Every generation has its "first step into society." For today's youth, that step often begins far from home, in cities where dreams are tall but rent is even taller. That's where "Youth Hubs" come in. Now in over 200 cities across China, these 2,600 hubs offer more than a roof. They provide career guidance and employment services for new graduates, alongside a feeling of warmth and a community that's rooting for you. On the show: Niu Honglin, Steve & Xingyu.
