What is manila without love? This is a sentence that I often see when I come from the Philippines to study in the Philippines, so I began to pursue the story and thinking and share it with everyone.
Manila (Manila), the capital and largest city of the Philippines, is also one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, but also one of the most diverse cities in the world, the world's famous international metropolis, known as the "New York of Asia".
Chinese in Manila: It doesn't snow in the Philippines, there's no love in Manila
As a result, many Chinese have also begun to look for employment opportunities in this Southeast Asian country. In 2016, Manila's financial streets were flooded with 100,000 migrants, most of them Chinese. In 2018, as Chinese invested more in Manila, house prices rose, as did services for Chinese, such as Chinese restaurants and mall guides who spoke Chinese. The living area is concentrated in Manila's two major commercial centers, Boogie and Makati.
The story takes place in such a big context.
The meme of No Love in Manila comes from an article on the Internet titled "The Philippines Will Not Snow, Manila Has No Love" which describes the story of a couple who came to Manila, Philippines, to work hard. Men make money doing spinach, their pockets swell, they are used for eating, drinking, and playing, and they gradually lose themselves in the lights.
Desire is like quitting smoking, as long as you taste it, you can't quit it.
I don't know if the content is true, but it also represents some people who struggle with good expectations and go from slaves of money to slaves of desire. Jump from one pit to another. It's just a dream under the routine of this urban story.
In one of our previous articles. They left all kinds of nostalgia, dream expectations and life moments in the Q&A of Zhihu.
He was going to return to China, but because of her, Ah Hua, a simple and unpretentious Vietnamese girl.
He chose to stay.
Ah Hua is like most girls from Vietnam.
It's like a lily.
For the love of the heart, I am willing to give up everything. But there is also shyness, and there is also conservatism.
He didn't return home, but she had to.
Because of the problem of foreign security. Whether or not we can come again is unknown.
The unknown is terrible.
But one day on her way to work, she said to her Chinese roommate Ami,
"He and she have hope in their hearts. Hopefully, what is scary becomes less frightening. ”
(Reprinted from the author of Zhihu continue to fly the lollipop army)
<h1>Is there really no love in Manila, Philippines? </h1>
Combined with the above text, "No Love in Manila" is like a story of "North, Shanghai and Guangzhou" struggle with the exotic style of Southeast Asia. Wander in an unfamiliar city or country and find your inner comfort. Because each has a different background identity, especially in foreign countries, it is difficult to maintain this relationship.
Second, in a world where money is supreme and glittering, the individual cannot withstand temptation, and innocent and beautiful things cannot withstand the test.
In fact, it is not that Manila has no love, but under the influence of the outside world, a wavering heart.
Living in Manila, Philippines, how do you see these stories?
