Shanghai: A Friendly WTF Warning
-
You've hit the nail on the head, but you're describing folks with families and kids. For us recent graduates, the job market is already tough. On top of that, our entry-level salaries barely cover food and rent. Even after landing a job, finding a partner is difficult when you're all alone out here. And even if you're lucky enough to find someone, affording a house is still out of reach.
-
It's not easy. I hope my husband and I can stick it out.
-
Keep going, hon!
-
Managed to buy a house.
-
Wishing all my fellow compatriots from other provinces, who are working hard here in our Shanghai, good health and great fortune.
-
Been here for thirty years, still can't afford a house, and don't feel a sense of belonging.
-
I want to go back too. I don't feel any sense of belonging here.
-
Earn it in Shanghai, spend it in Shanghai; not a penny makes it back home. And when it comes to social obligations, you still have to dip into your savings from back home.

Anyone looking for driving lessons? Instructors are recruiting directly.

Exactly.
