**Core Issue: Absolute Salary Value vs. Actual Purchasing Power**
This study provides an in-depth analysis of the actual savings differences between professionals in Shenzhen (high salary, high cost of living) and Chengdu (medium salary, low cost of living) under different city living costs, targeting those with a monthly salary of 20,000 and 15,000.

**Target Audience**
* Professionals preparing to change jobs in another city
* Job seekers facing offer choices who also value their quality of life
