2000/04/20 Sanlian Life Weekly Author: Tian Qi When northerners come to Shenzhen, they say that the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant in this place. From the point of view of the Cantonese, all the places north of Guangdong are the north. The characteristic of the northerners is that no one who arrives in Cantonese can understand Cantonese. They are the Yankees.People in the north call Cantonese the language of birds. As for the fragrance of flowers, it refers to the four seasons of blooming in warm Guangdong, and the gathering of a large number of young and beautiful girls in this southern region. Both are equally pleasing to the eye, hence the fragrance of flowers.

No matter what Cantonese people think, especially in Shenzhen, a place where the Yankees outnumber the local Cantonese-speaking people, all outsiders feel that they can be less scruples and make a name for themselves.For men, this naturally includes making beautiful girlfriends.I am such a Yankee, young and strong, while working hard to make money, I am very attentive to the girls passing by me. On the streets of Shenzhen at night, there will be some professional girls carrying small bags, waiting to do their main business.If I walk in front of them alone, I always feel unnatural, and sometimes I will blush when they stare at me.Then I went back to the residence, and when I talked about these girls with the young man who lived with me, I was very interested, calculated their income, and felt sorry for my low salary.

One night when I was taking a shower, a young man who lived with me suddenly rushed in. He was about to take a shower after taking off his clothes, looking very excited, and then went back to his room and locked the door tightly.It wasn't until he came out of the house full of ambition and sent off a strange girl that I realized what was going on: it turned out that there was a hole in the door.I asked him how much such a party would cost, but he said no money, and the way he lied made me feel that I should not ask.I think he's such a little bastard. Later, I also made a girlfriend. The tenderness and romance are the same as the story in the north.Until one day, talking about a friend of hers.She said that friend was so kind to her. She took care of her when she was out of work and when she was sick.Once both of them lost their jobs at the same time, and my friend asked someone to find a relationship, and planned to sit on the stage together.I was naturally very concerned and asked her if she had any.She looked at me in surprise and said, is it normal?He said that he would not go to another job later.

I was very hypocritical to say work!In fact, I sigh in my heart that my view is too different from this kind of work. Fortunately, Shenzhen is busy with work during the day and dating at night, so I don't have a long time to sigh. Later, many friends returned to the north for the New Year, and many friends wanted to find a girlfriend in their hometown.Talking about the situation in the South, someone said a vicious sentence: Over there, I know who is a chicken, but I don't know who is not! I think I'm so nervous that I can't believe people like me.What's worse: I usually think that quasi-jobs such as Miss Sitting are really a matter of our political party, but I have experienced it myself but whispered.This discrepancy between words and deeds makes me feel that I still haven't acquired the ability to practice well in society, and some old-fashioned rules that should be discarded are still stubbornly displayed.Even if the behavior doesn't pay off any better, there's a sense of anger that has no place to vent as I move steadily toward my 30s.
