Working in Shanghai, life is not easy here.
Hot 1 |
After graduation last year, i came to Shanghai for seeking job. In August 2014, at the end of the that summer, it was getting coole.mom helpt me pull my truck, silence and calm. On our way to railway station, the homesickness kept overwelmed me. How i want to stay at home to be with her and give up my migrant working life. However, my train was coming and i didn't wanna to make her worry about me and kept the words in heart. When it was time to say goodbye, i took the truck, with a sweet smile on my face , turned back and embraced her warmly, which was the first time we touch each other so closely. It proved later to me that maybe we Chinese people often would like to conceal their inner feelings. I called it "the second weaning" of my life.The second time for me to leave mom since the last weaning when i was a child.
Shanghai, economic center , is most prosperous international and also biggest city of China. Many people leave theri hometown to work and live here. Young people like here cause it can provide them a larger development space to work true their dreams. However, it was not right for me. The reason why i came here is simply because my good college schoolmates coincidentely are all here. If i want to be independent and make a living by myself , Shanghai is no doutly the best city for me.
Now i rented a small room with my friend and work for a private company as a foreign trade assistant. we have to pay for transportation fee (12Yuan,daily) and rent, so the rest of wage is only good enough for living expenses. Fashional clothes , beautiful leather handbay and travelling are all like luxury goods for me.
Well, this is the life i choose. Of course i know greatly the situasion must be much better if i work near my hometown. Esp when i was scolded by my boss or misunderstanded by workmates or can not bear the untidy public place（actually over ten people use one washing room and kitchen, i wanna conplain to my parents and seek for their consolation. But my reason instructs me to stop it and be strong to overcome it by myself.
Hard and painful, i did it at last. And that's what i get in Shanghai, which is so valuable for my life and can't be measured by money.
You must learn to live for yourself Bad or good, this is life. your life, you master it. Here, I expressed my deep gratitude to my college classmate and roomate now, it is theri support and companion that help me find my way.
The trivial things in life often disorder our plans and resolutions . It's a long time since i came to DioEnglish since last time, again. How are you,my dear friends here?

- Dear.... Life is not meant to be easy. There are challenges and hardships at different stages of our lives. First, you are expected to do well in studies and go to the best universities, the you are expect to get a well paid job and have lots of savings, everyone is going after these dreams, but how many succeed, only a few, right? So why make life so hard for yourself? Even if you have chosen to stay in your hometown, you would faced similar pressures. The are just no perfect jobs. At least now you are in the most advanced city in China - Shanghai, where there are quite of lot of opportunities. It is often here that you can find your ideal career and good jobs. It is not easy anywhere, but at least you taken the first step. This is a step which you must go through, otherwise, you would regret later in life that you have not ventured into other cities. Yes, you miss your parents and it is painful to leave our parents to work afar, but you can't have the best of both worlds. Nobody can say that your life in Shanghai is success or failure, but at least you have ventured and tried. Success or failure does not matter. You seem to be a practical and ambitious girl, so there is no need to think too much. Just concentrate on finding the best job, gain working experience and move up from there. You can do it.

- Yes, i know getting success is never easy esp in such a advanced city and i am willing to work hard for it but now i do not know the way i need move forward. Maybe the only thing i could do now is doing well what i should do and then find the direction in the process.
