In China's biggest cities, a growing number of young graduates aren't signing leases when they arrive. Instead, they're moving into youth hostels, sometimes for months, sometimes for years.
It's not just about saving money. In this episode, Coach Tian unpacks the rental deposit system that makes renting feel impossible for someone on their first salary, the quiet loneliness of arriving alone in a city where you know no one, and why a bunk bed surrounded by strangers can sometimes feel more like home than an empty apartment.
