Let yourself try to integrate into the city

Liu Jinxing, 22 years old this year, is from Liujiazhuang, Huantai Town, Jiaonan City. He is currently working in a medium-sized hotel in the southern district of Qingdao.

He told reporters that at the age of 19 he came to Qingdao from his hometown and has been here for four years.

I have a monthly salary of 1,600 yuan, eat a working meal, live in a dormitory arranged by the hotel, and we can save 800 yuan per month and deposit it in the bank."

“We are a small village in Liujiazhuang. There are 400 people in the whole village. Young people account for one-third. Most of them have come out to work like me. Some went to Jiaonan, some went to the development zone, and some went. Chengyang, the places to stay are mostly garment factories, candle factories, wig factories, etc. There are not many people working in hotels like me.” Liu Jinxing said that the young people in their villages are not very high-educated, young people of the same age.

I know that the people in the city are asking too much, and I am afraid that they are not worthy of others."

Speaking of plans for the future, Liu Jinxing’s words made the reporter somewhat surprised. “I plan to go back to my hometown to raise bees when I am a little bit of money. When I was young, I learned it with a master because I felt fun. Now I want to use this to earn some money.”

I have spent more than 15,000 yuan on my own work for so many years. It is almost enough." Venus said that it was too difficult for him to settle down in the city. The high prices and prices in the city made him wonder.
