A Day in the Life of a Chinese Young Lady in Shanghai China

Interested in how a Chinese citizen lives in the biggest city in China? How does she spend money? What are her work schedule and weekend like? No need for cash and a wallet?

I mean when someone lose/break the phone, from the time between the phone lost until getting a new phone, how do you access your financial account? In the meantime of no phone, how to buy a new phone, commute, pay for food, do you use friend/family/relative's phone and borrow their money? I know the money on your account will be secure, but since you're not holding phone but all of the payment apps is there.

    The impression I got: Her young life is series of transactions on a phone. She doesn't have time to cook, socialize much, or do anything outside of work besides eat takeout and drink. She has to work Sundays and extra time with no extra pay, and at the end of the day she can't even save money. If life is an endless cycle of this it's no wonder so many young people are depressed.

    In almost every major city in China, the cost of buying vs the cost of renting has a significant gap. Renting is super cheap compared to buying, and the average worker can at least live in a decent place like this young lady in the video who is only paying USD330/month rent. In places like California, many people can't afford paying the rent even with a full time job and more and more people are living in their cars.

    2050 nobody can ever buy house and housing projects are only built for the mega rich 1 percent separated in isolated rich communities who are made to look down on the poor with hate whilst everybody else either lives in the streets or in shacks illegally built which the government attacks and tears down even to the point of murdering its own people. Constant false propaganda and frauds rampant everywhere. People have no choice but to commit crime and life expectancy drastically reduces. People no longer can afford kids and have grown to hate raising children and young children in general with increased child violence. The population drastically decreases which means more work to do and more division between rich and poor with the middle class becoming the working class. Society will completely fail and having a family will be almost impossible for anybody who wants to survive we are going down a terrible road and no country is doing better than any other.

More videos like this will enable North American people to understand more about China instead of just accepting biased media reports that portray a China from 50 years ago for propaganda purposes. China is very modern now.

    I don't think their lack of modernity is the issue most Americans have with China in today's climate. I think it's moreso their treatment of minorities and work culture of 60+ hour weeks for extremely low pay. However, these are issues with the CCP, and the average Chinese person should not be demonized as they have been. Much of our media takes it too far, and ends up antagonizing anyone who is Chinese, when Chinese and Americans are the same at heart. We all just want to live our lives peacefully and enjoy the things we love. Thanks for your comment.

    ​@@machina5 ​ I do not think that America is better when it comes to treating minorities. Try to go back in history and see how Chinese were treated. But the mainstream media ignore these facts. This is still present in contemporary USA. Just look at the education system. East Asians do not have same conditions as others. In usa there is not any special requirements for negros when beeing admited to collegae other than the color of their skin. They can even get a master degree without writing a relevant subject. Although east asians have higher qualification than so called ' white' ( I never understood the american definition of black and white, a lot of so called white are considered black in our world ) they are often refused admission. I am not saying that this is wrong or right. East Asians that choose to live in the USA just have to accept this or leave. I never understood why they or anyone for that matter would choose to live in usa. USA and the western world always bash China for violating human rights (their definition) and yet USA is more or less constant in war killing children, women, and unborn children. Tortur…… But it seems to be natural for Americans just as it is normal to carry guns and shoot people. Just as humans breathe, Americans kill millions as if it was drinking a cup of coffee. When I confront Americans with this they are not able to grasp it. Usually they react with ‘ what are you talking about’ . At last. What minorities are you talking about in China? Muslims ? Where did you get this information ? Yes from mainstream media ?

    This is actually the modern world in a nutshell. People buy and sell like crazy (partly because of their stressful life), living paycheck to paycheck, end up being hustlers (which makes things more stressful). At the end of the day, half of the things we buy are overpriced garbage. If it's hard to relate how it's like living in China's big cities, imagine yourself would be moving to and working in San Francisco next month - just see how much you can earn based on your skill, and how much the rent is. Just for your reference, I live in Beijing which is basically the northern counterpart of Shanghai. My rent is $1200 just for a studio (only a single room + a small toilet + a small kitchen) and I don't really have as much entertainment and fashion expenses as her. Although I earn quite a lot compared to the average person, but to buy the same apartment, it needs $1.2 million which is more than 80 years of the rent, and more than 20 years of my income without spending. To get married in China, many parents are like control freaks and ask the couple to buy their house. To have kids in China and send them to school, a two-bedroom is pretty much needed which is basically doubled the price. Also now I look at the job market, couldn't even find many positions worker under 72 hours a week. I feel like we trade our life by being working like crazy, just for like put 500 different kinds of jeans and lipsticks on the market, and not even be able to own anything real. TBH back in the 'Soviet' time at least most people can own their own apartment while going home at 5pm, and have actual life.

If you waited for people to get out, You would never get on the subway during rush hours. That just become a normal thing in Shanghai even it happens for taxi. But if you travel to other major cities with much less population like guangzhou, shenzhen. Most people stay in line for the subway because there is no need to rush.

    Overall this slows the whole thing down but individually it gets you in there. This is not egoism, however, as often judged to be by many outsiders, but instead many different local village cultures that clashed simultaneously. In many western countries, people would enter the cities in waves which could adapt to the existing city culture and influence it a little before the next wave came. In China you will observe behaviours that require synchronization and tacit agreement much less often that in most other countries.

    It's scary to think that the apps are such necessities over there. Unfortunately, I can see the very real possibility of that becoming a thing all over the world. I say unfortunately because of the immense privacy concerns it would lead to.. I think people often overlook that part but eventually as we let our devices track more and more of our lives, it will also become easier for the companies and governments to manage and control us.

But, my only point is that it is great you can earn a good salary and spend little on rent if you want to. In Europe there is no such choice. Rent is high relative to salaries and there are basically no cheap options for Joe average. All I said was something positive.
