Life is difficult for young boys in beijing.
Boys especially of my age are facing their first difficuty after stepping out of school---housing problem. In the recent years , house price in Beijing soars as if it took a rocket. We Chinese harbor the conception that male should offer a house when considering marriage. However housing problem in beijing means you should have 20-30 million yuan. On the other hands, it means you should be born in a rich familly. For too many boys in ordinary famillies they have to fight hard their whole life for a house in beijing. For someone whose salary is just so so, maybe one whole life is not enough.
In my opinion ,it is not fair for boys. The reason why we Chinese have this conception maybe because in ancient times boys were sent to school or to farmland to learn how to offer the whole family food and clothes. While girls were thought to be at home taking care of youths and olders, they didn't need to and did really have no idea how to make money.However ,everything changes a lot today, girls are sent to school as boys ,and they are taught the same as boys.After school life they will have a job, girls are weak when competing for a job with a boy of the same ability.However,this little advantage brings an accommodation note of 20-30 million yuan at the same time.So girls and their parents should be shame asking for a house when considering marriage.It is difficult for any ordinary family no matter they have a boy or a girl.
Young men can choose to live in second tier cities if they cannot afford lifes in beijing. And the goverment should do someting to suppress the bubble economy.Life should not be so hard for young boys.

- Life should not be so hard for young boys.Life shouldn't be so hard for anyone. We're humans for Christ sake. We're supposed to live better than wild animals. It's hard to believe that even rats and snakes have holes of their own, free of charge. Hmm...Talking 'bout the wildest animal on Earth.

- you really raised a real even curel reality for youngers living in the first big city. according my known, the youngers just stepped out their campus in Bejing the income is not so high to burden a small house. my nephew worked for 2 years in Beijing, his yearly income only 80000-100000yuan, a big big gap still eaists to buying his own house to marriage. at least 10 years to suffer. better is his parents gave him a small house instead of his own power. but to our chinese family, i think this's not a pleasure.maybe the middle city is a good choice to live a good level,but no youngers willing to . really difficult.

- It's very kind of you to think in another one's shoes. There is no absolute justice in this world, ancient or modern. Each of us should know what common sense really means. That is, we must admit that somethings are really beyond us, be it at present or in the long run. You know, I live in the countryside and my house is cheap, even though, I could afford a better one. By living cheap and within my means, I am at ease and not obliged to burn the midnight oil in order to earn more. This is your first blog and it's a good one. As an old guy, allow me to give you some advice.My comments are as follows:
difficult, step.... difficulty ...stepping out,, At least using the right form, a gerund or a noun.
"boosts" might be replaced with "soars"
" struggle" ...."fight hard"
food and cloth,,,, better with "food and clothes"
