Life after graduation: A new beginning
About 8 million college graduates have recently finished their studies and moved onto the next chapter of their lives. For those who chose to work in metropolises, such as Beijing, starting fresh often means living in rented houses or sharing homes with friends far from the city center.

Wang spends about 2,000 yuan ($295) per month, equating to a third of his salary, to rent a 20-sq-m single-story house. The area draws a lot of migrant workers because of its affordable rental prices. [Photo/VCG] |
