Decades pass, yet real (i) ty bites hard

About a decade ago, a TV series called Woju (meaning a narrow dwelling, like that of a snail) became a huge hit among Chinese audiences.

The series depicted how hard it is for young people working and living in big cities to buy an apartment in such places.

The series' popularity can be attributed to many reasons. One of the most important reasons was that most of the houses were indeed unaffordable for young people. So, the series struck a chord.
