    Me too. I'm graduating in June and planning to leave Beijing for Hangzhou. Life in Beijing has been so tough...

      I feel like people in Beijing have this sense of superiority, as if Beijing has to be the best place in the country and they can't stand anyone saying otherwise. I won't be swayed by that thinking. I'm already very unhappy here, and the only way to change things is to leave. I visited Hangzhou last month and was so happy; time seemed to slow down, like a day actually had 24 hours. The pace in Beijing is just too fast, there's no time to really experience life.

        You can tell from the comments there's a lot of negativity.

          So, are there any cities with good weather? I've also grown tired of Beijing's climate these past couple of years. Sigh 😑

              If it weren't for life's pressures and a strange twist of fate, who would willingly choose to stay long-term in a place like this, always feeling subordinate?

                Damn, that's so true! I've never seen discussions about the differences between locals and outsiders in any other city-related topic.

                        [Hehe] Actually, I try to be objective and say both good and bad things, but unfortunately, it's the criticisms that people tend to notice more.
