First of all, what is normal? You must know what is normal. In my opinion, normal means that you don't have to chew steamed bread all day, or you can only eat steamed bread every day. In the middle, you may eat in the canteen and occasionally buy some fruit, but the entertainment life will basically be cut, so it is basically no problem to control the living expenses below 1000. But the most important thing is open source. There are many opportunities for universities to take part-time jobs in big cities. On the premise of ensuring safety, you can try tutoring or something. It's no problem to earn your own living expenses. There is another way to get a scholarship. The national scholarship is still considerable. I hope you don't worry too much about the future. There will be a solution in that step.
