What is the experience of working in Shanghai?

The real feeling of working in Shanghai is particularly tired and full of powerlessness. It seems that there is no other life except work. Moreover, the salary is particularly low, and there is no energy and money to socialize.

I just graduated and went to work in Shanghai with a salary of less than 5000. In order to save the rent, I rented a single room in the suburbs far away from my company, with a monthly rent of 1600 yuan. However, it takes two hours to go to the company and get up at five o'clock every morning. I often have to work overtime at night, and there is often no through train to go home, but I am reluctant to take a taxi. I can only drag my tired body and take two or three trains home.

Every time this road makes people feel very tired and unable to cry. Although Shanghai is very big, it seems that only this small single room belongs to me, and it seems that this small single room can't hold me, especially when I have to pay the rent every month.

A person in Shanghai has no friends or money. Because he is a new employee of the company, I am responsible for all kinds of miscellaneous things. I finally had a rest at the weekend. I just want to stay at home and go shopping without company, so I can only eat takeout at home. Every meal and transportation expenses should be strictly recorded, carefully calculated every month, and occasionally funded by family members.

I often feel unbearable, but when I get up every day, I feel that I must work hard to stay in Shanghai. It's really hard to be alone in a big city, but it seems full of hope. Even if I am tired again, I want to stay in Shanghai and live my own life.
