    That's such an old-fashioned mindset.

      Wherever there are people, there's going to be trash. Every city has its clean areas and its messy ones. Shenzhen is actually pretty good by domestic standards. Don't just fixate on the problems, come on. [awkward R]

        People post this because they genuinely want Shenzhen to improve. The ones who actually litter couldn't care less if it's dirty or not.

          It's the same in Beijing. Any city in mainland China is bound to have 'animals' from less developed/uncivilized regions.

            It's like that all over the world.

              Migrants come here to work and buy property, but they don't cherish the city. What can you do?

                Shenzhen's urban development is pretty average, to be honest. It's not even as good as some second or third-tier cities.

                  At that popular photo spot by the Ferris wheel in Shenzhen's OH Bay (Happy Harbor), I can't believe the ground can get that filthy.

                    You can tell at a glance it's grease from street food stalls.

                      People used to curse the Chengguan (city management officers), and they still do, just for different reasons now.

                        Yeah, I admit I was too harsh/spoke out of turn before.

                          Isn't this perfectly normal? Everyone in the comments section acts like they're saints; they don't even think this is a big deal.

                            People who come to work in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen just love to nitpick. That 'unidentified liquid' under the pillar? It's probably just rainwater or water from cleaning that hasn't dried yet. Is that really worth complaining about?

                              The streets in my hometown, a third-tier city in Hubei, are even cleaner than this.

                                Those folks are just new migrants here for work; they might even be from your own hometowns.
