In fact, exclusionism and regional superiority are very interesting and natural phenomena, especially in economically prosperous areas like Da Lin and Chuanyuan. Take Da Lin as an example, a city of more than 15 million residents which, hundreds of years ago, was home to only two or three million people. These inhabitants considered themselves locals of Da Lin, and among them, many complained about the influx of outsiders.
They believed that the newcomers, numbering twelve million, had occupied their resources, seized their opportunities, and even begun to despise foreigners coming to Da Lin.
These people stopped speaking the official language and used only the Da Lin dialect, manifesting the superiority of their culture.
Another interesting phenomenon is that in prosperous cities like Da Lin and Chuanyuan, such people are not a minority.
