It’s so cheap that it’s allowed Chen to retire at the tender age of 28.
what the sweet fuck
Most large Chinese companies, especially high-paying tech firms, requires a work schedule of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. from Monday to Saturday

Yea 996 is a fuck and isn't even legal

Gross overstatement. It was an issue affecting ~40 of the largest tech firms during peak tech boom.(2016-2019) Was ruled illegall in 2021 and further protections and enforcement are being put in place on 996 and illegal overtime in general with the 2025 Consumption Boost Plan alongside further solidifying a more comprehensive social safety net and worker protections.
From what I've seen in similar articles the people interviewed usually moved out from Tier-1 cities in 2020-'21, just before things like an overheated housing market and 996 started being addressed.
Gross overstatement.
i am shocked. SHOCKED.
Some are flocking to places like Hegang, a cold and remote coal mining city in northeastern China famous for shockingly cheap housing prices. [...] A one-bedroom apartment can be bought for $3,000, and $13,000 can buy a roomy four-bedroom place.
Depending on expenses that month, 2/3-3/4 of my cost of living is rent.

still has an urban population of 750,000
Goddamn, I wish I was born in China so I could move to China's Mega-Pittsburgh
But do they have iPhone????
Oh.. they do and better?
Well what about pedophiles that control every facet of their existence?
$13,000 can buy a roomy four-bedroom place.
By "buy," they mean annual rent, r-r-right? Everyone knows houses cost like $500,000 for 500 square feet.
That would still be under half my rent for a one bedroom 
Please Xi my people yearn for freedom
Yeh my early 30s friend retired to chengdu from bj and has actually saved up enough to travel to Spain for a year, too
One thing I’m interested about is with the growth of high speed rail, how accessible these places are from the nearest major city. China seems to be a great case study in how HSR can spread development and wealth between urban centers and peripheral areas
