Xu moved to Beijing in 2009, after graduating from the Hebei Tourism Vocational College in Chengde city, Hebei province. She currently earns around 10,000 yuan per month and lives in a single room without paying rent. The company she works for supplies Xu with the accommodation. "I often work as late as 2 am in the morning and I still could not complete my work. Having a nice sleep is what I want most every day," she said. Xu wants to keep working and living in Beijing, and said her biggest wish was to own a house.
