Discussion Where will you choose to stay after graduating from the univercity, the big cities like Beijing, Shanghai. . . or small ones like your hometown? Why or why not?

Dear Bob, How’s everything going? In your letter you were asking about a common phenomenon in China that a great number of workers return home from big cities. In my opinion, many factors contribute to this phenomenon. Firstly, the economic depression leads to high unemployment rate and many workers find life difficult. Secondly, they aren’t capable of buying a house of their own in big cities so they will return home sooner or later. Thirdly, the competition is intense in big cities. Besides, the development of small and medium-sized cities attract them. Considering these factors, I can only say that the government should take more measures to response to the homecoming tide to keep society stable.
