How is life in Shanghai?

Life of Shanghainese:

Mainly reflected in the concept of survival, development, taste and fairness.

Shanghai people's concept of survival is: find a position with higher salary and easier work, live a comfortable life and make some contributions to the family. Although this concept of existence lacks all-round passion and height, it has a warm and realistic feeling like a small jasper.

Shanghai people's concept of existence mainly includes the following three kinds of consciousness: First, the sense of orientation. "Orientation consciousness" refers to how a person determines his own survival position and survival strategy under the background of market economy. First of all, the new Shanghainese have a strong sense of self-orientation. Shanghainese will carefully analyze all kinds of trends in the development of market economy, all kinds of tangible and intangible resources hidden in family relations and social relations, and their own talents, conditions and abilities, so as to determine their own direction and goals, and formulate corresponding survival strategies to achieve this goal.

Orientation awareness, adults in Shanghai always take pains to position their children's future efforts. Shanghainese forget to eat and sleep all kinds of necessary information, and study children's academic performance, hobbies and personality characteristics tirelessly; Strive to follow your own design plan, scrimp and save, let your children receive all kinds of amateur education, do everything possible to open various relationships, and strive to realize the survival position and survival strategy you set for your children.

Risk awareness means that people have a clear understanding of all kinds of unexpected risks that may occur in life. Life is full of opportunities and risks.

Financial management consciousness refers to the "economic mind" of new Shanghainese. New Shanghainese generally realize that under the life mode of market economy, even if one's IQ and EQ are high, one can't do without financial quotient.

Opportunity consciousness, computer, foreign language and automobile driving are the "basic skills" in modern life. Many new Shanghainese believe that "you can't hide the wolf if you don't want to have children", and prefer to spend money on computer programming, foreign language interpretation, car driving and other skills courses to create a better environment for future employment. In short, the new Shanghainese have a strong sense of opportunity, not to live for the present, but for the future.

Consciousness of further study. In the market economy, new things emerge one after another, which requires constant learning and understanding. Many college graduates feel that their business can't keep up with the development of the market after working in Shanghai for a period of time. In order to have a better development prospect, they usually "return to the furnace" or "recharge" and go back to school for further study. Some people cherish their existing jobs, use their spare time for further study, work hard for several years, and finally reach a new level; Some people simply "take the postgraduate entrance examination", concentrate on further study, and then find a job after graduation; Some people spend all their savings in recent years, go to famous foreign universities for further study, and then "kill" and go back to Shanghai to make earth-shattering careers.
