Dacheng Road in Fengtai District, near Weijia Village.

Wang Lu, who has been drifting in Beijing for five years, still lives in a cheap underground compartment. She has a rare day off on weekends. She and her boyfriend Du Tianfeng stroll in this bustling city.

Although the housing prices in Beijing fell by about 24%, the high price is still not affordable for two people.

As soon as they graduated, they looked for a job in Peking and worked hard in Peking for five years. Although they saved nearly 450,000 yuan in savings, their lives were still tight.

As we walked, we came to the vicinity of the Happy Water Cube. The passenger flow here was quite crowded on weekends, and neither of us had the idea of ​​joining in.

Wang Lu sat on a bench under the shade of the tree, took a sip of boiled water, then looked up at the sky and closed her eyes and said, "I always feel that it will be out of place here. Tianfeng, let's go home and get married!"

"...Uh?" Du Tianfeng was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "Xiaolu, are you really planning to go home and get married?"

Wang Lu asked calmly: "Otherwise? Are you planning to move here to Beijing for the rest of your life?"

The two of them calmed down and looked silently at the crowded streets. The city made of steel and concrete was like a cage, locking everyone who came here.

After taking another sip of boiled water, Wang Lu said disappointedly: "We are like a gear, but just a part that is dispensable in this city. There is no soil here that allows us to return to our roots, only cold cement ground."

"But I've just been promoted. Maybe I can get enough of the down payment in a few more years." Du Tianfeng was still unwilling.

The current housing price in Fengtai District is about 23,000 yuan per square meter. If you buy a 100 square meter house and add a loan, the down payment will be about 700,000 yuan. If you pay in installments in 28 years, you will have to pay more than 9,000 yuan every month.

"Tianfeng, have you calculated the housing prices in Cangzhou?"

Du Tianfeng took out his mobile phone and found the housing prices in his hometown Cangzhou. He found that the prices of real estate projects in Cangzhou were relatively low, especially the first commercial housing purchased by Feipeng Group, with an average price of 4,320 per square meter.

The two of them have a savings of 450,000 yuan, which is enough to buy a 100-square-meter commercial housing. Moreover, the commercial housing of Feipeng Group is not calculated for the common area and the 100-square-meter usable area is enough for the couple to live.

Du Tianfeng looked at the time map again. In fact, his hometown is Qing County, Cangzhou, and the straight-line distance from the Beiping urban area is about 145 kilometers, and the expressway is about 180 kilometers.

In addition, Feipeng Group, China Railway Group and Postal Group have recently expanded the North China suspended light rail network.

The suspended light rail from Qingxian to Beiping is expected to be completed by the end of this year. By then, the suspended light rail distance between the two places will be only about 166 kilometers, and one trip will only be 30 to 50 minutes.

He checked the passenger fare of Feipeng Group, which is usually 1 yuan within 5 kilometers, and then add 1 yuan for every 10 kilometers.

The whole journey from Qingxian to Beiping is 166 kilometers, and the price is 17.1 yuan, which is cheaper than taking a taxi. In addition, he is a member of Time Blog, so he can get a 15% discount.

You can work in Peking and then live in your hometown.

After figuring this out, Du Tianfeng said, "Xiaolu, I have already decided, and I will go home to buy a house and get married."

"Are you sure?" Wang Lu stared at her boyfriend with bright eyes.

Du Tianfeng felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it, and he expressed his thoughts: "The hanging light rail in Qingxian and Beiping will be opened. It will only cost more than ten yuan at that time. At the worst, I can get up early and I can get to the company before 8 o'clock."

"That's true." Wang Lu suddenly realized.

The explosive development of technology has broken the distance between cities and blurred the boundaries between cities.

Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen and a number of provincial capital cities, with the construction of high-speed rail, light rail, super highway and undersea tunnels, the traffic speed between each other is getting faster and faster.

For example, the Pearl River Delta and eastern Guangdong region that were first to develop regional integration, from Chaozhou to Pengcheng, from about 60 to 90 minutes.

Shanmei, which has the most complete infrastructure built by the Suiren Group, went to Pengcheng, Yangcheng, and Guancheng within half an hour.

The emergence of the one-hour economic circle has made it difficult for the housing prices in big cities to maintain high prices again.

The super-large academies, welfare homes, and hospitals are blooming in second-, third- and fourth-tier cities, further weakening the advantages of large cities.

At present, only a part of the economic advantages remain in big cities. Of course, the plummeting housing prices, from another perspective, is conducive to industrial development.

This trend is conducive to the development of small cities, and population return is such as promoting the improvement of local consumption power and promoting the vigorous development of the service industry.

Many new small enterprises no longer gather in big cities, but choose small cities 50 to 150 kilometers around big cities.

Because within an hour's economic circle, it can actually be equivalent to working in a big city, while living in a small city does not need to be too high.

If you work in the Suiren Group, Huawei or a state-owned enterprise, then you will actually be similar everywhere. These companies are basically one and are not affected by market fluctuations.

The individual service industries that depend on these internal circulation enterprises are also developing and aggregating rapidly.

The development of high-speed transportation, such as forcing big cities to decline, will not be irreversible unless the development of high-speed transportation is prohibited.

Of course, this development trend is actually an opportunity for big cities to rebirth. The key is to find your own position. After squeezing out the water in housing prices, big cities still have certain talents, infrastructure and economic advantages.

However, in this process, if you cannot establish your own positioning, it may decline quickly.

Peiping is restless. After all, there are natural advantages here, but other big cities may not be the case.

If young people like Du Tianfeng and Wang Lu are moving towards small surrounding cities one after another, it is an unstoppable trend.

The development of technology and infrastructure and the awakening of people's thoughts have brought about an inevitable wave of anti-urbanization.

After the two made up their minds, Du Tianfeng applied to the supervisor for two days of rest and took a taxi back to Qing County, Cangzhou.

Qing County is located between Jinghai District of Jin City and Cangzhou City, where the roads, railways and the Grand Canal pass through.

The large-scale investment of Suiren in Hebei Province at that time has led to a very fast development in the local area over the years. For example, one of the electronic products OEMs of Long Totem is located in Cangzhou urban area.

Back in his hometown again, Du Tianfeng took a breath of fresh air, and the local environment became better and better, and no longer had a grey feeling like before.

Obviously, the development of environmental protection technology over the years has increased sufficient water resources, turning Qingxian into a real green water and green mountains.

Du Tianfeng's parents were farmers and had a house in the countryside. After he settled his luggage at home, he and Wang Lu went to the county town with Wang Lu.

When it comes to buying a house, the two people have a very consistent opinion, that is, first look at the property of Feipeng Group.

I took the light rail and went directly to Feipeng's local sales office. After the salesperson took two people to the building, I visited Feipeng's commercial housing.

This 112 square meters commercial house has been renovated inside. The house with zero common area looks very large inside.

In addition, after purchasing a house, you can buy electrical appliances, cars and other products from major franchise brands, and you can get a one-year 20% discount.

After seeing 6 houses with different decoration styles, Du Tianfeng and Wang Lu finally chose a house with a sci-fi style.
