The city center is farther and farther away from Yuhu Street. The commercial and entertainment industries in Yuhu Street are not developed. Streets are narrow and old. Apart from living outdoors, there are very few other people who are not suitable for marketing activities.
Third, the family reasons: the older generation is basically a retired worker, low education, mostly only small or small national culture, poor education awareness; most of their children are laid off and unemployed, suffering from the pressure of life, there are small and old, relaxed children I also expect my children to earn money as soon as possible to help ease the burden. Therefore, the children’s education is not concerned and neglected to supervise; the grandchildren grow up in this environment, the growth environment is not good, the fathers are playing cards, taking drugs, and almost No one is disciplined, influenced by bad habits, and the crime rate of drug abuse, stealing, and robbing is high. Therefore, a vicious circle is formed between the three generations.
