Unknowingly, it has been two years since I came to work in Shanghai, but maybe big cities always make people feel like they don’t belong, or maybe they haven’t gotten to the point where they can fully integrate into the city. Anyway, I feel homesick unconsciously, always looking forward to the long vacation or the arrival of the Chinese New Year, because that place more than a thousand kilometers away from me is my home and has too many memories and concerns for me~

When I first came to this city, I saw so many high-rise buildings and imagined what it would be like to work here in the future. I was excited but also scared. I was afraid that this city would not be able to accommodate me, and I was afraid that a new life would be too cruel to me. I am longing and confused. I imagine that I can be prosperous in a big city in the future. I hope that I can reach my ideal height. I hope that this long journey will finally have the meaning I expected. I hope that the day I return home, I will return to my hometown with pride instead of having to give up~

I go back and forth between the company and the rental house every day, and it takes 3 hours to go back and forth. Since I first came to Shanghai, I have despised those who go to the subway to grab money. The seat holders have now become them, and feel how happy it is to have a seat when taking the subway to and from work; every time I take the subway, if there is no seat, I am used to standing close to the door, because When you get out of the car, the crowd pouring in from outside is enough to block you from getting out of the car; the happiest and most disappointing time every month is when your salary is paid. Before you are happy after your salary is paid, you have to pay back your credit card. After paying the rent, there is not much left, and my mood has changed from being happy about getting paid to being disappointed. I lament that I still earn too little and lament that life is not easy~

In the city The bustle and the flow of people make me feel even more insignificant when I am in it, but I also lament that only by stepping out will my horizons become broader, the world in my eyes will become different, and will I be more motivated to make progress. In fact, When we come here, we may just want to prove that we are better than our peers, that we are the pride of our parents, and that we have the ability to make ourselves and our families better through our abilities~

Although we live in a big city It's not easy, but we all endure and persevere, hoping to turn our reluctant life into a handy life, and turn our helpless selves into powerful selves! But sometimes I still doubt whether my choice is correct, doubt my own value, and fear that in the end I will not achieve the results I want! But when I think about every phone call with my parents, I think about the joy of sending money to them after my salary is paid, I think about the many wishes that I have yet to realize, and I think that I have not become a better person. , the courage to stick to the position has returned a little~

In fact, it is not that life is too hard, but that we are too fragile. We all work hard to overcome various difficulties, and we firmly believe that one day, we will take the The excellent and powerful self returns home with honor!

The weather is hot, remember to drink more water, don’t eat randomly, remember not to stay up late, and go to bed early so that you can have better energy to face the next day’s work! When a person works hard outside, he can only take care of himself. In addition, adapt to a life outside alone as soon as possible. Don’t miss home, but don’t forget that no matter what happens, you still have a home. I hope we can really do it sooner. Life is like what I say to my parents every time I call: Don’t worry, everything is fine with me here~

To those who are struggling in big cities, let’s work hard together,* **Mian~
