北上广不相信眼泪 想说爱你不容易(在线收听

   Before he graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology this year, 22-year-old Liu Can spent every vacation interning in a different city.

  22岁的刘灿今年刚从华中科技大学毕业,大学时期的每个假期他都会去不同的城市实习。
  “I wanted to experience each of them before settling down in one. They’re all great in terms of career opportunities, but I identified best with the vibrant and energetic vibe of Shenzhen,” he said.
  “我想在安顿下来之前体验不同城市的生活。这些城市都有很好的就业机会,但是我觉得最有生机和活力的还是深圳,”刘灿说。
  Young people like Liu attach great importance to the chemistry they have with a city. It’s a phenomenon so common that researchers decided to investigate what it means to feel a “sense of belonging” somewhere.
  像刘灿这样的年轻人更关心他们和城市之间是否能擦出火花。时下,这种现象十分常见,于是研究人员决定调查一下何为人在某地会有“归属感”。

  Academics from Sun Yat-sen University surveyed 22,991 people from seven Chinese metropolises: Chongqing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, Wuhan, Tianjin and Shenzhen. They found that residents in the first three identify most strongly with their city.
  中山大学的学者调查了中国7座城市(重庆、上海、广州、北京、武汉、天津和深圳)的22991名市民。他们发现前三座城市(重庆、上海和广州)居民的城市认同感最强。
  The research group divided this sense of identification into four categories, namely cultural, personal, status and regional identification. Put simply, these categories reflect how well a city matches an individual’s needs, both emotional and practical.
  研究小组将这种认同感分成了四类,分别是文化认同、身份认同、地位认同和地域认同。简单来说,这种分类反映了城市满足个人情感和实际需要的程度。
  Finding a city with the right combination of characteristics is valuable for young people, Zhang Zhi’an, dean of the School of Communication and Design at Sun Yat-sen University, told the press.
  中山大学传播与设计学院院长张志安告诉记者,寻找一个个性和自己匹配的城市对年轻人来说很重要。
  Traditionally, choosing a city involved weighing a number of tangible factors. But nowadays, young people put emphasis on the intangible qualities of a city, which determine how well they fit in, he said.
  通常选择一座城市需要衡量一些有形的因素。不过现在年轻人更重视城市无形的特质,这关系到他们能否很好地融入,张志安补充到。
  “In a city with strong sense of identity, its residents form a ‘we’ sentiment, recognizing with each other and feeling like part of a larger community,” said Yang Yiyin, a researcher of psychology at Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
  “在一座认同感高的城市,居民会形成一种“我们”的观念,他们互相承认彼此,并觉得自己是大社区的一员,“中国社会科学院心理学研究员杨宜音说。
  Chen Chen agrees. The 26-year-old Hunan-born architect left Beijing for Chongqing after her attempt to get a local hukou, or permanent residence permit, was to no avail.
  陈晨同意这种说法。这个26岁的湖南籍建筑师在发现无法取得北京户口之后,离开北京去了重庆。
  Without a Beijing hukou, people are not allowed to buy an apartment or a car in the city, unless they pay social insurance or income tax for more than five years. But there is no law restricting Beijing locals from making these purchases.
  没有北京户口的人不能在北京买房买车,除非他们缴纳五年以上的社保或个人所得税。而北京本地人则不用受这种法律约束。
  “Chongqing, by contrast, allows migrants to buy an apartment without a local hukou. Some even get a hukou because of the real estate they bought. The feeling of being welcomed and accepted is what attracts me more than the city’s opportunity and wealth,” Chen said.
  “相比而言,外地人没有户口也能在重庆买房。有些人甚至在购买房产之后拿到了重庆户口。这让外地人觉得被欢迎和接纳,这比机会和财富更吸引我,“陈晨说。
