60k "tiny"?
Haha you're right, sorry!
In France it's a préfecture, and the biggest town in the department. But it's still a small town, really, with mostly old people (avg age is 46) while the young flee to bigger cities.
In Ireland I was living in a town the same size (60k) and it was the most important town in the county, and felt a lot more "important" with a lot more business, more youth, more work... Basically if you needed more, you went to Dublin or Belfast. Or abroad, like many of my mates did.
But yeah, 60k is nothing when you live in a megapolis like Wuhan.
It's all so relative, it's a bit crazy.
