I don’t know how the big city is defined by the questioner. Are cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen considered big cities, or cities the size of Shenyang, Changchun, and Harbin? I have never lived in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. So far, excluding the time I spent studying in my hometown county, I have only lived in the two cities of Harbin and Nanning, for eleven years before and after, five and a half years each. In my opinion , if Harbin is considered a big city, then Nanning can only be considered a quasi-large city. If Nanning is considered a big city, Harbin can be considered a megacity.
Although I often criticize Harbin on Baidu Pai and another Q&A community, criticize Harbin’s transportation planning, criticize Harbin’s economic development, criticize Harbin’s low wages, criticize the Northeastern people’s delicious food and lazy bragging, but speaking of To be honest, if we compare Harbin with Wangkui, the county where I was in high school, I think Harbin is much better. I think we can briefly explain from the four aspects of medical care, education, transportation, and world, why if For the sake of my children, I decided to settle in Harbin instead of Wangkui.
From a medical perspective, a city of the size of Harbin will have a medical university and a university of traditional Chinese medicine. Both universities have affiliated hospitals, and the affiliated hospitals are among the best in the province. For example, Harbin Medical University has four hospitals including the First Hospital, Second Hospital, Third Hospital (Tumor Hospital), and Fourth Hospital. Heilongjiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine has one affiliated hospital, Heilongjiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. In addition to these five hospitals, there are also There are provincial hospitals such as Provincial Hospital and Children's Hospital, as well as the first, second and third city hospitals...
There are simply too many to count, especially children's hospitals. For parents with children, It’s so useful. If you live in Harbin, if your child has a headache or fever, you can take a taxi and go straight to the Children’s Hospital even if you don’t have a car. But if you are in Wangkui, it is not so easy. I remember one year, I was listening to the radio out of boredom, and suddenly I heard the radio calling for riders in Longguang to go to the highway bridge to pick up a taxi because there was a sick person in the car. The Hulan children were in a very urgent and serious condition, but the taxi driver didn’t know the roads in the city and didn’t know which road would be smoother. At that moment, my heart suddenly tightened. I felt that it was not easy to be a parent, and it was even more difficult for parents living in a small place. If my child had a disease or disaster, I would be anxious to death.
In terms of educational resources, there are only two high schools in Wangkui, one is the city’s key high school and the other is the county’s key. The so-called city’s key high school is the high school I attended. Since 2003, one None of them were admitted to Qingbei. But in Harbin, a good high school like 369 is right next to your home. Your child’s goal when entering junior high school is not to be a key high school in Suihua City, but at least to be a key high school in the province. No matter how ambitious you are, Yes, it has to be No. 369 Middle School after all. If your child goes to Harbin No. 3 Middle School, which is the middle school where Li Jian graduated, at worst he can be admitted to a key university, as long as he is somewhere in the middle. Damn it, going to 985 is so easy and enjoyable.
As for transportation, although Harbin is very congested, and although garages and oil are expensive to own a car, if you don’t want to own a car, you can still choose public transportation, such as buses, subways, and Didi. , private cars, and private bicycles couldn’t be more convenient. If you want to travel to other places, you can take long-distance buses, green trains, express trains, high-speed trains, or airplane. If you are in Wangkui, you can only choose to drive or take a bus. There are 5 trains that can depart from Harbin Railway Passenger Station: Harbin Station, Hadong Station, Xiangfang Station, Habei Station, and Haxi Station. Station, and Wangkui doesn’t even have a passing train station, let alone an airplane.
Finally, let’s talk about the world. If you live in Wangkui, the things your children can come into contact with in the county are extremely limited. The various theatrical performances and various technologies that can be seen in Harbin There are no venues in Wangkui!
