Big city

Setting: China.
The financial crisis came, the middle class collapsed. The lavish cities used to be busy, crowded to suffocating now empty, not even a shadow.
"The new poor" - the call of people who have been in the middle class now sinks into debt, can't even self -care about their own meals.
These people dressed well, driving luxury but could not have a few hundred yuan in the wallet. The price of everything decreases, the houses used to cost ¥50,000 per meter now only half.
Students graduating from prestigious universities competing to deliver goods but even these professions become very competitive.
Even so, people are constantly ambition. Girls still ask the boys to have a home, a car has paid off the debt. Must buy expensive clothes and bags for them while those girls themselves have nothing in their hands.
This makes the boys gradually become depressed, they do not want to love and get married anymore while the girls become very urgent when no guys wants to spend money for women anymore.
Lucky, ordinary families which are not poor but do not have many assets to lose are the most stable class. They have money but not enough to fall into crisis, they still have to saving but their live are enough stable. Still, they're have to be careful too because they could lost their job anytime.
