reshape a person's value, change the trajectory of a person's life, and create all kinds of possible opportunities. I myself am a beneficiary of this choice: after graduating from university, I chose to develop in Dongguan; Before starting a family, he came to Shenzhen, and then got married and settled down in Shenzhen, and to a certain extent, he also enjoyed the dividends of the city's development. To this day, I still feel that one of my most successful choices after graduation was to choose to develop in the city of Shenzhen. Believe in the power of belief - if you choose to develop in a big city, you will definitely be brought to a height that makes you happy.
