Zhou moved from Central China's Hubei province to Beijing two years ago. He currently works as a programmer, earning a salary of 12,000 yuan per month, and spends 1,400 yuan per month on rent to live at an apartment in Haidian district. Zhou has moved several times since coming to Beijing and said he sometimes feels disappointed with the rental houses he finds online looking different to what they are in real life. "It's a bit lonely to live in Beijing. Since I have so much free time, I am used to playing the guitar after work," he said.
