The private prosecution of Chinese “ant tribe”

Do you know what “ant tribe” is. In Asian countries, this is a hot and new word in dictionary; also it is a hot topic during our daily life. “Ant tribe” is means a group of ordinary people who is an ordinary worker, maybe they are new graduates, they have a lot of common ground. They working hard, but the salary are not enough to offer the home loan, the education fee of children and the daily living expenses. The quantity of those people is huge. Their lives are very hard. There is a funny analogy for this big part of people----ant tribe. As we know, ants are always a kind of powerful insect. They can undertake a weight which is 100 times more than themselves. We can easily seeing there is a big cloth-wrapper on their back. So does the “ant tribe” group.

As one of the “ants” I have a deep feeling about ant’s sorrow. I graduated from college this year. The first trouble is finding a job and makes a living. Finally I got a job which is similar to my major; most of my relatives think I was lucky. Second trouble is I have to rent a house, even though the standards of consumption here is not very expensive, I still feel very hard to afford the rent. Including the utilities I have to pay 800 Yuan to my landlord. This is almost half of my salary. The third trouble is my daily living expenses. The cost on three meals a day is about 20 Yuan, 600 Yuan per month. Then I have to prepare some necessary working clothes and shoes. When I have a boy friend, we have to plan to buy a house for our marriage, as you know that is a huge consumption in central city of China. Sometimes, these statuses make me suffocate. When I have a child, the tuition fee is as expensive as the home loan. The tuition from primary school to university, at least need 300,000 Yuan. An ordinary office clerk’s salary is about 2000 Yuan per month. How can we live depend on the little money?

I also sum up some saving tips. First, rent a house as small as I can, the smaller the cheaper. Second, buy the living necessaries at the end of the day. At that time, many vegetables are on sale. Third purchase the clothes and other necessary items on dinodirect.com. Since the price there is attractive and offer free shipping, I love that online shop. Fourth don’t waste your money on some discount but useless products.

As an ant, I still work hard to make my dream come true. I know life is not easy, so I never give up my original dream. To be a happy ant, Thanks for your kindly attention.
