Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Disappointed, so disappointed!  This is Ye Yiren¡¯s evaluation of the world¡¯s largest metropolis, which claims to have a population of 56 million.  ¨Iw. Before arriving in Shanghai, she was shocked by the number of permanent residents. It must be known that the permanent residents and migrant population of the overcrowded Shanghai in later generations were only 25 million.  It¡¯s already overcrowded with people and cars!  I really wonder what a crowded Shanghai with 56 million people will look like?  But when Ye Yiren, as a "new Shanghainese", arrived in the hometown that had haunted her for many days, she found that Shanghai was actually sodepressed!  Yes, it¡¯s a depression!  There are not many pedestrians, there are no traffic jams, and the subways and light rails are not crowded. There are always a quarter of the shops on the streets in the city center with rolling shutters and signs saying "Store is closed" - the same situation exists in Ye Yiren.  I have never seen China in another time and space, but I have seen it in Europe, which is plagued by high-welfare diseases.  But what disappoints Ms. Ye the most is that the high-rise buildings that are the symbol of a super city are actually quite rare. The most common buildings on both sides of the road are two- or three-story buildings crowded together - of course not from another time and space.  The high-end atmosphere and class of the villa area are just for the residents to buy a piece of land and build a small house.  Therefore, the buildings are not neatly built, and there are all kinds of houses, tall, short, fat, and thin. Some of the houses look very dilapidated and unsightly.  The large-scale high-end communities that are very common in other time and space basically do not exist here.  Most of the houses here don¡¯t even have yards. Most of them have small shops on the side of the road, and the small ones are directly at the door of the house.  It's either a security door or an ordinary wooden door or glass door obviously there is no sense of security.  It seems that being a thief is a promising career in Shanghai in this time and space!  Because in addition to residents¡¯ poor anti-theft awareness.  The number of policemen seems to be very small, and the mighty urban management seems to not exist.  But what makes Ye Yiren very puzzled is that when the urban management officials disappeared without a trace, the vendors on the streets of Shanghai also disappeared.  Walking on a sparsely populated road near Wusong River, Miss Ye looked around for a long time, but she didn't find any stall selling pancakes Don't Chinese people in this time and space eat pancakes wrapped in fried dough sticks?  "Kids, where is the subway station here?" I spent 5 cents and 4 cents in a small supermarket (by the way, Ye Yiren went shopping in downtown Shanghai for two days and didn't see many big supermarkets) (including 4 cents)  The cent is consumption tax) and I bought a big meat bun with a lot of meat.  After spending another 1 yuan and 8 cents to buy a box of milk called "Sanlu Brand" (I don't know if melamine is added? But the taste is very good), after having a breakfast, Ye Yiren stopped her on the street.  I asked for directions from a little boy wearing a school uniform and carrying a bag on his back.  There are many subways and light rails in Shanghai in this time and space, and it is very convenient to transfer. There are dense subway lines in several urban areas (Shanghai is very large, including almost half of the southern Jiangsu Plain, so it has multiple urban areas).  There is also a circular light rail connected to the subway, and a circular light rail connected to the intercity light rail.  Unlike another time and space, China's railway passenger transportation and freight transportation in this time and space seem to be separated, and light railways are responsible for passenger transportation.  The lines are very densely laid out and there are many buses.  It is very convenient to ride, similar to the subway, and there are no security checks (it seems that there are no True God terrorists in this time and space, and I don¡¯t know what Bin Laden and the others are doing?).  However, the speed of light rail trains is not very fast. The fastest speed is only 100 kilometers per hour (divided into three speeds: extremely fast, express and ordinary according to the number of stops), which is far from comparable to high-speed rail in another time and space.  In addition, there is a kind of long-distance intercity transportation in this time and space that Ye Yiren has never seen before - airships. Each one is fat and flies in the sky. It is said that the speed can reach more than 200 kilometers per hour.  "Where do you want to go, eldest sister?" the little boy asked Ye Yiren politely.  "Go to Guangfu North Road." Ye Yiren replied with a smile.  The area around Guangfu North Road is the most prosperous area in Shanghai at this time and space, and may also be the most prosperous commercial center in the entire Greater China Empire. There are many high-end department stores and restaurants.  It is not far from the youth apartment provided by the government where Ye Yiren rents - the Shanghai government in this time and space seems to have a large number of rental properties in its hands that can be rented at low prices to young people who do not plan to buy townhouses for the time being.  Most of these properties are located in urban areas. The area of ??each unit is small, but the facilities are complete and the rent is low. You can rent a small suite with an area of ??20 square meters for 200 yuan per month, and water, electricity, gas and Internet are all free.  Such low rent and open supply policy surprised Miss Ye, who had just arrived. She couldn't figure out how the Shanghai government could have so many real estate properties. Only after she lived in this time and space for a period of time did she figure it out.  The reason is that the Chinese government in this time and space does not pay attention to the issue of food security.In my heart, I allowed the metropolis to expand infinitely.  The urban area of ??the five major cities including Shanghai, Yingtianfu (Nanjing), Guangzhou, Tianjin and Shuntianfu (Beijing) is more than 10,000 square kilometers!  Moreover, there are dense subways and light rails connecting the city's commercial or industrial centers with relatively remote residential areas, making people's travel extremely convenient.  At the same time, the Ming government in this time and space would impose high special real estate taxes on luxury residences with low floor area ratios in the five metropolitan areas, making the density of housing in metropolitan areas relatively high. Whether it is a single-family house or a high-rise apartment, few  Large yard.  In such a crowded residential layout, parking spaces have become very rare and parking fees are high. As a result, most residents living in urban areas do not buy cars and are accustomed to relying on convenient and punctual public transportation.  As a result, the roads in metropolitan areas are less congested.  Another reason why there are fewer vehicles on the roads in metropolitan areas may be that Chinese parents are too lazy to send their children to school in this time and space Well, it is a bit irresponsible and they are not afraid of being trafficked by bad people.  "Little brother, you take the subway to school alone!?" When a little boy who was probably only in the first grade enthusiastically expressed that he was going the same way as Miss Ye and could take her to the subway, Ye Yiren felt once again  Surprised.  "Where are your parents? Why don't they send you to school?" "Send?" The chubby little boy was stunned for a moment. "Sister, I am already a primary school student. How can I ask my parents to send me to school? I will be criticized by my classmates.  "What if I get lost?" "Lost?" The little boy pointed to a row of small words embroidered on the school uniform, "There are my name, home address and phone number. They won't be lost.  " "But there are cars on the road" Ye Yiren looked around, and there didn't seem to be many, and there didn't seem to be any pedestrians jaywalking, and there probably weren't any cars running the red light, right?  "Aren't your parents afraid that you will be caught and sold by bad guys?" When walking into the subway entrance, Ye Yiren curiously asked about the security issues in China in this time and space.  "Catchsell?!" The little boy's eyes widened, "Can there be such a bad person?" "No?" The little boy shook his head, "No one has ever heard of it." 'Could it be that this time and space  Don¡¯t the bad guys know there is trafficking?  ¡¯ At this time, Ye Yiren had discovered that there were many children going to school on their own in the subway¡ªall the children wearing school uniforms and carrying schoolbags took the subway to school by themselves without an adult escort.  In this time and space, the Shanghai subway still has the concepts of monthly passes and daily passes, which naturally offer discounts.  In order to travel around his hometown, Ye Yiren bought a one-month ticket for light rail, subway and bus at the light rail station at the airport.  And because the little boy is a primary school student, he can take the subway for free.  Therefore, the two of them entered the station directly without going to the ticket vending machine to buy tickets.  It's the rush hour for commuting, and the subway station seems a bit crowded, with many people rushing on their way.  Ye Yiren has been quietly observing the Shanghainese in this time and space for two days - they are in a hurry in the subway and light rail, even the gray-haired old man walks very fast, well, this old man in Shanghai seems to  A little more!  Outside the subway station, most Shanghainese people are relatively laid-back.  Students don't seem to be under much pressure from homework. You can often see elementary school students and even kindergarten children being taken out to play (actually extra-school activities) by their teachers on the street.  After 3 o'clock in the afternoon, many girls in school uniforms can be seen shopping in twos and threes on several pedestrian streets in the city center - it seems that they do not plan to take the entrance exams for key middle schools and universities to become white-collar workers.  Of course Ye Yiren doesn¡¯t know that in the primary and secondary schools of the Ming Dynasty, boys and girls have completely different academic pressures In addition, the clothes of Shanghainese in this time and space also make Miss Ye feel weird.  It seems to be the ancient costumes on TV, but they are improved and incorporate a lot of Western style. Some people are wearing clothes that seem to be modified Japanese kimonos. I don¡¯t know if they are the kind of Japanese who forget how to speak Japanese.  ?  Of course, most people still wore clothes that looked normal to Ye Yiren.  The subway in Shanghai in this time and space seems a bit old, but the stations are very clean and tidy, and no one litters - throwing garbage is also a troublesome thing. In this time and space, Shanghai's garbage classification and disposal seems to have become a habit - of course  There are no cleaners constantly cleaning. After two days of shopping in Shanghai, Ye Yiren has not seen many road sweepers!  I really don¡¯t know how this big city is kept so clean and tidy?  Just when Ye Yiren was thinking about these weird questions, a subway train that looked a little old roared into the station (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
