This guy has been in Shenzhen for 4 years. He told me that he had changed several jobs. His salary has increased but he still can’t afford to buy a house in Shenzhen. And he is still single. Now he is planning to get back to his home town. I asked him why he came up with idea. He told me that he couldn’t see his future in Shenzhen. It is true that there are many chances in big cities. However, you have to burden high pressure too. The competition is fierce. And you can never buy an apartment based on your salary. In his hometown, the living cost is much lower than Shenzhen. The housing price is cheaper too. He seems to be tired of living in Shenzhen. Obviously, he can’t realize his dream there. If you were him, would you go back or just stay in Shenzhen, a very developed big city?

If you are not happy, then you should have a dream, try it and then one won't feel regret when they get old. Or at least you could say to yourself that you tried. And to someone with very strong emotion and everything, he or she could stay wherever they are with their dream and make it come true...
