Qin Yuting is a costume designer and her sister, Qin Yuqi, engages in the cosmetic industry. The pair earn 8,000 yuan per month together and spend 1,750 yuan of their earnings on renting a room in Fengtai district, Beijing. Qin Yuting and Qin Yuqi said they planned to move, as they were tired of frequently catching public transport. "Finding a rental room makes us more tired than finding a job. Besides, I have to spend almost half a month's salary to pay the rent," said Qin Yuting.
