We Henan people used to go out to work. Of course, it's the same now, but some people are tired and want to go back to their hometown and work in their hometown dialect.
They are no longer willing to go out to work, but there are no job opportunities and businesses in their urban areas. What should they do? Of course, they will go to places with employment opportunities, and there are still many job opportunities in Zhengzhou in the past two years, so many people choose to work in Zhengzhou.
In fact, Xiaoke is not from Zhoukou, he is also from Henan, but he still chose to work in Zhengzhou, in order to be closer to his parents and to go home to see his elderly parents during the holidays.
If you have something at home, you can go back the same day, work in your hometown and speak the language of your hometown. There is really a sense of satisfaction. Although it takes four or five hours to drive home from here, it feels different. I feel like I belong here.
When people reach a certain age, they don't want to be too far away from home, but want to be close to home. This is probably why Zhoukou people come to Zhengzhou to work.
