The early taxi drivers gathered in a place called “Shixia Village”. Because of their arrival, “Shixia Village” had a new name – “Gang Village”. Later, because the villagers brought fellow villagers and relatives brought relatives, more and more people from Min County, Hunan Province, gathered in Shixia Village to become taxi drivers.

Why do Hunan people choose Shenzhen? A very important reason is of course the distance. Hunan is close to Guangdong Province. Compared with Beijing and Shanghai, Hunan people who go out to fight are naturally more willing to go to Guangdong. Moreover, the transportation is convenient. Take Shenzhen to Changsha. The train has more than 50 trains a day. After the high-speed rail is opened, the distance between the two places is shortened to less than 4 hours.
In the Pearl River Delta city, Shenzhen has become the first choice because of the newness of the city. Compared with Guangzhou, Shenzhen is younger and has great demand for all new things.
It is reported that in the 1990s, Guo Yongliang, a Hunan-based university student, came to Shenzhen. He said that it was basically impossible to find a designer job in the Mainland at the time, but there are actually many enterprises in Shenzhen who need this profession. Guo Yongliang believes that this is an important reason why everyone chooses to come to Shenzhen.
At that time, Shenzhen, which started from the small fishing village, is still like a blank piece of paper. “It’s Shenzhen people.” Many Hunan people are calling for Shenzhen in this call, although they only started to help others, but Hunan people. Notoriously persistent, dare to fight love, coupled with the open environment of Shenzhen, they have all made a lot of world.
part.3 Leave or leave, this is a problem
In Shisha Village, more than 3,000 drivers in Jixian County, a small part came early to buy a house before the house price rose, even if it really settled in Shenzhen. But more will still worry about the rising rents in the villages of the city –
When the 90s first arrived, the monthly rent of a one-bedroom apartment in Shixia Village was only 600 yuan, and now it is nearly 2,000 yuan, but this is the price that is only available in the village.
The taxi driver Zhao Shifu has lived in Shixia Village for more than 20 years. Now he still lives in a rented house, but he does not want to go back to his hometown in Hunan. His current wish is for his daughter to finish reading in Hong Kong. At the university, when his daughter was very young, he took his daughter to Hong Kong. From then on, going to Hong Kong to study at university is the dream of her daughter. He believes that after returning from college, her daughter can become a real Shenzhener.
Unlike the resoluteness of Master Zhao, “Leaving or staying” has become a dilemma for the city’s hard work.
With the rising house prices in recent years, “coming is Shenzhen people”
