I do not deny that Shanghai is a remarkable city, but Shanghai does have many drawbacks, there are many better places in other cities, I am here to tell you very sincerely to mention the people of Shanghai are very ocean capitulation dice inside, because the people of Shanghai themselves that "the most flavor," where most of the concessions before the foreigners, including the Bund, Huaihai Road, Xintiandi, Xujiahui, Hengshan Road, as well as some of the southern Hengshan paths, in these areas, in addition to other belong to the Bund French Concession , while the Bund are the British Concession. I do not know why the people of Shanghai such a fascination with the original French Concession, Shanghai, had indeed called "Oriental Paris", but in Shanghai and Paris really can not find anything relevant to anything, even the French Concession, in fact, not by the French people, but had to build out from the White Russian.
Such as the City God Temple and the Chinese culture as the dominant place, but was cut a Shanghai people do not care, is considered Pianpian foreign place. And as it was originally also part of Nanjing Road "concession" areas, perhaps because businesses are basically assigned to a number of domestic brands, so the people of Shanghai are often reduced to "90% of foreignness" of the place, which makes good Like the people of Shanghai are not the same as the Chinese people. Do not Western foreign culture the same as "elegant," the Chinese native culture, the same as "vulgar," "cheating foreigners and people from outside the area", please.
There is a high estimate of Shanghai is really his own, and the city of Shanghai is a very common city, no less than several other major cities in the country is good, even in the country is still in the kinds of mega-cities in the lower level, this is true The. At the same time, Shanghai and many medium and small cities are not comparable, in fact, on the quality of life for many residents of medium and small cities better than Shanghai. Shanghai claims to GDP reached 4500 U.S. dollars, but it's a lot of water inside, because this number is (created by outsiders in Shanghai GDP + creating a foreigner in Shanghai, Shanghai native GDP + created GDP)
Divided by the number of Shanghai people to achieve, and if the first two removed, Shanghai's per capita GDP certainly far lower than in Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Guangdong bar. Do not put someone else as a gift to yourself what the East to create their own things, Shanghai, the overwhelming majority of people across the country and even by the people of the world's blessing ah.
Even so, how did not like Shanghai, which is actually quite let me disappointed. I do not deny that life in Shanghai is better than the remote areas, but in comparison with other coastal cities in the. . . Shanghai people's lives feel tired, but the price is too high Shanghai, Ningbo and Shanghai, the average wage higher than many, but the price level at most, two-thirds of Shanghai, showing that the material life of the people of Shanghai, Ningbo, than a lot of people poor. Moreover, like the same in the coastal areas of Beijing, Tianjin, Dalian, Qingdao, Hangzhou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, mainland China cities such as Xian, Wuhan, Chengdu, Kunming, and so although the average wage may be less than in Shanghai, but their per capita purchasing power is much stronger than in Shanghai, they are allowed to occupy the social and material resources are more people than in Shanghai, living naturally better than the people of Shanghai. Although he did not sound out, but I really feel that the standard of living in Shanghai and Urumqi in these cities is probably similar. For example bar prices, the Shanghai area house prices frequently 5,6 1000, is three times the mainland cities, even if the mainland cities of Shanghai in income is only half the purchasing power on their homes is strong in Shanghai, while the housing is measure of living standards a top priority.
Talk about Shanghai's urban construction, to be fair is really a lot of high-rise buildings, but many are empty closed not sell, in fact, one thing I am quite proud of, that is the top home buyers in Shanghai are basically we are from Zhejiang, which Ningbo, Wenzhou, particularly for multi-. There is the pride of Shanghai's night scene, in fact, worse than in Chongqing, Guangzhou, Beijing should be a length. Shanghai people are very like Huaihai Road, Hengshan Road and Nanjing Road are also some very ordinary streets, and not any better than the other large and medium cities of the commercial street, or a good Bar Street. In particular, Huaihai Road, gave me the first feeling is: It seems not as good as the East Street, Xi'an.
Last to be mentioned that the quality of the people of Shanghai, smart petty xenophobia are the old saying, and not worth mentioning, in fact, play a few years, said many cities, especially in the southern city is not much better than in Shanghai, but in everyday life, the people of Shanghai There are many places does not perform very "loophole" For example:
After first under on this basic knowledge, in Shanghai buses and the subway, were trampled underfoot, and sometimes even following the first on;
I do not know is the city of Shanghai is not the traffic class, and regulations, anyway sidewalk, pedestrian traffic lights in Shanghai, these things are OK with the hypothetical, and even bicycles disorder often see red light running;
The bad habit of spitting indiscriminately throw things not the slightest improvement, often see people spitting out the window to the car, while the classification of trash on the road did not play a role in waste separation;
Like the greedy little cheaper, and once saw a store opened the door put a lot of decorative plastic flowers, but a very short time was removed passers-11. . . ;
. . . . . .
In fact too much, said to have lots to talk about, there are more deserving of a mention one thing: There is time, I was a fellow at the McDonald's meal, this is my first time into the McDonald's in Shanghai, I and my fellow smoothly after eating pick up the plastic disc that he would waste away, and then come up with a table napkin to wipe clean - This is a habit at home, but found that many Shanghai people are like watching animals look at us, then we have was found that after eating the Shanghai people are left Wang Zhuoshang pool of human, do not blame McDonald's, where the waiter in Shanghai than in many other places. . .
I will stop here, and sincerely hope that the people of Shanghai to catch up on their own rather than rely on our people from outside to improve their living standards catch up with China's leading cities: Beijing, Shenzhen, Dalian and Hong Kong, while individual quality, a little more attention on personal hygiene, whether economic or cultural does not give the Chinese foot-dragging, thank you!
