Shenzhen, a city that is easy to make people feel "happy"

This time I traveled to Guangdong and went to Shenzhen, but I accidentally discovered a "big event".

This "window" city of reform and opening up, which ranks among the "four first-tier cities" in China, has an important thing that is quietly "disappearing".

As usual, get to the point first.

Out of Shenzhen Baoan International Airport, I called a taxi. In less than ten minutes, a white car with the logo of a network platform "crunched" in front of me. The driver came down from the cab to help me pack my luggage, get on the bus and fasten my seat belt. It's safe. There are blue sky and white clouds all the way. The driver was concentrating on driving, and I looked at the scenery outside the window.

At this time, I suddenly found that many cars on the roads in Shenzhen have become "green cards".

Taxis are green, buses are green, road cleaning cars are green, and even cars that pull goods and move are green.

I asked the driver: Is this green car brand unique to Shenzhen?

The driver replied that it was a special license plate for electric vehicles, and the public vehicles in Shenzhen had been "basically replaced by this brand".

The driver also told me that at present (20 19 10), taxis in Shenzhen are basically replaced by electric vehicles with green licenses, and there are hundreds of "gasoline taxis" in Shenzhen.

After getting off the bus, I stood at the intersection for a few minutes. Really, there are almost no "blue" taxis using gasoline on the streets of Shenzhen.

I suddenly realized that this is probably an epoch-making event: Shenzhen may become the first city in China where "gasoline taxis" disappear!

For a city like Shenzhen, the word "changing with each passing day" is really appropriate.

Shenzhen is developing too fast. It suddenly occurred to me that a few years ago, my neighbor's aunt once proudly "showed off" her son who worked in Shenzhen: he was very busy at work, only had one day off a week and had to go to work on Saturday!

After several years, I understand that it is not that we are not allowed to rest, but that we can't afford to rest. Everything in this city is thriving. If you don't pay attention to it, you will be "killed" by your peers and abandoned by the times.

Back to this trip. It's the same taxi

On the way, I looked back from the window and was deeply touched by the meaning behind various "innovations". Drivers are also very emotional and talk more.

But he always sits straight, his silky tie reaches his throat, and his clean white shirt is tightly stretched, without even a wrinkle, which makes his face look calm and warm. I asked him: Do you have to dress like this?

He smiled, opened his mouth to say something, and suddenly stopped, probably thinking that there was a recording on the car: Yes, the company stipulates that you must dress like this, so get used to it.

You will find that Shenzhen is a special "regular" city.

At least in so many cities I have been to, Shenzhen is among the best in paying attention to and abiding by the "rules".

When you take the subway, everyone will wait quietly on both sides and rarely grab the "on" with the passengers who get off;

When shopping, everyone will consciously line up. I also met someone who cut in line and was immediately "boycotted by all staff." Everyone worked together to "plug" the people who jumped the queue to the end of the team;

On the road, all kinds of vehicles are ready to give way to pedestrians "eight feet away";

Even the deserted cinemas in the suburbs are not allowed to bring "strong" food into the projection hall. ...

This city is very new. Just like "a blank sheet of paper", for decades, generations of young people have "thoroughly" learned these rules here. It makes people feel comfortable and convenient.

Parks in Shenzhen are basically free, and there are people from all corners of the country in the park. They live happily with different folk customs in their hometown. Various cultures and languages collide with each other, forming a distinctive new Shenzhen.

This is a relatively "open" city, where there will be no "restrictions" on online car rental. The streets here will never be "decades", and every time you go out, you may see something new.

Seeking common ground while reserving differences in Shenzhen is also very reassuring. No matter the morning shift or the evening shift, when you want to have a hot meal, there will always be a roadside shop to open the door for you.

The bus in Shenzhen will leave very late, and the night bus will stay up all night. When you get on the bus at two o'clock in the morning, you will find that drivers go out with folding bicycles and helmets.

Bus masters will not blame their equipment for "occupying space", but will only politely remind them: take it in and don't block the guests.

People who return home at night in the city, who pity the bleak autumn wind.

After living in Shenzhen for a while, I may not be used to moving to another city.

Many things in this city are "advanced", and all kinds of new things are often "piloted" here.

For example, the two unique "women-only carriages" of Shenzhen Metro are very humanized.

Although at present, this carriage is just a dummy without encountering emergencies, Shenzhen has never lacked the spirit of being brave in trying.

There are also some "impossible" in the usual sense, which are also like a duck to water in Shenzhen.

For example, on a rainy night, I found the "* * * Enjoy Umbrella" beside the bus stop sign, which is a daily appliance that may be "avoided" at hand, but it was "arranged" clearly and obediently in Shenzhen.

Most of the faces in this city are very young, and it is because of their existence that Shenzhen is today.

Shenzhen is an immigrant city. Everyone comes from all corners of the country. There is no so-called geographical discrimination or "exclusion". Among the first-tier cities in China, Shenzhen is the easiest to settle down. As long as you work hard, you will keep your position here forever. Very "fair", it is easy for people to get a little "happiness":

Food from all over the country can be found here. Even if you were born in a remote mountain village in Shenzhen, as long as you search, it is still possible to find the small shop that belongs to your hometown and you are used to eating and drinking since childhood.

When you walk into that small restaurant with excitement, you will find that the boss there is really your hometown, speaking a dialect that only the two of you can understand and greeting. It turns out that everyone's ancestors are old acquaintances.

In Shenzhen, the probability of "meeting an old friend in another country" is really great.

……

Although Shenzhen is not perfect and has many shortcomings, it does not prevent it from "leading the country" in many aspects.

Shenzhen is a city that can easily make people feel happy. More stories about it, listen to me next time.
