Which cities, though not their hometown, have an inexplicable sense of belonging?

Sometimes, Harbin has a sense of belonging to me. This sense of belonging is reflected in the fact that when I come to Harbin from my hometown, I will say "Go back to Harbin", but in fact, Harbin is not my home, not the place where I go to school, but a city where I work for a living.

I sometimes wonder why Harbin gives me a sense of belonging. After thinking about it, it may be the following reasons.

First, Harbin is a familiar and strange city to me.

My birthplace is Wangkui County, Heilongjiang Province, and Harbin is the capital of Heilongjiang Province.

The reason why I said the above sentence is not to explain geography knowledge to you. After all, I am not a junior high school geography teacher. I'm telling you this to arouse your singing.

Do you remember watching TV and listening to the weather forecast when you were a child? But I remember that I could only watch CCTV and Heilongjiang TV at that time, so I often heard the names of Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Harbin, and I often heard about the Central Street, Long Ta and the World of Ice and Snow in Harbin.

So, although I haven't been to Harbin before I went to college, I have heard of Harbin for countless times.

Therefore, when I later chose to work in Harbin, I still had some familiar feelings. After all, I have heard this name many times. Because of familiarity, I have a sense of belonging.

Second, I used to earn money to support myself here.

One year after graduating from college, I came to this strange city and began to do network operation in this city.

Up to now, from portal operation to forum operation to new media operation, from obscurity to minor celebrity, no one realized that he had met nearly a thousand netizens, peers and colleagues.

During these five and a half years, I walked very hard, but I was also very happy. After all, I ate it myself.

Perhaps because of this, I have some sense of belonging to this city called Harbin.
