Give me more time, I will work hard

The interviewer and I were sitting face to face, and she suddenly asked: "Are you planning to stay in Guangzhou for the next five years?", and something seemed to explode in my head.

Usually the interviewer may ask when you came to Guangzhou and how long you stayed in Guangzhou. In fact, they want to understand your focus on choosing a work location and the stability of working in the same place.

There is nothing to fear from the facts that have been established in the past. You can have many justifications if you want. But this time I was caught off guard and asked a question, which made me feel a little unsure about the future direction.

At that time, I suddenly felt sad. In fact, I had no hesitation about this issue. The sad thing was that at that moment, I realized that there seemed to be no place to go except Guangzhou.

There is no place to say that you should leave behind everything you are familiar with, go to another city all over again, and slowly integrate into the atmosphere of that city.

We need to use the same time to integrate into Guangzhou, integrate into another city, and start normal development without any accidents. As long as you have more patience and go up, you will eventually catch up.

You can continue to try and make mistakes, but after all, you are already in your twenties. The ruthless thing about this society is that it does not give young people much time for self-exploration.

The interviewer probably noticed my embarrassment, so he adjusted the time down by a few years and asked again, "Will you stay in Guangzhou in the next two years?".

I nodded in agreement and said something about how much I liked the atmosphere in Guangzhou, ending the question. There were dark clouds outside the window, and a heavy rain was quietly brewing. Fortunately, I had an umbrella in my bag, so I wouldn't get soaked by the heavy rain.

I returned to my room at night, turned on my computer and rummaged through several hard drives, trying to find any clues that I had chosen Guangzhou for my first job.

I haven’t found it after searching for a long time. The fragments about my work have been blurred, and the remaining impression is from when I first landed in Guangzhou.

As a prospective graduate at that time, I was far less anxious about the future than I am now.

There were overwhelming slogans about escaping from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but I didn’t take them seriously. I thought they were exaggerated. I just thought about visiting more places before graduation.

The city of Guangzhou can be regarded as a transition from the student stage to the social stage, which is in line with the romantic imagination of a fledgling young man for the future before being tortured by society.

I have no memory of my first destination in Guangzhou. I landed in a hotel full of space capsule rooms, carrying my luggage in a strange place, breathing in everything fresh.

I run non-stop day and night, for fear of missing something.

The richness of Guangzhou lies not only in the fact that “everything can be eaten”, but also in the fact that you can see many unique scenery here. Canton Tower is one of them.

The reason why I am so impressed is that in addition to the time I first explored Guangzhou, the Canton Tower was the most mentioned place on Baidu online. There is also a story here. A couple made a wish at the highest point of the Canton Tower. Probability can last forever.

That being said, I have been in Guangzhou year after year, passing by the Guangzhou Library and passing by the Canton Tower, which can only be seen by looking up hard, but I have never been up there.

Like most people who try to explore and understand Guangzhou through scenic spots, they gave up the idea of ??going up to find out what the Canton Tower is after roughly knowing the ticket prices.

Cities like Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai are not that stressful in terms of pace of life and consumption, but for those who want to take root in this land, its admission tickets are still too expensive.

Earlier, I felt that in a city like Guangzhou, only the Canton Tower ticket price was unaffordable. Later, when I tried to integrate and rely on it, I found that many things were unaffordable right now.

The prerequisite for integrating and taking root is that there must be matching financial support and strength support, otherwise it is likely to be destined but not destined.

The city of Guangzhou continues to welcome new faces, and I have to pack my bags and return to my original life.
