Do you think Chengdu is a suitable city for retirement? Why?

When it comes to cities suitable for retirement, the first thing that comes to mind is Chengdu. When I have nothing to do, I invite a few friends to a teahouse, a bag of melon seeds, and three or four old friends to sit there for a day and set up the dragon gate array. It only costs a few dozen yuan, but the happiness I get is enough to remember for several days. . Make a bowl of gaiwan tea. If you have time, gather a few people, set up a table of mahjong, and play three or five barrels of mahjong. It will completely give you the comfort of "all the joy in the world".

In recent years, Chengdu has been rated as the city with the highest happiness index. The happiness in Chengdu lies not only in life but also in the scenery close at hand. The special geographical location and the turbulent history and culture have created Chengdu’s beautiful and beautiful Pujiang County Shixiang Lake, Xiling Snow Mountain, Dujiangyan, and Panda Base. There are also historical relics such as the Tombs of the Ming and Shu Kings, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Jinsha Ruins, Kuanzhai Alley, Qingyang Palace, and Wenshu Monastery.

From a life perspective, Chengdu is indeed a livable city. However, many people think that Chengdu’s slow pace is suitable for young people to “retire in old age”. This may be a misunderstanding. Compared with Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the pace of Chengdu is slower. On every bustling Chengdu street, there are many handsome men and beautiful women. They wander around the bustling business district and share live vlogs about their travels in various places. Chengdu was once considered a "holy place for retirement" for young people, where they could make money while having fun and live a stress-free life.

Chengdu has a permanent population of more than 16 million. The per capita disposable income of Chengdu residents in 2019 was 39,500 yuan, and the average salary was 7,620 yuan/month. Even for Internet celebrity live broadcasts, the initial salary level is only slightly higher than the average salary.

Based on the above-mentioned income and salary calculations, Chengdu people who do not have to worry about housing and live a prosperous urban life represent a higher happiness index.

In my opinion, the "lazy and comfortable" life is just a superficial phenomenon in Chengdu. People who don't work hard will be homeless wherever they go. Elderly care is for the "old people". We young people must work hard and provide for the elderly. Create a good retirement environment for yourself.
