Chapter 340 Spring 2023 (5)

I don't regret giving up BJ's love and high salary and settling in SJZ

This is the fifth article for 2023.

On June 2015, 6, I graduated from college and rushed to BJ without hesitation, pursuing my dreams, working hard, and earning hard being penniless at the beginning to buying a house and a car later, I had more than enough the initial workplace rookie to the later industry expert, he is the initial unknowns to the later up-and-comers, the Internet can be found.

On February 2023, 2, I was tired of wandering in BJ. The youthful frivolity and enthusiasm of eight years ago had long been exhausted, so I left BJ without hesitation, settled in SJZ, Hebei, and began to live my ideal and longing. Life.

I am an amateur writer, and I have always liked to express my inner emotions through a very familiar city to another strange city, bid farewell to the past eight years and start a new one, so I have mixed feelings in my heart, and these thoughts have given me great inspiration for writing.

So at the beginning of March, I wrote two articles, "After leaving BJ, I entered a central enterprise in SJZ" and "Giving up BJ's 40 annual salary, the 40th day of settling in SJZ", and posted them on my official account and Toutiao account. Attractive, people in BJ or SJZ are willing to click to have a look.

It may also be due to the authenticity and delicacy of the articles, as well as the improvement of my writing level, so since the publication of the two articles, both of them have been featured on Toutiao’s homepage and hot searches, with more than [-] readings, compared to my previous one. I'm flattered that this article has only been read by a few hundred people.

There are more people who read it, and naturally someone is willing to interact with you. Netizens have left messages and comments under the article. Most of them support my choice, recognize my ideas and decisions, and give me a lot of are also people who use personal experience to explain that they have made similar or opposite choices to mine, and describe their current status quo, but the results are nothing more than happy and course, there are still people who doubt it, and denying it is even more cyberbullying and attacking.

At the beginning, I was very concerned about the comments and opinions of these online strangers. When I heard good comments, I was naturally happy, but when I saw doubts and negations, I was naturally a netizen left a message at the bottom of the article, to the effect that: If you care about other people's comments, don't post articles you choose to send it online, you have to accept any evaluation from anyone, be mature.

After reading this sentence, I was enlightened. Yes, it is a manifestation of my immaturity to care too much about other people's opinions and have always been a person with my own thoughts and opinions, why am I suddenly stumped by these words on the Internet?You must know that you will lose yourself if you live in the world of others, and you will not be able to find your own way if you live in the eyes of others.

At that moment, I felt that I was really mature.

But I still want to answer for the last time, those strange thoughts and doubts of writer is like a salesperson. The articles and works he writes are his own products, and the readers are the customers who enter the door for consumption. Customers have different levels of thinking and cognition, so they will repeatedly ask about the product’s quality, origin, function, etc. After-sales, etc., even if this information has already been indicated on the packaging and instructions.

As a qualified salesperson, you must answer patiently, no matter whether they buy this product in the end, like it or not, recognize this product or not, you are a salesperson, and your duty is to sell this product Make it clear to customers.

Just take me for a stubborn salesman.

Some netizens asked, why don't you go to Tianjin after leaving BJ?Many Hebei people left BJ and went to Tianjin to develop. Tianjin has the advantage of the college entrance answer is that as a native of Hebei, I will go back to SJZ in Hebei to build my there are more reasons in my mind: First, I was an intern in Tianjin for half a year in the winter of 2014. At that time, I was doing land sales in Hedong District, posting advertisements along the streets and alleys every day to collect customer District is an old city. At that time, I felt that the streets were dilapidated, without the prosperity of the municipality at I have been to more prosperous areas such as Heping and Nankai several times later, I still don't have much affection for this about it, a student who has not yet graduated from university, with a basic salary of 2 yuan per month, runs around the streets and alleys of the old city of Tianjin every day in the cold winter. Only one box of products was sold, what kind of memory and impression can I have of this city?

Second, many people left BJ and went to Tianjin to develop, but I don't like to follow the crowd when I do things. You can't measure and evaluate my approach by what many people has an advantage in the college entrance examination, but that’s about children. I’m single now, and my wife doesn’t even know where she is, so I think about my children’s schooling in the future first. I think in the long can't be that far-sighted and selfless father 's more, the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren's blessings, and the children and grandchildren's country is for him to fight by I came out of the countryside, I didn't rely on my dad. On the contrary, I felt that my dad didn't pave the way for me in advance, which inspired my fighting spirit to be self-reliant.

Third, in China, there is an obscure reality that cannot be avoided, the issue of geography and the issue of have worked in BJ for eight years, and I have lived in Shanghai, Guangzhou and other cities for a long time due to work and business trips. In addition to my previous internship experience in Tianjin, I have a deep understanding of regional you are a local, whether you have a sense of belonging in this city, whether you can integrate into this city, whether people in this city accept you, I am afraid that different people will have different dialects, eating habits, customs and culture, etc., you will eventually feel that you are out of place.

I am a native of Cangzhou, Hebei. After I came to settle in SJZ, I felt more practical and integrated than ever before. What’s more, I have a special sense of closeness to this city from time to time. I am from Hebei. I live, work and settle in the provincial capital of HEB, and I feel at ease from the inside out.

Of course, I did not reply to those netizens, but there was another wave of netizens who answered for me. For example, some netizens responded to those netizens and asked Tianjin, besides the advantage of the college entrance examination, what advantages does it have?And said it was a declining fact, no matter which city you choose to settle in, and no matter what advantages and disadvantages that city has, as long as you like it from the bottom of your heart, love it, and be able to integrate into it is like when you marry a woman or marry a man, there will always be opinions about your significant other, good or they said may be true, and they all have their own reasons, but is it important?The important thing is that you like yourself, you think this is the person you are looking for, and you can tolerate all his advantages and disadvantages.

Of course, some people say that the air in SJZ is not good, and that the smog is serious in 's more, some netizens said that they have done experiments and monitoring, and have factual data, etc. I just smiled when I read their winter in the northern cities, most of them have smog, and the air in SJZ is not good. Should tens of millions of people in SJZ escape from SJZ?Aren't they still alive and well?As for whether the air is good or not, whether you can live for a few more years is actually a definite number. If you live in a city with good air, you may suffer disaster and die in cities with bad air, there are many elderly people who live to be 90 or [-] years old.

Moreover, in the past three to five years, the SJZ government has invested a lot of human, material and financial resources and energy in the treatment of the urban environment and air. The air in SJZ has greatly improved compared to before, and we should also say goodbye for three days. It's time to wait and see.

Also, I bought a house in SJZ at the beginning of 2020. The average price at that time was per square meter, and it was a Vanke real estate with also tried to inquire about the houses in Tianjin. If I wanted to buy a house in Tianjin, I really couldn’t find the price, brand and delivery average price of houses in Tianjin Baodi, Wuqing and other suburbs is around 2 to 3 addition, house buyers need to have Tianjin social security for two consecutive years or take the talent introduction plan, and it will take a lot of trouble to be eligible to buy a didn't have that much money at the time, and I was too lazy to bother, so I didn't even think about all thought I was poor and lazy at that time, so I didn’t choose Tianjin but bought a house in SJZ.

Someone also put forward a point of view, saying that if you choose to stay in BJ, the future pension resources, benefits, and pensions, etc., are incomparable to SJZ, and I admit I'm just an ordinary person, and I'm starting to think about retirement now, thinking about my plans for decades later, I really don't have the pattern and am 31 years old this year, and the most glorious age in my life, when I can change my destiny or truly enjoy life and contribute to society, may be between 30 and 50 years old.

After the age of 50, it is really time to retire. At that time, no matter how rich you are, no matter how high your pension is, in fact, it is just the age when life quietly exits. Even if you have a golden mountain in your hand, for an elderly person How useful is it?It is nothing more than leaving more property for future generations.

For the sake of future generations, I wronged myself and went to Tianjin to buy a house, so that my children could take the college entrance examination in the the sake of future generations, working in BJ and paying social security, in order to have more pensions in the future, so as to supplement the lives of future generations, I am really not that noble and maybe I'm not a parent now, and I can't empathize with people who have families and netizens said that sacrificing one of you will make the family happy, and if you run around all your life, the whole family will be happy and don't take it seriously. Why should I be someone else's bull and horse all my life, running around for other people's happiness?

I just think that you can do what you want to do when you are young, and enjoy the life you want to enjoy when you are young. We are not cynical or do not want to make are not irresponsible, irresponsible to the family and the the contrary, only if you are responsible to yourself first, can you be responsible to others in the future and in the 's more, whether others want you to be responsible in the future, and whether you can take responsibility, are all things for later, uncertain factors, or fixed numbers.

I just want to live in this world for decades, why do I live so twistedly, I am afraid of wolves and tigers, I always wrong myself for others, I always think about what I want to do for my children, I want to be good for myself How about old didn’t realize it when you were young, and it’s too late when you’re 'm not a gratificationist, but I'm a realist, it's the real life or the actual situation, which taught me to be everyone I think is suitable for me, in line with my choice, all decisions are made by people in the environment at the time Best choice ever in May 2020, I bought a house in Tianjin without considering factors such as those children's college entrance all think I am a selfish person.

Some people also say that if you earn 40 yuan a year in BJ, you will feel the pressure of 40 yuan a month in mortgage? You earn so much money in BJ, will you be unhappy?Immediately another netizen responded to this, and the netizen replied very well, saying that the annual salary of 40 is only before tax, which also includes performance wages, bonuses and other comprehensive salaries. Actually not that see, I didn't explain the question of the previous netizen, but the latter netizen responded and answered immediately.

It can only be said that the former netizen may not have worked and lived in BJ, and the latter netizen may have worked and lived in BJ, so he can empathize with my words.

In BJ, the so-called annual salary actually has too many uncertain factors. I work in the Internet industry. Companies in the Internet industry generally pay 3-5 months’ salary at the end of the year as a year-end bonus, and at least 2 months’ salary .But whether these so-called year-end bonuses can be given to you [-]% by the end of the year depends on the company's performance and performance.

If the performance is not completed, you may not have a penny of year-end bonus. If you do not complete it well, you may be given a [-]% discount or a [-]% discount on this basis. Calculated in this way, you may lose [-] to [-] yuan a recent years, the Internet industry has suffered from involution and recession. It has become the norm not to issue year-end bonuses or discounts. The company may not make money or lose money throughout the year. How can they still give you year-end bonuses?For example, in a company I worked for, the year-end bonus was delayed for two full you have to face the risk of layoffs, unemployment or being forced to resign and pay cuts from time to can't understand it without being in BJ for seven or eight years.

For example, I have a friend who has worked for an Internet company in BJ for more than ten years since graduation, and has been in a technical management position. Their year-end bonus for 2022 has not been issued. He cut his know, he works until almost midnight every day, and it is normal to work overtime on Saturdays, Sundays and even statutory , he has already planned to leave BJ and choose a second- and third-tier city to settle down, because his child is already 2 years old, and he is facing school and education , he felt that he was ashamed of his children's company and growth by working from dawn to dusk every day.

Moreover, the basic salary is high, and your social security provident fund and tax payment are also high. In BJ, I deduct five to six thousand a month for five insurances and one housing fund plus tax, and the consumption is also give a simple example, ten yuan is enough to eat a bowl of ordinary sliced ​​noodles in SJZ, but what about BJ?It's hard to find sliced ​​noodles for less than 20 the New Year's Eve last year, I came to SJZ to have a meal with five people including my cousin, cousin, and husband. It was still a mid-to-high-end restaurant. It cost less than 300 yuan for a meal of six dishes. I was shocked at the time. For the same restaurant and dishes, it will cost at least six or seven hundred in BJ.

I have a habit of keeping accounts. Every month, I will roughly record my daily expenses, including eating, shopping, traveling, renting, etc. My average monthly comprehensive expenses are around 10,000 to 40, a year The expenditure is more than [-] yuan. No matter how much money you earn in BJ, how much money you have left is the figured it out, I can still have [-]+ left over every see, an annual salary of [-] may seem like a lot, but is it actually?Can really leave less than half.

But do you know how hard it is for the remaining 10,000+?Overtime, staying up late, crowded subways, long commutes, involuntary work, no sense of belonging in life, high pressure, fast pace, you are a spinning top every day, beaten by the company and your superiors at , the nature of my work determines that I must travel frequently across the country, even high-frequency business trips. For example, in the second half of 2022, I will spend at least 20 days a month on business trips in the south. I was tired of it three years ago That kind of wandering business trip life.

Another netizen said that if you can save 10,000+ a year, and you can still enjoy traveling at public expense with your salary and business trip subsidies, you are simply born in a blessing and don't know your Chong can't say anything, you just think I'm a fool who doesn't know what's good or bad.

Of course, some netizens raised other scattered questions or doubts, so I won’t answer them one by one. The previous two articles had more than 100 comments on Toutiao. If you are interested, you can go to Looking through my articles, there are so many it's difficult to adjust, so I don't adjust.

But I want to talk about my current life, my experience of settling in SJZ for more than 50 days after I left BJ, and my perception of working and living in SJZ after leaving sum it up, there are a lot of "very" words. I am living a very good life now, very contented and happy, and my daily life is very very handy, very income is also high in this city, and the life after work is also very don't regret leaving BJ for SJZ at I am living now is the life I have been longing for and thinking about for the past two or three years.

What kind of life is this?
When I was in BJ, I have been engaged in the Internet industry. I have worked in listed companies such as HKUST Xunfei, TAL, Jinshan Cheetah, etc. I have worked in the field of B-end and G-end for eight years. He has led and managed multiple million-level and tens-of-million level informatization projects in smart city, smart tourism and other industries, and the cumulative winning bid amount exceeds 2023 million on my previous work experience, I had the honor to join the China Telecom Publicity Research Institute on February 2, 10, and serve as the pre-sales manager of the North China region and the pre-sales leader of the HB region.

The main business of the Telecom Publicity Research Institute is divided into five major sectors, global tourism and smart scenic spots, smart hotels, smart cultural museums, smart sports, and integrated am now in charge of assisting business personnel in districts, districts and counties under the Hebei branch to promote business, including assisting businessmen to visit leaders of the Bureau of Culture and Tourism, Museums, Sports Bureau, etc., and I will lead the investigation of customer needs, output plans, and explain Plan, the subsequent feasibility study report and the output of project approval materials, bidding and other work.

Most of my daily work now is to contact me online with business associations in districts, districts and counties. After they get business opportunities and customer needs, I will first produce a PPT or Word version of the plan, and then the business will proceed with the project. Advance, but this kind of public business generally has a long project cycle. It usually takes a year and a half from the request for business opportunities to the subsequent implementation. Of course, the amount of each project is also relatively large, and the million-level project It's already a small order.

When I got the demand from the business, based on the company's standard plan and my own understanding, combined with the reality of the project, I carefully output a customized plan and won the approval of the business and customers. At that moment, I was full of a sense of accomplishment.

I go to work at 08:30 every day and leave work at 05:30, and occasionally work overtime for half an hour and an hour. The company cafeteria provides three meals a day, and the dishes are not only rich and delicious, but the price is enough for five get off work, I can take the subway for half an hour to get home, and I rarely work overtime on Saturdays and Sundays. I also rarely travel for business, and the business trips are short-distance and monthly income is more than three times higher than the average salary of SJZ, the five social insurances and one housing fund are paid in full according to SJZ standards, there is no mortgage or car loan, and I still have a six-figure savings
I think a well-off life is nothing more than 't continue to spray here, don't say that I have greater pursuits, pursue higher salaries, pursue higher positions, change to a bigger house, and buy a better fact, I have never had any pursuits or requirements for material things, just like I can afford thousands of dollars of clothes now, and I can afford to spend hundreds of dollars on meals outside from time to I have always liked to wear clothes worth one to two hundred or even tens of yuan, and the restaurants I go to most often are noodle restaurants or dumpling I have my own house and kitchen, I now prefer to buy and cook by myself, not to mention saving money on meals, and the meals I make taste the way I like.

This thought of diligence and frugality is in his bones, and he has been influenced by his rural parents since he was a child and penetrated into his mother always taught me: No matter how well you do outside, never forget your roots, be frugal, don’t compare yourself, be modest, keep a low profile, be willing to endure hardships, be down-to-earth, and be kind, have a heart of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and always do your duty.

Human genes cannot be changed. It has been eight years since I left the countryside and went to the city, but I still seem to be a rustic rural child. You all think that I have spent all these years in the city for nothing, and I have never made progress.

The ancients said that if you are rich, you will be safe, and you will always be happy when you are left BJ, did not go to Tianjin, and did not choose other first-tier or quasi-first-tier cities to pursue a so-called better life. Instead, I chose SJZ, a second-tier city, to take root all think that my thinking is more traditional and conservative, and I am a person who is content with the status quo and does not think about making progress.

But I also have dreams. I have never given up on my music dreams and media pursuits when I first went to BJ Beipiao eight years like reading, writing, music and traveling, and doing things related to mass media and self-media. These are entirely my personal interests and spiritual my eight years at BJ, I wrote lyrics, composed music and sang eight original music works, all of which were released on the three major music platforms in have written eleven full-length online novels, and all of them have been signed and listed on several leading domestic reading wrote hundreds of essays, large and small, and after posting them on the Internet, they gave encouragement and inspiration to many also shot a lot of short videos about life and travel, which were used by many netizens as life guides and travel guides.

These are the witnesses of my past years, shining brightly and radiantly.

But two years ago, the busy work, the depression in my heart, and my various dissatisfaction with my personal real life left me with no time, energy and thought to do the things I like to a person is completely reduced to a working machine, and he doesn't like this job, or even hates it, he will feel that life has no passion and I bid farewell to BJ, settled in SJZ, and started to live an unhurried and orderly life, in order to have a lot of time and continue to do what I like.

Now, after get off work in the evening, I will sit in front of the bookshelf in the living room at home to read, write, and go out at night with other day, I would run five kilometers along the Garden Expo Avenue next to my home at night. After sweating profusely, I would feel happy, and then I would go home and do a set of half-hour fat-reducing exercises. I began to pay attention to my figure manage.

On Saturdays and Sundays, I will clean up the house, take short videos of myself cleaning the room, doing laundry and cooking, and publish them on the online short video few days ago, I also excerpted and sorted out the good books I read, wrote some copywriting, and started shooting and editing videos of reading sharing and year ago, I planned to become a storyteller, share and share the dozens of good books I read on philosophy, psychology, writing, novels, emotions, history, etc. in the form of short videos. Recommended to everyone.

I finally lived my ideal life, owning my own house, and having time and energy to do what I like after work, such as reading, writing, running, and shooting short videos.

Last weekend on April 4, I also participated in the SJZ2 from Torch Square, walk along Zhongshan West Road from east to west, pass Wanda Plaza, Provincial Museum, Taylor Center, Xinbai Plaza, Martyrs Cemetery, Peace Hospital, etc., and arrive at the end at Yuxi Park. I ran the 2023km half marathon in 21 hours and 2 the way, I saw many landmarks in the city of SJZ, as well as the enthusiasm of the city's citizens and the vitality of the city. Through this event, I saw the strong organizational power of the city government and the thoughtful and meticulous arrangements and Serve.

Ten years ago, I participated in the audition in the SJZ area of ​​"Songs of China".Today, ten years later, the city is changing for the better every day.

In May 2020, when I signed a house purchase contract in SJZ Zhengding New District, I was destined to form an indissoluble bond with this was also at that time that I had already made plans to settle in this city in two or three like quietness and neatness, and the new district has this attribute. I like the ancient city and history and culture, and the Zhengding ancient city next to it is just like this.

All decisions are the best choices made by people in the environment at that time, and I have never regretted this choice.

Before 2023, I had a love affair in BJ. My girlfriend is from Sichuan. She saw that I was depressed every day and told me that if we are not happy, we can change our life in another city and return to Chengdu to settle down with told her that going to Chengdu is the same for me as being in BJ.

The girlfriend said, then we will continue to work in BJ and make more told her, what I want now is not to make more money, there is no end to making money, but there are only a few years in my youth, I want to have some time and energy to spend on the things I want to do and like.

My girlfriend said, you don't want to go to Chengdu and you don't want to make money, so let's break up.

I said, good.

This period of love that went through four seasons, spring and autumn, and stumbled all the way finally ended without a problem.

I also finally bid farewell to BJ, bid farewell to the past, put an end to my eight years of living in Beidiao, and opened a new chapter of settling in SJZ.
