Clothes 1. From Lenin's dress with suspenders 1949 to the founding of New China, China people's clothing life suddenly changed qualitatively. The traditional mandarin jacket and cheongsam were replaced by Lenin suit and Zhongshan suit, which became the wedding clothes that people dreamed of at that time. In the early 1950s, because of the influence of "Big Brother", Blagi was all the rage and was known as the fashion dress of young women. Since then, in China, blue, gray and black have always been popular colors in the streets, and people's enthusiasm for green military uniforms has lasted for nearly 10 years. In today's China, off-the-shoulder evening dresses and short skirts, which embody the freedom and boldness of the 2/kloc-0 century, are no longer fancy clothes, but represent the most avant-garde fashion in today's society.

If you want to buy clothes, you can buy the clothes of Miss Lin who works in a securities company. Too many to count. She said, I remember when I was a child, my mother only bought her new clothes for the New Year. I want to buy it now. Even if she has a new dress for 500 yuan, she can easily buy several pieces every quarter.

Food 3. Consumption moves from food and clothing to enjoyment. For parents, eating may be the most important part of daily consumption. In the early 1950s, the average annual salary of workers in China was only that of 400 yuan. With the increase of income, by 2003, the average annual salary of workers in China has reached 14040 yuan. At this time, people's lives are getting richer and richer. What they think is not only the low-level satiety, but how to eat well.

Engel coefficient is the ratio of food expenditure to total expenditure, which is called Engel coefficient. The higher the income, the lower the proportion of people's expenditure on food in total expenditure. 1978, the Engel coefficient of rural families is 67.7%, and that of urban families is 57.5%. In 2003, this proportion has dropped to 45.6% and 37. 1%.

4. Packaging In the past, people had to "go to town" to eat and show off their ostentation and extravagance. At that time, "packaging" was not popular, and now coarse grains have become a rarity for urbanites. It will be a great pleasure for people to eat some farmhouse meals and coarse grains and wild vegetables. And now people are becoming more and more environmentally friendly. With the improvement of living standards, ostentation and extravagance is no longer people's greatest pursuit. Now it is popular to "pack" without wasting.

Life 5. The concept of "community" to guide a new life to live and work in peace and contentment is the aspiration and understanding of the people of China for generations. Housing shortage used to be the number one problem that plagued urban residents for a long time. With the development of urban construction and the reform of housing system, urban residents have gradually bid farewell to the era of serious housing shortage and entered a new stage of paying equal attention to increasing housing area and improving living quality. From the public "unit dormitory" in the past to the "sunshine apartment" and "garden square" with personal property rights. Nowadays, city people buy houses not only for space, but also for a "new way of life". People pay more and more attention to apartment structure, environmental greening, home decoration and property management. The "residential area" with unified planning, beautiful environment and supporting service facilities not only replaces the old bungalows in Hutong and Lane, but also brings a brand-new modern life concept to the citizens.

6. A two-bedroom Guangzhou citizen Mr. Zhang currently has three apartments, but when he went to school 18 years ago, he still lived with his parents and grandfather in a bungalow of only 8 square meters, and three generations shared a bedroom of less than 5 square meters at night. The year before last, Mr. Zhang bought his first house, with a balcony 10 square meter. Last year and this year, he bought two houses in a prime commercial location. Now it is very common for families in Guangzhou to own more than two houses.

Line seven. Cars enter the homes of ordinary people. In the eyes of China people, the car was once an unattainable or even undesirable object. Nowadays, more and more people in China drive their own private cars. These private cars are extremely rich in grades, ranging from small cars of about 30,000 yuan, such as Alto, to large SUVs of more than 1 10,000 yuan, such as Land Rover Range Rover. On the roads of big cities in China, you can see all kinds of the most advanced and newest cars in the world, many of which are even high-end new cars that have just been listed in Europe and are rarely seen on the streets of big cities in Europe.

Before China ranked first in motorcycle production in the world, China cyclists probably never thought that they could afford a motorcycle. But now, China is the largest motorcycle producer in the world. In 2002, China's motorcycle output reached130,000, accounting for half of the world's output, exceeding 50%, ranking first in the world.

9. Before the air ticket is not expensive, for the general public, going out for travel is a big expense, and flying is even more unimaginable. But flying is very common now. Mr. Wang, a citizen, will fly to Hainan Island this weekend. He said that almost once a month has become a habit.

10. Allow private capital to set up the "Regulations on Domestic Investment in Civil Aviation Industry" to be issued soon, creating the necessary regulatory environment for domestic capital, especially private capital to invest in civil aviation industry. Following the establishment of Eagle United Airlines, the first private airline in China, in February 2004, two private air transport enterprises, Spring Airlines Co., Ltd. and Okay Airlines Co., Ltd., were also approved by the Civil Aviation Administration of China. Followed by, private Volkswagen Airlines and Huaxia Airlines are also rapidly following up.

1 1. China's civil aviation fleet has been fully modernized. In the past 20 years since the reform and opening up, China's air transport volume has grown rapidly, and its ranking in the world has risen from the 37th place in 1978 to the1998th place in1,making China a world aviation power. China's civil aviation fleet has been fully modernized. By the end of 200 1 year, China * * * had 103 1 aircraft. The total number of Boeing and Airbus aircraft accounted for 40% of the total number of civil aircraft in China, and the updating speed is still accelerating.

12. Beijing: From the Second Ring Road to the Fifth Ring Road. In the past 55 years, the development of Beijing has developed from the Second Ring Road to the Fifth Ring Road in the early days of liberation. According to the latest statistics released by Beijing Municipal Planning Commission, in 1949, the urban roads were only 2 15 kilometers, with 6 paved roads. Since liberation, * * * has built 2529 highways, 12306 km. Among them, expressway 144 km, highway 1283 km and bridge 2 1 10 km have formed a highway network with expressway as the leader, national and municipal trunk highways as the skeleton and county and township highways as the branch lines.

Household appliances 13. Digitalization of TV Because TV sets are high-end consumer goods, most families don't have them at all. Now, the "flat screen TV" featuring a large screen is replacing the traditional TV. As early as the early 1980s, TV was still a luxury for many families, but now, many families have to worry about how to deal with waste TV. In the future, TV can not only receive TV programs, but also let viewers take the initiative to order their favorite programs, which is the change brought to us by the digital TV era.

14. air conditioning civil air conditioning, once aristocratic household appliances, has now become a necessity for urban families. The data show that by the end of 2003, the penetration rate of air conditioners in urban households in China has reached 48.9%, and the average number of air conditioners in urban households with air conditioners is 2. 13. The popularity of air conditioning is inseparable from the popularity of its price. In the past, an air conditioner cost five or six thousand yuan, which was beyond the reach of ordinary families. Now, in addition to the price dropped to one or two thousand yuan a set, people also put forward the requirements of energy saving and health for air conditioners, so inverter air conditioners and oxygen bar air conditioners came into being. ...

15. Washing machines are not uncommon in rural families. After years of market promotion, washing machines have gradually become an indispensable household appliance for urban families. The data shows that the overall ownership rate of urban household washing machines in China has reached 92.8%. Even so, cities still have an expected purchase rate of 28.2%. The main reason for consumers to buy is to upgrade. At the same time, more rural families use washing machines.

16. Although the popularity of DVD players was originally created by immoral "pirated CDs", it is undeniable that DVD players have greatly changed our home life. Watching DVD has become an important entertainment for many people, and it has also become a reason for many people not to go to the cinema. It is worth mentioning that the price of genuine discs is also very cheap now, and DVD players with higher definition also put forward more requirements for disc quality. Therefore, in the future, DVD players will no longer need to bear any bad reputation. ...

Communication 17. Fixed telephone users 199 1 year, with 8.498 million users. By August this year, this figure had reached 302.9 million.

18. Telephone installation fee1979 In June, the State Council approved the implementation of the telephone installation fee policy. The national guiding standard is 3000-5000 yuan, and the specific standards are formulated by all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. At the end of 1990s, telephone installation fees began to drop sharply. By the end of 2000, the actual collection level of telephone installation fees in China has dropped below that in 500 yuan. Now the initial installation fee has been officially cancelled, and it only costs 235 yuan to install the phone.

19. According to the statistics of mobile phone users of 199 1, there are only 47,500 users. By August this year, the total number of users has reached 3 15 1 100 million.

2 1. netizens: 0 to 87 million. The 14th Statistical Report on Internet Development in China (hereinafter referred to as the report) recently released by China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) shows that as of June 30, 2004, the number of netizens in China was 87 million, ranking second in the world.

During the six years from 1994 to 1999 when the Internet entered China, the number of netizens reached 8.9 million. From June 2003 to June 65438+February, the number of netizens increased by 8.9 million in half a year.

22. Everyone takes a mobile phone. Changing now is like changing clothes for young people. The old street "paging desk" may be difficult to understand. Nowadays, many urban families have more than one fixed telephone. Mobile phones are so popular that even young people who have just left school have one.

Tourism. All localities have vigorously developed the tourism economy. Modern tourism in China rose in the early 1950s. Since the reform and opening up from 65438 to 0978, China's tourism industry has entered a period of rapid development. 1999 received 72.8 million inbound tourists, including 8.43 million foreign tourists; The foreign exchange income of international tourism was US$ 65,438+US$ 0,465,438 +0 billion, 39 times and 53 times higher than US$ 65,438+US$ 0,978 respectively. At present, China has become an important tourist destination in Asia. At the same time, all localities actively develop tourism resources and regard tourism as the pillar of local economy, and tourism has become an important growth point of national economy.

24. With the improvement of people's living standards, China citizens are increasingly interested in traveling abroad. In recent years, China citizens have traveled to Southeast Asia and Europe. Foreign travel agencies set up offices in China, and take various publicity measures to attract China citizens to travel abroad.

25. Tourism has become people's way of life. While developing international tourism, domestic tourism is also booming. 199 in 1999, the number of domestic tourists reached 7190,000, and the income was 283.2 billion yuan, increasing by 14.3% and 105.9% respectively. With the implementation of May 1 day and 1 1 day Golden Week, people's desire to travel is stronger, and domestic tourism is in the ascendant. At the same time, various new tourism modes are developing vigorously, and they are transitioning from sightseeing to leisure tourism.

26. Traveling by car is becoming fashionable. With more and more people becoming car owners, holiday go on road trip has become a big hobby for many car owners. Either a bicycle or a few friends form a motorcade to travel together. More commonly, a large group of people who don't know each other organize themselves, design a good route, and make an appointment to travel together by posting on the Internet. Go on road trip makes more people appreciate the scenery, increase their knowledge and make many people become good friends.

27. Actively applying for the protection of world natural and cultural heritage has become a common practice in China. China is a State Party to the World Heritage. In June, UNESCO adopted the World Heritage Convention 5438+0972 1 1, and the UNESCO Heritage Center specially organized the representative natural and cultural heritage sites in the world to be listed in the World Heritage List for protection. There are 28 sites in China, including 2 1 cultural heritage, 3 natural heritage and 4 dual natural and cultural heritage. The total number of world heritage sites ranks third in the world after Italy and Spain.

Lifestyle 28. With the progress of society, the improvement of productivity, the increase of income and the shortening of working hours, people have more leisure time to control. Since May 1995, day five has been implemented in China. Coupled with the extended holidays in May 1 day, 1 1 day and the Spring Festival in recent years, the statutory rest days of employees (excluding paid holidays) have exceeded 1 10 days, and the average working hours of urban employees in China in 1990 are 7. More and more urban residents are leaving their homes and joining the ranks of "Zhou Bianyou", "Inter-provincial Tour" and "Traveling Abroad". The appearance of "Tourism Golden Week" has brought people new feelings and happiness. Going out of the house and going abroad to "see the world" has been included in the "leisure travel table" arranged by more and more ordinary people.

29. The Three Major Pieces of Marriage A writer named Jin recalled that he got married in 1970. When you get married, there will be three big pieces: a bike, a watch and a sewing machine. But he only prepared two things, a watch and a bike. The bicycle was bought by 1968 Hua 180, and the watch was bought only when someone from the supply and marketing cooperative asked for a ticket. When I first got married, there was no house at all. We all live in our own homes and meet several times a week. Later, it took a long time to win a 7.5 square meter bungalow from the unit. Although it was just a slap, it was much better than a dozen people crowded on a kang, so it was satisfactory. The three major items now are undoubtedly commercial housing, cars and computers. Compared with playing suona in a sedan chair at the beginning of liberation, the luxury of the wedding is naturally a far cry from each other.

From tickets to luxury goods, a survey data shows that in the first four months of 2002, China imported 2,265.438 billion Swiss francs, and in 2004 it reached 88.2 million Swiss francs. It quadrupled in just two years. With the development of New China, the quality of life of people in China has been greatly improved, from the supply of clothes and meals with tickets to the rapid rise of luxury consumption market.

3 1. The drugstore is open. There used to be a man with a headache and a fever who had to go to the hospital. There is basically no place to buy some medicine at home. Now, large and small pharmacies and pharmacies are all over the streets. Generally, you can buy the medicine you need when you go out, and you don't need to go to the hospital for a simple fever and cold.

32. There are many kinds of newspapers. Nowadays, many people like to read newspapers in their spare time, but in the past, ordinary people could read few kinds of newspapers. Unlike all kinds of newspapers and magazines now, they are dazzling. Such as news, politics, sports, cultural leisure and so on. Let different people get different choices.

33. The price of medicines varies greatly. In the past, drug prices were regulated by the state, but now the market is liberalized on the basis of state regulation. Moreover, in recent years, the problem of high drug prices, which has been called for for many years, is also being taken seriously by the regulatory authorities. The prices of various antibiotics, colds and other drugs have been adjusted and reduced many times, and some results have been achieved. However, the separation of medicines and the return of prices really require the joint efforts of regulatory authorities, enterprises and businesses.

34. There are many kinds of health products. There were no health products to eat before. Now there are many kinds of health care products, such as those for the elderly, children, pregnant women, obese people, calcium supplementation, beauty, bone strengthening, weight loss and blood pressure and lipid lowering ... it's just a hundred flowers blossom. Various health care products publicize their efficacy through advertisements and other forms.

Shopping has become a way of life. In the past, shopping only went to "department stores" and all kinds of goods were sold together. Now supermarkets, hypermarkets, convenience stores, discount stores and shopping centers can meet your various consumption needs. There is a special appliance store for buying household appliances, and a special communication store for buying mobile phones. Fresh food can go to a fresh supermarket. In recent years, brand-name discount stores have sprung up, allowing you to buy satisfactory "brand names" at low prices. The goods in the supermarket can be delivered to your home with a phone call. . . . . . Now, shopping has become a way of life, but also a kind of enjoyment.

36. According to the recent statistics of the Committee on Aging, there are 262 centenarians in Guangzhou, and these centenarians can enjoy longevity health care benefits no less than those in 200 yuan every month. Now it is common for young people in Guangzhou to have grandparents in their seventies and eighties. From 65438 to 0949, the average life expectancy of Guangzhou people was only about 40 years old, while the statistics in May 2002 showed that the average life expectancy of Guangzhou population was 75 years old, which increased by 35 years in 53 years.

Trend 37. "The only child? A generation of young people with rapidly updated life concepts very much agree with the consumption concept of "using tomorrow's money to buy today's happiness" and put it into practice. " The lifestyle on wheels strongly attracts the younger generation in this city. It is reported that it is nothing new for Beijing college students to go to class by car. According to the manager of a car shop, more and more college students buy cars by installment. Recently, about 10% to 15% of the cars sold in this store in two months were bought by college students. Owning a private car, in a sense, is not only to have speed and increase the radius of activities, but also a behavior of the younger generation in the city to echo the new life.

38. I began to like "soaking in bars"

When People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded, bars, as the product of the bourgeoisie, were gradually eliminated. By the end of the last century, with the improvement of people's living standards, people prefer to find an emotional place to chat, drink and watch performances with friends after a busy day. The bar industry is booming, and Beijing Sanlitun and Shanghai Oriental Xintiandi have become famous bar streets overseas.

39. Mr. He, who has the money to work in the media, said that his father used to take it to the bank when he had money. Now, he has devoted himself to the "great cause" of taking the M BA exam. He plans to spend 80,000 yuan (close to the price of a car) to attend the M BA course of Sun Yat-sen University next year. This year, there are no fewer than 700 young people in Guangzhou like He Laoshi who applied for the M BA course of Sun Yat-sen University. In the current Golden Week holiday, tuition fees have surpassed shopping and become the main consumption of white-collar workers in Guangzhou.

40. The popularization and application of "e-life" such as mobile phones, pagers, computers and financial cards have directly changed the pace of urban life and improved the efficiency of citizens' work and life. "E-life" has become a real mass life, and it is no longer the fashion of a few urbanites.

The traditional methods of sending letters, sending telegrams and telex are being replaced by modern communication means such as e-mail and mobile phones, and interpersonal communication and information exchange are becoming more efficient and effective. In the past, it took 65,438+0 months for a letter to cross the Pacific Ocean to reach the United States. Now, email only takes a few seconds. Nowadays, fewer and fewer people write letters and send telegrams, which leads to "shrinking telegraph business" and "telegraphic remittance" with a history of 100 years is also "retired" in China. "Network life" is no longer mysterious, and "surfing the Internet" is no longer a fashion, but the actual needs of citizens' life and work. E-commerce, e-banking, e-money and online schools are becoming more and more popular, and online booking, shopping, consulting and other services are omnipotent, which greatly facilitates the lives of citizens.

4 1. Great changes in fitness methods In recent years, commercial fitness clubs have become popular in China, and high-end fitness centers have raced around. Some people say that this is due to the continuous breakthrough of China people's health awareness. At present, the connotation of health is constantly expanding. From keeping fit and resisting diseases to maintaining a good mental state, it has become a symbol of a person's social status.

42. The change of women's love for beauty In 2002, a health care and beauty method named SPA, which advertised "creating zero burden on the body", combined with the "five-emotion therapy" of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste, swept through China like a hurricane. At present, almost all large beauty salons in China have launched SPA beauty services. SPA has become a brand-new form of life, leisure, sports and beauty maintenance. Not only SPA, aromatherapy, sherbet, yoga, Taekwondo, Latin, ballet ... The lifestyle of women in China changes with the change of aesthetic taste. Since the founding of New China 55 years ago, China women have experienced the initial period of numbness and fear of beauty, from novelty and ignorance to rational maturity; From the simple pursuit of external beauty to the promotion of spiritual fullness, China women's cognition of beauty has undergone earth-shaking changes.

With an income of 43 million yuan, I believe people will be deeply impressed by a movie "Yamaha Fish File" in the early 1980s. A long, a young unemployed man, and Haizi, his girlfriend, jointly opened a fish stall in Guangzhou, named after the Yamaha motorcycle that delivered the goods, and became the first generation of "ten thousand households". Movies are popular all over the country, making "self-employed" synonymous with "old broadcasting" in the country. But now "self-employed" is completely out of date. According to the data, there are currently 240,000 multimillionaires in China.

44. Personal income tax is no stranger to winning the lottery. We all know that we should pay personal income tax; Singers earn a lot of money by performing in caves, and we also care whether they pay taxes locally. 1980, China promulgated the first law specifically taxing individuals since the founding of the People's Republic of China-Individual Income Tax Law. Because few China citizens' monthly salary income exceeds the deduction of 800 yuan, the taxpayers of this tax applicable to both China citizens and foreigners are basically foreigners, and only got a meager 6,543,800+0.6 million yuan in the year of collection; Since then, China has successively levied personal income adjustment tax and urban and rural individual industrial and commercial household income tax on personal income in 1986 and 1987. However, the total tax revenue of 1987 was only more than 700 million yuan, and it was still less than 4.7 billion yuan by 1993.

Sports 45. Olympic Miracle1984 On July 29th, a man named Xu Haifeng from China shot the last shot at Prado shooting range, winning the first gold medal of this Olympic Games with a total score of 566, which is also the first gold medal won by China. In the 28th Olympic Games in 2004, China won the second leading position in the gold medal list. In 2008, the 29th Olympic Games will be held in Beijing.

Employment. Since the reform and opening up, especially since the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) decided to establish a socialist market economic system, the people of China have gradually liberated from the shackles of the planned economic system, and individuals have the freedom to choose their jobs. In recent years, labor markets and talent markets have been established in various places. The Ministry of Labor and Social Security and the Ministry of Personnel have established nationwide online labor market and talent market, and tens of millions of workers change jobs through the market every year.

Foreign trade. China's foreign trade took off only eight years after the establishment of a trillion-dollar new China. By the end of 1957, China had established trade relations with 82 countries and regions. However, during the four five-year plans from the first five-year plan to the fourth five-year plan, the development speed of China's foreign trade was extremely slow, and there were even many stagnation and retrogression in the middle. At the beginning of the reform and opening up from 65438 to 0978, China's foreign trade was still immature, with a total import and export volume of only $20.643 billion. With the deepening of reform and opening up, foreign trade has developed rapidly, and the total import and export volume has doubled during the "Fifth Five-Year Plan" to the "Eighth Five-Year Plan". By last year, the import and export scale of $85 12 billion was almost equivalent to the sum of foreign trade during the third five-year plan period from the "fifth five-year plan" to the "seventh five-year plan", which was 40 times higher than that of 1978.

Rule of law. Since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, especially since the 14th National Congress, China people's awareness of the legal system has been continuously enhanced, and more and more people know how to take up legal weapons to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests. After joining the WTO, the National People's Congress and its Standing Committee stepped up efforts to improve and promulgate laws and regulations that are compatible with WTO rules. The Law on Sino-foreign Joint Ventures, the Copyright Law and the Trademark Law have been revised one after another. Together with the Patent Law, the Law on Sino-foreign Joint Ventures and the Law on Foreign-funded Enterprises revised in 2000, domestic laws are in line with WTO rules, providing a legal basis and guarantee for China to actively participate in international competition.

It can be said that since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, China has made the strongest legislation, and China is moving towards an increasingly sound society ruled by law.

Economy class. China has become the largest foreign investor in the world. In 2003, China surpassed the United States for the first time to become the country with the largest foreign direct investment in the world, with foreign direct investment of 53.505 billion US dollars. This is also the first consecutive year that China has become the developing country with the largest inflow of foreign capital 1 1.

50. China has become the world's largest producer of natural rubber, and China introduced rubber and successfully planted it in Yunnan Province, which has been 100 years. Since the founding of New China, China Rubber has planted an area of 66 1 10,000 hectares and produced more than 8 million tons of rubber, ranking fifth in the world in rubber area, and has developed from a poor rubber country to a world natural rubber producer.

5 1. The total number of scientific papers in China ranks fifth in the world. After 1999 surpassed Russian and 200 1 surpassed Italian and Canadian, the total number of scientific papers in China surpassed French in 2002, and jumped from the eighth place in the world in 2000 to the fifth place in the world.

52. China ranks sixth in the world in GDP, seventh in China's economy in 2000 and sixth in 200/kloc-0, ranking behind the United States, Japan, Germany, Britain and France. According to the long-term forecast of major developed countries in the world, China's total economic output will surpass that of France in 2004, ranking fifth in the world, next only to the United States, Japan, Germany and Britain. In 2006, it will surpass Britain and rank fourth in the world, behind the United States, Japan and Germany. 20 1 1 will surpass Germany and be promoted to the third place in the world, second only to the United States and Japan; Around 2036, it will surpass Japan and leap to the second place in the world, second only to the United States.

53. The strength of China is comparable to that of the G-7, and that of China is comparable to that of the G-7, so much so that a group of former G-7 policy makers and scholars called on the G-4 composed of the United States, the European Union, China and Japan to replace the G-7 and take on the responsibility of formulating its work agenda.

54. China participates in and gradually integrates into the world aircraft manufacturing industry. China is playing an increasingly important role in the industrial chain of the world aviation industry: it cooperates with Embraer to produce ERJ 145 regional jets, and14 of the more than 3,500 Airbus aircraft in service around the world are equipped with parts made in China. China enterprises will directly participate in manufacturing the world's largest passenger plane A380, and the rudder of Boeing 7E7 Dreamliner will all be produced in China.

Society 55. The Birth of the Middle Class Since the reform and opening up, the gap between the rich and the poor in China has widened, and a number of middle classes have been born. The public defines the middle class as: most of them are engaged in mental work, mainly relying on wages and salaries to make a living, generally well educated, with professional knowledge and strong professional ability and corresponding family consumption ability; Have a certain amount of leisure time, pursue the quality of life, and generally have certain management and control over their own labor and work objects. At the same time, most of them have good civic moral consciousness and corresponding cultivation.

It is reported that China currently has a middle class of about 30 million people. Economically, their per capita annual income reached 1 0,000 to 50,000 dollars. At present, it is mainly concentrated in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and a few cities in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta. Only with such income can we afford a decent "middle-class standard" commercial house in these places and meet the implicit standard that the middle class has at least one house and most of them have one car.

The middle class is well known, but most of them are working-class, and wages are their main or even the only source of income. For most of them, their business is to work hard for the boss, serve the boss well, and avoid falling into the new poor when the boss is unhappy.
