It is almost as if Chinese people here are from 2 different worlds. One is the world where 100000 RMB per year is good money, the other is the world where 1 million is casual. Its like watching 《101次求婚》. Guess it is true, that Chinese are too diverse and the mental gap between different regions is too big to address with same policies even in something as small as urban planning.
I think I'd probably never live in the east coast if I didn't have to for a job. One of my cousins moved to Shanghai for work, married Shanghainese, now his thinking is 100% Shanghainese, can't relate to him whatsoever. He is now under the total control and management of his wife who hates me lol. Another of my cousins married a Jiangsu guy, now shes divorced because her husband is a fking gambler scum that put them into debt.
Here in Shanghai the living standard is really high, million-yuan cars everywhere, million-dollar houses barely entry level, that's was unbelievable back in my father's youth. Relax bro, coastal cities' advancement belongs to all Chinese people, providing role models for inland cities, and will move on to seek parity/surpass with world best cities like Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore.
