When I was a child, I read Du Fu's "The Hut was Blown by Autumn Wind", and the sentence "There are thousands of spacious houses in Qian Qian, and all the poor people in the world are happy" can be said to be completely irrelevant. However, I didn't know until now how difficult it is to have thousands of buildings.
Since last year, colleagues and friends in the cycle have been chanting one thing, that is, the house, which can be said to be unbearable pain for all. After graduation, I left Beijing to work hard in Shanghai. I have experienced too much here and gained too much. What I really feel is only a hard-won sigh.
First, all the people who come here are working dogs. Buying a house is the only thing that city people know after coming to Shanghai. Every morning, besides the alarm clock and dreams, you have a job. During the internship, the salary was very low and I couldn't afford to rent a young man's apartment. So you found a cheap house in a village in the city. In Shanghai, 1.2 square meters of houses in 500 yuan for one month1.2 square meters can only be found in urban villages. At that time, I got up from home before dawn every morning and began to wash when I smelled the strange smell in the bathroom. Then, I rode the N-hand bicycle bought by 150 yuan, and set foot on my way to work, rain or shine. Every night, the lights are on and the night is slightly cold. I still want to ride my bike back to my small room. In the cold wind, I waited for the water heater to boil water, and it was already after midnight when I really took a bath.
Although, in a place like Lujiazui, on the surface, the financial work in a suit and tie is holding a meager salary, the so-called scenery is just a kind of bitterness. Every time I ride through a high-end residential area, I think of so many houses. When can I have children of my own? At that time, the house price in Shanghai was only 24,000 yuan, but it was still difficult for me to have a foothold with my own income.
I remember the typhoon, but I still had to go to work by bike. In the strong wind, the whole person was rolled up and fell to the ground, with deep scars on his arms and legs, but I still have to go to the drugstore to buy some medicine myself, then go to work and go back to my residence at night. I want to cry because of the pain, so I can only tell myself to grit my teeth and stick to it. To this day, the scar on my arm is still warning me of the pain and hardship of that year.
Later, with the increase of income, I finally left the depressed village in the city and rented the first shabby one-bedroom husband's house. Why not share it? It's purely because I often work overtime and don't know when I get home, or I rent it by biting my teeth, just for living, but although I have a slightly better house, looking at the vast Shanghai, every night falls and every time I meet a holiday, it feels like a painful feeling.
In this huge city, as a wandering young man, you have nothing but struggle. The so-called talent, the so-called glory of the favored son, can not find a sense of belonging, no achievement. There is only pure drift and loneliness here, that's all. I can only watch the chicken soup written for myself in Weibo every morning and get up the courage to go to work, but I have to go on.
Some people say that whether young people have a sense of belonging depends on whether you have a house in this city. Although this sentence is a bit absolute, when I got the key as a vagrant, my mood was calm, because no matter how small I am, I have my own foothold. Buying a house is like getting on the bus, from walking to having a vehicle. Only when you get on the bus will you have a chance to upgrade. You can't imagine what will happen next without the first step.
Some people say that they are all working dogs when they come, and they are all urban people when they buy a house.
Second, do you want the house or the lamp for you? Buying a house means high mortgage. The pressure of mortgage makes you feel suffocated. If the salary is less, the mortgage will make you feel that throwing all your salary in will not fill the hole. Stimulated by the mortgage, you have no choice but to work.
Work hard to make money just to pay off the mortgage. You will find that you have no extra time except work. You have become the loneliest person in this city, and it seems that you are struggling to see the house every day. Because buying a house is not only a person's behavior, but also the efforts of a family or even a family. The high mortgage tells me that if you don't work one day, you will be abandoned by the world. I dare not change my job easily, I dare not entertain, I dare not travel, I am afraid that the bank will raise interest rates, I am worried about being sick and unemployed, and I have no time to really enjoy life. All my dreams will eventually become a small house that compromises with society.
I remember a comment in the Spanish newspaper Le Monde: Young people in China are being bound by a demon, a demon called real estate. High housing prices destroyed the love and imagination of young people. They could have recited poems and held a book club, but now they can only scrimp and save. Poetry and distance are just an extravagant hope.
It is true that in the face of the burden of real estate, love can't compete with pressure after all, and life has become a helpless choice. In the end, love was destroyed by house prices. There is only an empty house, but there is no one to leave a light for you. In the face of an empty house, where do you want happiness except the cold walls around you?
How many times have you asked yourself: Have you tried to live the life you want? Yes, I not only tried my best, but I was even exhausted, but what did I get?
High housing prices are indeed an unavoidable topic for young people, but you have to accept the fact that you bought a house but lost happiness. I hope you can find the person who left you a bright future!
