Hey. I'm Kamil from Poland and I was travelling almost whole China hitchhiking, and I was living in Chengdu some time, so I think I can answer very good. About the living level in China, it's really hard to say how it is, because it's totally different in other places. But I'm sure about one thing: there is bigger % of poor people in China, and also there is bigger % of rich people in China. In Poland, I think about 5% people are poor and about 5% people are rich. The rest are living similar lives: there is no huge difference between small and big cities in Poland: of course in big cities (big cities in Poland is over 400.000 people. I think that's the definition of a small city in China) salaries are better, but cost of living is bigger. Still, we don't have so many rich people in Poland. In our culture, we don't talk about money because people think it's rude - and how people can get rich if they don't talk about money? It's much harder. We have proverbs like "money cannot give you happiness" (pienidze szczcia nie daj) or "you need to steal your first million" (pierwszy milion trzeba ukra). It's changing slowly, but still, some people (especially older people) think that way. In China I think it's different: people like to show that they're rich, and that's why you guys have so many rich people now.
So if you want to live the simple life without stresses then Poland, in my opinion, is a better place to live than China. But if you have some ambitions to have a better life, job, and more money, then China is better.
Hope I helped you.
你好，我是Kamil,来自波兰，我之前在中国搭车旅行，并在成都居住了一段时间。所以我认为我可以回答这个问题。关于中国的生活水平，很难说具体是怎样的，因为每个地方都是不同的，但我可以肯定的是：（与波兰相比）中国的穷人更多，但中国的富人也更多，我认为穷人和富人各占5%的人口，剩下的人生活水平相差不大。在波兰，大小城市之间没有明显的差异，当然在大城市（波兰的大城市人口超过40万，这在中国也许只是一个小城市的人口）工资更高，但物价也更贵。波兰的富人很少，在我们的文化里，我们避免讨论钱因为人们觉得这不礼貌-但是如果人们不讨论钱又怎么能变得富有呢？所以就更难了，我们有像"金钱买不到幸福” (pienidze szczcia nie daj)这样的谚语或是“你首先需要偷一百万” (pierwszy milion trzeba ukra)。这种观念在慢慢改变，但还是有些人（尤其是老年人）仍然这样想。在中国却不同，人们喜欢炫耀他们有钱，这也是你们现在有这么多有钱人的原因。
所以如果你想让生活简单点，没有压力，那我个人认为，波兰比中国更适合居住，但是如果你有过上更好的生活，得到更好的工作，赚更多的钱的雄心壮志，那么中国更适合。
希望我的答案对你有所帮助。 |
