In August last year, Xu took another selfie in a house that had been transferred to someone else, holding up the property ownership certificate.
It’s been nine months since the last photo was taken like this. It was November 2019. Xu Kang, a migrant worker in Lhasa, travelled more than 5,000 kilometers by train and then by plane. It took him two and a half days to arrive in Hegang.
It was the only house he had seen in the area, and he took selfies with the property ownership certificate after completing the formalities. The 28-year-old has a home of his own for the first time. Before departure, he was also in the baidu post bar “hegang ” open, all the way to update in hegang.
Xu Kang had never lived in that home for several times. The last time he came to buy a house, he slept in his room for a few days, throwing away most of the old furniture except for a cabinet and a bed. He flew back to Lhasa before he could decorate it.
More than 5,000 kilometers away, he could only look at pictures of the house on his phone. His yearly heating, a total of more than 1000 yuan, “to take away money ”. Once, he also got a call that the house was suddenly leaking.
He had been counting down to go to Hegang in his heart, repeatedly took out the property certificate, holding it in his hand. When the Covid-19 epidemic came, the hot pot restaurant where he worked was shut down, Xu Kang lost his income, his bank card balance was 0.59 yuan, and he had debts. After a few hesitations, he decided to sell the house first instead of waiting to return to work.
At the end of February last year, the house was sold for 22,000 yuan, 8,000 yuan less than when it was bought. Xu Kangting was satisfied. In August, he set off again from Lhasa for Hegang and went through the transfer procedures.
He had planned to take a real trip by the way, but he caught the last train into Hegang because of the local outbreak. He didn’t go anywhere for more than half a month.
His sale was reported, and at the height of his attention, he had a number of social media accounts, some of which were authenticated. He tried short video platform, send pictures and pictures of the record, once actively reply to the message. Later, he cancelled the certification, no longer play slowly, “doesn’t want his name on low prices above ”.
He admits that Hegang is too far away to buy a house on his own. “work and lives together that is the house, have said in the heart, can live not is a waste. ”
He says he won’t be buying another house anytime soon. For now, his goal is to work hard and save money. He did. After completing the transfer, he went back to Lhasa and found a new job cutting and preparing vegetables in a restaurant, earning more than 6,000 yuan a month. Before buying the house, he held a job for three months to six months at most, quitting whenever he had some spare money to travel.
Now, he has saved tens of thousands of yuan and has no plans to travel.
Young people still flock to Hegang and people seek advice on how to buy a house, but he never dissuades them. “after all, everyone’s choice is not the same, he bought him know that I have bought a I know. , “he reminded me buy when, in fact also have been blocked.
Some things he said later, before buying a house in Hegang, he also liked an apartment in Fuxin, Liaoning Province, he spent 10,000 yuan, and later negotiated a refund, only to be returned 5,000 yuan. He said his biggest change in the past year is maturity and composure. “after experienced it, or to pocket a little deposit ”.
He went back to his four-person dorm room and regularly searched online for local prices. This time, he focused on nearby province, shaanxi, ningxia, “must have at least the train direct ”.
He tried to erase the experience — by deleting the posts he had made in his post bar. However, he did not delete the photos of the house and stored them in his phone as a thought. He changed the cover of WeChat Moments. The big stone in the photo reads “People’s Square”, the largest square in Hegang, which is close to Lulin Mountain and Sanbao Temple, and is close to the house he bought.
He had imagined that after his stay, he would have to come to visit as often as possible.
