it is really hard to say which is better than the other, city life or rural life, because each has its merits and shortcomings.
living in a city, people have certain advantages. first, people enjoy various entertainments, both foreign and domestic. second, there are more cultural activities in a city. third, city dwellers gain access to better information service and educational facilities. however, problems exist. the overcrowded population, traffic jam, housing problem, industrial pollution and other issues may result in depression, nervousness and diseases. laving in the country, people can enjoy living in pure nature. they lead a simple and trouble free life. but rural life may not be that perfect. people usually lack cultural activities. they are relatively ill informed. things go fairly slowly there. and people miss some golden opportunities of making a fortune. the chances of their children being admitted to colleges are slim.
obviously, whatever life they lead, people can never feel perfectly satisfied, for conveniences and inconveniences always coexist. people wish that they could enjoy the pleasures of both lives. with the rapid economic development, nowadays city dwellers can relax themselves in the country during vacation; and country people have chance to experience city lifestyle when they come to cities.
