Peng, who is originally from Taiwan, works in the film and television industry in Beijing. She graduated from the Tsinghua University and said she liked living in big cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai.
"I am concerned with safety when living alone, but I can ask for help from friends living nearby when I am sick or in trouble," she said.
Peng added she dreamed being a baker when she was a child, and since there is a restaurant near Peng's rental room, she often exchanges cooking experiences with the chefs' in-store.
Yi moved from Northeast China's Jilin province to work in Beijing in 2010, and now works at a new media company.
"I think it's good to live alone," he said.
"I am a man with a bit of idealism, and I haven't thought of marriage in recent years, because I am not financially or mentally prepared for marriage."
Yin added he would continue to work in Beijing as there are a lot of cultural resources for his job.
Zuo moved from Northwest China's Gansu province to Beijing in 2010, and now the 28-year-old is ready to start his own company.
"I will find something to do when I am alone, for example, I watch TV, read books and catch up with friends when I feel bored or lonely," he said.
"Though I live alone, I am outgoing and participate in a business-related job, which make me chat with people often."
Yang moved from Central China's Henan province to Beijing six years ago. Now the 28-year-old engages in internet financial work, and spends nearly 1,000 yuan each month renting a single room.
"Many of my friends have left Beijing to work in other cities, and I think it's inevitable for many people, like me, to experience an 'empty-nest' youth period," he said.
"Living alone is boring other than lonely. Women living alone may have more lonely feelings than men, so it's better to make some friends and cultivate some hobbies."
