What happened to those who fled Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, resigned and went to Dali?

Some people go to Dali because they are under too much pressure from work or life and want to escape the city and let themselves go in this artistic city; some have time and money to go to Dali to enjoy the purity and tranquility; and still others , intending to start a business there. The second type of people who have money and time do not have the problem of resigning and selling their houses, and most of them will not live a retired life in Dali forever, without making any comments.

Most people who resigned may have done so because they did not like their previous life and working environment, but wanted to pursue inner freedom, so they left everything behind and came to Dali. However, after all, there is a gap between real life and the description in poetry. Although Dali is beautiful, slow, and relaxed, its ideals are full and reality is skinny. Life is still inseparable from daily necessities. Some people say that traveling is from a place you are tired of to a place others are tired of, and the same is true in life. When I first arrived in Dali, I carried a yearning for this city and a pursuit of a slow life, but this enthusiasm and novelty always ran out. This divides people into two categories, one is those who cannot live anymore and go home, and the other is those who start to survive and develop in Dali.

In "Dear Inn", Wang Ke said more than once that he originally planned to go there to enjoy the time, but ended up working all the time. This is true for a half-true variety show, let alone a real inn in Dali. It is ideal for people with ideals to balance ideals and reality. Just like the owner of the inn next door, he arrived in Dali and liked it here, so he worked hard to take root and develop. But most people are unable to do this. Some have discovered the gap between ideals and reality, and some have changed their ideals. Just like the Beijing couple who opened an inn in Dali a few years ago, they now have a baby and have returned to Beijing. They have realized their previous dreams and are now pursuing new goals.

Dali is not a paradise either

“It is impossible to completely escape from the world, and Dali also has status levels.”

In 2015, Wen Dali resigned from advertising For design work, I left Chongqing and went to Dali. He couldn't stand the state of his job. "Sometimes I don't even get 6 hours of sleep a day, and it's already 2 o'clock when I get off work. The boss here urges me, and the customer on the other side says I need to make changes. Either I change the industry and continue to be an office worker, or I start a business." Wen Da struggled for half a year. Until one day, a friend asked him, "What is your goal in this life?" Wen Da suddenly realized that this was not the life he wanted. He wanted to open an inn of his own.

Before this, he had been to Dali twice. At that time, he felt, "Dali is really like what the poem said, facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming." He quit his job and worked as a store manager at an inn in Dali while planning a store opening. "I no longer have to squeeze into the subway. I can wake up naturally, take a nap, and explore the ancient city in the evening."

But after a month, he felt bored and put the store in the process of opening. But he happened to encounter the government renovating the inn. At the end of 2015, he started to go through various formalities and thought it would be opened by the end of 2016. As a result, he was constantly called to stop during the construction process, which made him feel very insecure.

“I can’t say I regret it, but some details were not handled well, and I’m quite scared now.”

But when it comes to Dali, he still likes it very much. "I used to think that Dali was a good place with spring flowers blooming, but later I discovered that many young and artistic people and urban elites also live in Dali, and the culture is very rich."

There is only one regret. It turns out that Dali is not entirely a paradise. "There are several types of people in Dali. One is those who come to be lazy, the other are those who come to make money, and the third is the social elite who come to escape from the world. They all have their own circles and opinion leaders, and they are hierarchical."

He also I will continue to stay in Dali because it is very comfortable and I want to wait for the inn to open.

I have lived in Dali and Lijiang for a period of time. The life here really makes people want to escape from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and makes people fall in love with it regardless of anything. During my time living in Dali and Lijiang, I met many people who had resigned from big cities and came here.

How did they live after coming to Dali? They first found spiritual satisfaction here and escaped from the life in the big city. In fact, financially speaking, if you open a youth hostel, you may not make less money. Compared with working in a big city, you will definitely earn more by opening an inn in such a tourist city. But the height is limited, and it is unrealistic to make tens of millions.

In cities like Dali and Lijiang, the owners of Youth Traveler Inns you meet may have resigned from Beijing and came here. They first spent some money to rent a yard and opened an inn. Stayed here. Every day you meet many tourists from all over the world. Chat with these tourists and do some things they want to do. They will tell you that life here is comfortable and free.

But whether they decide to live like this in the future, whether they will be tired of it one day in the future, whether they will want to go back to the big city, this all depends to a large extent on the individual and out of their own conscience. . But living in Dali for a year or two is definitely a kind of enjoyment like the travel-style life of the young couple in "Tongue 2". If you live there for one or two years, you don’t need to sell your house in Beijing. You just need to rent it out, and the rent you receive can be used to meet your daily expenses.

Speaking of life here, the wind in Xiaguan, the flowers in Shangguan, the snow in Cangshan Mountain, and the moon in Erhai Lake. Dali, a city with a calm character, is like a trickling stream. No matter the hustle and bustle on both sides, it remains clean and comfortable. Walk the dog, cook, and watch the sea breeze here. The sunshine from the sea shines into the room, and the sea breeze blows in too. When I wake up, the first thing that comes to my mind is that life here is so comfortable.
