"Having the courage to leave is also generous and chic."

"But I want to stay safe if I can."

Living in a city for a long time, choosing to leave is also a kind of courage.

I met some friends for dinner these two days, but I didn't expect to leave again. My friend still chose to leave Xiamen.

My friend Dahua and my girlfriend have been in Xiamen for four years. When I was studying in this city, I still had a little petty bourgeoisie sentiment, so I stayed. Dahua and his girlfriend are both born after 90, just turned 25, and their income belongs to the upper-middle class in Xiamen. Both sides work in financial institutions, and their monthly salary is above 8k. It stands to reason that as long as they don't buy a house, they can still live comfortably in Xiamen: set up a tent at the seaside to play small cards on weekends and go out for a stroll on holidays.

When I first heard that they were leaving, I was full of surprise. "Are you kidding? Welfare is so good. Even if you buy a house, there won't be much pressure. " Why are you still going? "I really don't give up on them. After all, it is not easy for a city to have a few good friends for so long.

"I don't want to be too tired. Xiamen is the first-line housing price and the second-line salary. I really dare not think about what my future life will be like. " Dahua expressed his ideas. "In fact, when house prices skyrocketed in May, I considered leaving. We thought about it, and some good cities, such as Changsha and Chengdu, have average house prices above 7000. Even if you buy an expensive one downtown, it will cost more than 10 thousand. After paying the down payment, there is no pressure to repay the mortgage every month. In Xiamen, even if you can afford it, most of your wages are paid off, and you have to consider the problem of your children going to school. Of course, we can't afford a school district. What's more, I really don't want to live so hard. "

What Dahua said is not without reason. Chengdu and Changsha are really good, but the key is that the house prices are really not high. Spend a little money to get a salary of 5000, and you can live comfortably in Changsha, Chengdu. If you are in Xiamen, let alone buying a house, you will be crushed to death by paying your mortgage every month, let alone traveling abroad.

When you are young, if you want to go to the North, you can make it clear that you want to earn more money. But if it's Xiamen, apart from petty bourgeoisie, I really don't see anything worth leaving: the salary is low, the price of second-hand houses outside the island is almost three times lower, and the average price of new houses on the island is more than 40 thousand. If it is a school district, the price will be 50,000. From the perspective of economy and housing prices, there is indeed a very embarrassing situation in Xiamen: housing prices are artificially high, wages are low and prices are too high.

If young people want to earn money, they really can't stay in Xiamen in many ways.

"If the house price is not so high, will you stay?" I asked Dahua again.

"Yes, after all, the environment here is not bad. Don't people live in this world just to live comfortably? In fact, some of us are driven away by housing prices. I can't help it, even for the sake of the children, I have to leave here. If it is Changsha, we don't have to worry about the "sky-high school district". "

Dahua said two things: First, the house price is too high; The second one is for children. If you want to stay in Xiamen, the only thing you can miss is that the environment here is not bad.

In fact, Dahua doesn't have any relatives or friends in Changsha. I just think it will be better and closer to my hometown. I don't want to have too much pressure, but I want to be comfortable, which is not unreasonable.

When we were young, we always tried our best to squeeze into big cities. When we were 30 years old, many people left.

"Escape from Beishangguang" is the idea of young people in many big cities. They have no fixed address, no landing, are old, and feel insecure in big cities. Especially when it comes to children's schooling, one is hukou, and the other is the pressure of housing prices. For a foreigner, it is more difficult to stay and settle in Beishangguang.

My friend Dachuan also fled Beijing many years ago, and he chose Xiamen. I thought I could have a better life in Xiamen after fleeing from Beijing, but high housing prices came. Dachuan is even more disappointed. At that time, he fled Beijing. First, the environment is too bad. Second, housing prices are too high. I have been in Xiamen for four years now, but I haven't bought a house yet, and I have missed the best period. On second thought, Dachuan also wants to leave Xiamen. At the age of 30, he chose to leave for the second time.

"Man, after having children, you have to think of them." Dachuan's wife just got pregnant this year and chose to leave, also for the sake of the children, so that the children can take it with them and go to a good school at the same time.

In fact, young people, as long as they have children and have no place to stay in the city, basically choose to go back to their hometown. No way, you can't just think for yourself, and the children can't drift with you.

We choose to settle in a city. Why should we stay?

? Keep people: Choose a city, and there must be people you care about.

? Environmental factors: Everyone wants to live comfortably in a beautiful city.

? Appropriate house price: within the range that one's income can bear.

? Stable income: stable income, you can live comfortably in the city.

But wherever we choose, The most important point: I really want to have a home, a modest place, with the people you love.

Dahua and Dachuan, when they left Xiamen, mostly wanted their children to live a better life.

I'm thinking about a problem. Isn't your choice planning for your future children? For example, Xiamen is definitely the best place for children to live in a better natural environment. If young people who are wandering outside enjoy temporary comfort, they will eventually pass it on to their future children.

If you choose to leave and start over in a city, there is basically no way out. You can only stay whether you like it or not. Every geographical change is a huge price again and again.

I remember meeting an Australian on the train back from Lhasa before. He is 40 years old and went to Beijing by train from Lhasa alone. What surprised me even more was that he had no children, no wife, no house and was alone. In the noisy crowd, his figure seems a bit lonely and lonely. A Chinese uncle next to me is very curious about him. They chatted while I was a translator. When he knew that the Chinese uncle had a wife, children and a house, he gave a thumbs-up sign. "You are really rich," said the Chinese uncle. "I have no money."

The Australian takes it for granted that if he has a house, a wife and children in China, he must be rich. But he may not understand the pressure of survival on the shoulders of young people in China.

Some time ago, when I was traveling in go to dali, I met many people who fled here from big cities. Someone rented a small yard and drove an electric motorcycle in the ancient city of Dali, where they were married and had children. Many young people in modern times prefer a comfortable life. Someone told me that in Dali, you will forget the whole world and forget the whole world at the same time.

I can't live so chic, after all, I need to live. But let's take a step back and think, if we choose to escape when we are young, won't we still transition to our children in the future? In fact, the same is true. The small city you like may not be liked by children in the future, but it will also become the first generation of immigrants, and the pressure will be even greater. If you work harder when you are young and choose to stay, and your children live in big cities, you may not have the same troubles as you.

If you choose to leave the big city, is it possible for your children to leave their hometown again one day like you? And you, wandering with your children? Of course, this is just my imagination. But many times, history is always strikingly similar.

Whether in Beishangguang or Xiamen? Whether you want to stay or run. In fact, life is like this. We see what others see. Life is your own, stay or go, and live it well if you choose.
