Shenzhen Day 3: Still Plotting My Escape!
-
That's right.
-
I always feel like I can't connect with the land in Shenzhen.
-
You're free to leave. Shenzhen isn't Northern Myanmar, you know.
-
That's easy to say.
-
They don't follow labor laws and just drain workers' energy.
-
So many young people, yet it's so lifeless. I wonder how Shenzhen managed that.
-
Going to work, leaving work, weekends – everyone just looks completely lifeless.
-
What do you mean by 'land energy'?
-
Anything that's hard to describe clearly just gets labeled as 'a feeling'.
-
Young people today can achieve great things in the countryside. A vast world awaits talent! Answer the nation's call and go to the rural areas!
-
'Land energy' doesn't equal 'the countryside'.
-
Guangzhou and Shenzhen should really 'thank' the 'great princess' of that 'patriotic enterprise.' We're so 'blessed'—she practically wiped out foreign trade, drained everyone's prospects, and championed the 'age 35' layoff culture. Incomes vanished, but mortgages remain. Now, all that's left is street vending or driving e-scooters to scrape by and pay off loans. It's a dog-eat-dog world of internal competition and infighting. In Shenzhen, 50% of jobs are tied to foreign trade, and 45% are indoctrinated by this ruthless 'age 35 wolf culture.' The remaining 5%, with their secure 'iron rice bowl' jobs, only bother to manage things when they feel like it.

Stroll around in a park.
-
Go to parks more often.
