In August 2022, 28-year-old Daxiu, after two years of deep drifting life, made an unexpected decision to return to his hometown in Guangxi, a small county located in the 18th parallel. What's even more surprising is that she actually used the savings she and her husband worked hard in Shenzhen to spend 570,000 yuan to buy a 320-square-meter, three-story villa.
In the eyes of most people, life in a first-tier city is full of opportunities and challenges, and returning to your hometown means giving up those possible opportunities. But Daxiu doesn't think so. She told us: "I can make more money outside, but I feel tired from the fast-paced, high-pressure life. Back in my hometown, although my income may have decreased, I have regained balance and happiness in my life. ”
And being able to buy this villa is even more unexpected than the big show. She said that when she was in Shenzhen, she and her husband had been trying to save money in the hope of one day owning their own house. But they didn't expect that after returning to their hometown, they would be able to use these savings to buy such a luxurious villa.
This villa is located in Xiangzhou County, Laibin City, a place with relatively low housing prices. Here, the average price of commercial housing is between 2k 3k per square meter, and the listing price of this high-end villa is only 630,000. Daxiu said that it only took her 10 days from viewing the house to starting. Moreover, she only needs to pay a down payment of 200,000 yuan, and the monthly payment is as low as only 1,800 yuan, which is no pressure for her.
For Daxiu, this is not just a house, but also a change in attitude towards life. "It's a place where I can slow down and enjoy the beauty of life," she told us. I can meet, chat, and share the moments of life with my family and friends in this spacious space. It's a life I can't experience in a first-tier city. ”
I think this story tells us that there are many choices in life, and it doesn't necessarily have to be to pursue the prosperity and opportunities of first-tier cities. Sometimes, it's a good idea to return to your homeland and embrace a simple life. Here, you can find your own happiness and fulfillment.
