INTRODUCE

Hou Xiaoxiao is a fitness coach. She came to Shenzhen in 2018. But interestingly, during her college years, she didn't study fitness but journalism. Fitness was merely a hobby for her to relieve physical and mental stress in her spare time. But when she came to Shenzhen after graduation, she found that the news industry in Shenzhen was highly competitive. Apart from some positions that might have been selected internally, the remaining vacancies were all contested by hundreds or even thousands of people. Many of them had the top academic qualifications in China, so her resume stood out in the vast sea of people. After being rejected by several companies, she had no choice but to leave Shenzhen and look for a job in a second - or third-tier city. However, this went against her original goal of developing in this city, so she has been hesitant all along. Just at this moment, she saw a job advertisement for a fitness manager, which needed a female fitness coach. Thinking that she had also done some research in fitness during her four years in university, she sent out her resume with a try-it-out attitude. Surprisingly, her professionalism passed the interview of that gym, and she was thus hired.

When she was just admitted, as she didn't have time to choose a good address, she found a short-term rental in a village within the city of Baishizhou, Nanshan District. Although the place was not large, only about 20 square meters, she accepted it because the monthly rent was only 400 yuan, which was very cheap. She thought she would stay here temporarily and move out after finding a good place. In 2018, due to its rapid development, Shenzhen was unable to effectively supervise many facilities in various places, especially the urban villages hidden among the city buildings at that time. This also led to the lack of awareness of potential safety hazards. According to Hou Xiaoxiao's own account, at that time, she was originally drying the clothes she had just washed on the public balcony, thinking of resting against the railing. However, the railing, which had been in disrepair for a long time and rusted, broke on the spot, almost causing her to slip and fall from the 8th floor. This made her still shudder. At the same time, she was also worried that there might be any other dangers in the place where she lived, so she quickly found a new residence and moved away from here.
