Ah Ping sighed softly. "It just looks prosperous. Actually... we might not be as happy as a small base."
"Why so? Can I trouble you to explain it to me in detail?"
Looking at Du Yue's curious eyes, Ah Ping nodded. "The second base is divided into the inner and outer cities. Do you know that?"
"Yes, yes, I do."
"Not only is the land divided into inner and outer boundaries, but even the people are divided into high, middle, and low classes. Those who live in the inner city are high-class residents. Those who live in the outer city, like us, who have our own businesses and are somewhat capable, are middle-class residents. Those who live in the slums and have to worry about food and clothing every day are the lower-class residents."
