Now it's impossilbe for us to buy a house in China... For most of Chinese,they want to buy a house before they get married.They don't want to rent a house all the lifetime. But now the house price is so high,and for most of people ,they have to loan some money and then pay back on stallment. It's so tired. Must we have a house of our own? and is the house very expensive in your country too?share with us,please..

You are right. Today the house price just keeps higher and higher and most people can't afford to it. Since most Chinese people still want to settle down and therefore having a house is so important. This is the pressure for today. I love China

hi zhpshql, having one's own house is everyone's dream. i guess nobody wants to live forever in a rented house or parents' house. but if the house price is just too high, we must make a priority list. if having your own house is the most important thing for you now, you can try anything to buy your own house. if the installment seems to be too long and expensive, you can do other jobs that can pay your installment faster. property price in my hometown Jakarta, Indonesia is not very expensive. most young adults now tend to live in apartment. it's easier to manage, have close sports facility and mini market, and relatively safer than staying in individual houses. btw, in which part of china do you live? i live in US now
