"The wang family stays in the township, and the family is poor and goes to all directions", but if the family is a little "two jujubes", there is some background strength in the local area, and a few are willing to leave their hometown and go to the big city to work hard again.
There are 2,843 county-level units in China, including county-level cities and municipal districts. Although many small counties and towns have a small economy, the absolute value of the population is usually not large, and the total population of China's counties is about 1 3 to 1 4 of China's total urbanized population.
The limited jobs in small counties are often closely related to local entities, many jobs are related to specific industries, and the occupational division of labor is more pragmatic and not too refined, and there are few occupations in big cities such as: "planning", "branding", "consulting", "development", "operation" and so on sound very "retreating" occupational classification, which also creates an unusually stable business ecology and human social structure in small counties, which lacks growth elasticity but is full of resilience, which sounds very contradictory to a closed loop. Many people who are engaged in these positions in big cities basically find that they are "unemployed" when they return to the county, and they are naturally "incurable".
With such a huge population, every year the small county town actually provides a lot of "small town problem-solvers" for major colleges and universities, and in the end, these graduates from the small county town are faced with two choices: stay in the city or return to their hometowns. There are no relevant statistics in this regard, and individuals judge by their own experiences and observations around them, which is roughly 2:8, including those who stay in the city for a short time and return to their hometowns. Of course, going to college is a way out, and after failing the college entrance examination, you will also face the above choices, and the estimated proportion is about the same.
There are two groups of people in small counties who will choose to leave, and there are two groups of people who will choose to stay, which is not directly related to whether they have received better higher education, after all, the way of working is also diversified.
Two types of people who go out:
1. A type of person who has changed their destiny through the college entrance examination, they have seen the outside world, and want to continue to realize their dreams in the bigger world through their own struggle and efforts.
2. There is no chance to get ahead in the local area, and they are unwilling to be reduced to the bottom of the county's life, they hope to achieve a counterattack in life through environmental changes.
Two types of people left:
1. A type of person whose family has a local industry, no matter how prosperous it is outside, it is still more attractive to not be able to match their own industry.
2. A type of person in the stable system of a small county town can maximize personal interests while further stabilizing the vested interests of small groups.
The two types of people who remain are part of the "county Brahmins."
Every year when I go back to my hometown during the holidays, I have to get together with local friends and classmates, and over the years, many classmates and friends have walked out of different trajectories with the change of the environment. Those who go out to work hard have their own wonderful, and those who stay in small counties are basically the same mold, which is becoming more and more homogeneous.
In the past few years, the general environment has been sluggish, and the "migrant workers" who go out have been rolling up in the dark in the big cities, while the people in the small county towns continue to be like water and prosperous like a dream, especially those "county Brahmins", who naturally have a sense of superiority, which is revealed from time to time in the gatherings with various "drifters" who return home for the New Year. Of course, if you are out and about, they are naturally not stingy with all kinds of climbing, and if you are out and about, they don't mind stepping on it more.
Once upon a time, parents desperately spent money on education for the next generation, not wanting their children to lose at the starting line, so that their children could jump to a higher class before the class was solidified. As everyone knows, in fact, in small counties, this kind of solidification has been formed as early as more than ten years ago in the father's stage, and it is becoming more and more obvious.
In recent years, not only has the class been slowly solidified, but also the familialization and hereditary nature of vested interest groups are also common in the county. Often their own grandparents or parents are in the local public security system, and there is a high probability that their children will eventually enter the public security law, as long as he is majoring in this direction in college (it doesn't matter what grade the school is, the general direction of the major is right); If the parents' family is in the financial system, usually their children end up in the bank, and so on, the grandparents have worked hard in related fields for most of their lives, have connections, and have a network, which can pave the way for the children, open up the situation, and provide conditions for the children's future promotion, which in turn further strengthens the influence of the family in this system, and the cycle repeats.
Reform and opening up for more than 30 years, China's economic construction by leaps and bounds, even if it is a small county, but also full of all kinds of "capable people" and "related households", in this very heavy social county, a large number of economic activities depend on the investment of resources, and these resources must eventually be implemented at the specific implementation level, such as roads, bridges, real estate, transportation, greening, municipal, and these projects are not accessible to ordinary people, the resources involved and "returns", naturally only "capable people" We can share that it is actually difficult for ordinary people to get additional dividends from the times outside of normal work.
Among my friends and classmates, there are also a small number of children from ordinary families who choose to leave the small county town, or stay in the city where their university is located, or go to a more unfamiliar big city. Although there are people in big cities, only there can they live sincerely by their own efforts.
Over the years, there have been successes and failures. Successful, in the big city to settle down, to find a job to support their families, even if they have to bear a mortgage, car loans, but in their hometown has no way to do nothing, they still can't pay the same effort in a small county town.
Of course, there are also some friends who used to work hard together in the big city, but in the end they couldn't withstand the pressure of the big city and returned to the small county town in their hometown.
After a few years, when I saw them again, I found that they had been quickly assimilated by the environment of their hometown, and compared to the previous high-spiritedness, they have already become somewhat superficial, vulgar and greasy middle-aged people, and the ideals of the past have become the naivety and immaturity of their mouths now.
The environment changes the character, and the character determines the fate", the outside world has too much influence on people, and people will eventually become one with the environment. The children of ordinary families can only rely on themselves because they rely on the mountains and the trees. In the current environment of the times, some people are destined to go to big cities to burn, and some people are destined to breathe in small counties.
