We always say that life in China is not easy. In today's high prices, almost everything is going up. As a thing that everyone has been criticizing, we almost don't want to talk about it, but the real situation is that almost everything except wages is rising in price.

Today, with the general increase of the whole people, the comparison of life after the Spring Festival is more worthy of attention. Let's look at some real interview cases and see if the hometown of the third and fourth lines is really a cheap place in our memory.

Case 1:

Selina is a white-collar worker in a financial institution in Shanghai, and her hometown is Chengdu, Sichuan. Selina/Kloc-left her hometown at the age of 0/8 and has been living in a large brokerage investment bank in Shanghai to engage in IPO business. Selina completed a company's IPO last year and got a pretty generous bonus. She went back to her hometown in Chengdu to honor her parents. As a result, she accompanied her parents to the market to buy new year's goods and found that the price of vegetables in Chengdu was only higher than that in Shanghai a week ago. Originally, she bought vegetables in Shanghai for an average of eight or nine yuan per catty of pork, but in Chengdu, a catty of pork sold for more than ten yuan. The average price of eggs in Shanghai is about 5 yuan a catty, and the average price of eggs in Chengdu is more expensive than that in Shanghai 1 yuan. This is the case with other similar dishes. After visiting a food market, Selina can't help but sigh that it is so difficult to live in Chengdu.

Case 2:

Johnson, deputy editor-in-chief of a media in Guangzhou, is a prefecture-level city in central Shandong Province.

Johnson has also worked hard at the south gate of the motherland for many years, and now he has become the deputy editor-in-chief of a certain media, which is also a spring breeze. When he returned to his hometown for the Spring Festival this time, he always felt that as a person who came back from Guangzhou, his income level was much higher than that of his peers in his hometown. Relatives and friends at home all went to pay New Year's greetings, so after returning home, he discussed with his cousin that he could not bring some gifts to his uncles for the New Year. As a result, his cousin said, Brother, we usually buy these big things here for the Spring Festival. Johnson thought he had been away from home for many years and did as the Romans do, but after buying it, he found that these things looked unremarkable, ranging from four or five hundred ordinary grades to several thousand slightly high-end ones. After this trip, his wallet really shrunk a lot.
