Chapter 4351 $0.16

"Mr. Lin, he is also my idol!" As soon as Mandela came on stage, everyone was so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

No! Mandela is also a fan of Lin Feng! This is too exaggerated! Who is Mandela? The Father of Africa, Beyond, a rock palace band in China, created a song specifically for Mandela. Song - "Glory Days".

In 1990, Beyond went to Kenya and witnessed the war-torn African continent and the people devastated by famine. Later, lead singer Huang Jiaju read the story of Mandela in prison in the newspaper, which aroused his inner feelings. The strong resonance with the audience led to the creation of "Glory Days".

The sound of the bell ringing as a signal to return home seemed to bring a bit of sadness to his life, and the meaning of black skin to him.











Such a great man, a living great man, actually admires Lin Feng? This is too exaggerated! Is it such an exaggeration? Even if Lin Feng has done so much for Africa, is he praising him to the sky? As for praising him like this? Lin Feng? As for that!

"I think you must be very curious as to why I admire Lin Feng so much. I think through a set of data, you should be able to understand why I admire Lin Feng so much and am willing to be his fan!" Mandela smiled.

Mandela is 89 years old this year, and he was abused in his early years. His body is just like the lyrics of Beyond's "Glory Days": "Today there is only the remaining body...", but although his body has some lingering aches and pains, he stood on the stage. , but his waist is straight and his eyes are like a torch. He is worthy of being a living great man.

Generally speaking, great men are only great when they are dead. But Mandela is a living great man. His every word and deed affects everyone around him.

"Africa. Covers an area of ​​about 30.2 million square kilometers (including nearby islands). It is about 8,000 kilometers long from south to south and 7,403 kilometers long from east to west. It accounts for about 20.1% of the world's total land area. The desert area accounts for one-third of the entire African land, and the Sahara The desert area accounts for a quarter of the entire African landmass and is the largest desert in the world. At the same time, the coastline of Africa lacks bays and islands (the continent with the smallest number of islands). This was originally a continent given by God. However, due to the development of the times, The world's progress has been abandoned by the world. The total population of Africa is 1 billion, accounting for 15% of the world's total population, but our total GDP in Africa is 2.5 trillion US dollars, which is not as good as Japan. Although the per capita GDP is 2,500 US dollars, but The vast majority of these are controlled by a few wealthy countries, such as Libya, whose rich oil resources have allowed the GDP of one country to exceed 100 billion U.S. dollars." At this point, Mandela glanced at the country not far away. Libyan President Gaddafi.

"Although Africa is the poorest continent, there are also several countries that are extremely wealthy. They are richer than most developing countries today, and even comparable to some developed countries. However, the vast majority of countries in Africa are at the extreme poverty line. Below. Excluding nine developed African countries such as Libya and Seychelles, the total GDP of other African countries is less than 500 billion U.S. dollars! However, they account for more than 75% of the population, and their per capita GDP is approximately 666 U.S. dollars! "Man Della said quietly.

750 million people, with a per capita GDP of 666 US dollars, which is approximately equivalent to 5,194 RMB. This does not sound too small, at least compared to China, it is not bad. After all, the per capita income of many Chinese people has not reached 5,194 RMB. In many places in China,

Especially in rural areas, the average annual per capita income is only more than 2,000 RMB. But don’t forget, these statistics refer to the national population. In fact, China’s total GDP last year was 2,587.9 billion U.S. dollars. The average per capita GDP was 1,990 U.S. dollars, which is three times that of Africa.

3 times, how big will the gap be? If you imagine, it shouldn't be that big. It shouldn't be enough for most people in Africa to starve to death, especially the two photos released by Lin Feng at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, which are so shocking. Logically speaking,

Africa’s per capita income is US$666, so it shouldn’t be that miserable. What’s going on?

"Africa is an extremely poor country. It is also a country with huge wealth disparities. In the history of human civilization, the poorer the country, the greater the wealth gap. Among these extremely poor countries, 80% of 75% of the population

The population owns less than 7% of the wealth of US$500 billion. In other words, the remaining 20% ​​of the population owns 93% of the wealth. If calculated this way, 80% of the 75% of the population is owned by 600 million people.

Our wealth is only 7% of US$500 billion, which is US$35 billion, and the per capita annual income is US$58.3! The daily income is less than US$0.16!" Mandela said in a serious tone.

Hearing this number, all the guests present looked solemn. Although they are all Africans, most of them have already become famous, such as Essien and Eto'o, whose annual salary is calculated in millions of dollars. Maybe they

They came from the days of poverty, but now they can no longer appreciate the original poverty, let alone the real poverty in Africa, the lives of those extremely poor African people. After all, they can play football and basketball, representing

Living life is by no means the lowest level. The people at the real lowest level in Africa have difficulty surviving, let alone playing football or basketball.

They can't realize it, but the data provided by Mandela now allows them to imagine the miserable life of the people at the bottom of Africa. How can they live with less than 0.16 US dollars a day? Even in the cheapest fast food restaurant in the United States,

You can't even buy a hamburger. And it takes a whole day of your life. How is this possible!

Mandela looked sad. Although he was the founding father of South Africa, he was also the hope of all Africans. All Africans loved Mandela and hoped that their country could produce a figure like Mandela.

.

"Everyone, how can they live on a living allowance of 0.16 US dollars a day?" Mandela said in a withering tone.

When Lin Feng heard this figure, he also sighed. US$0.16 is less than 1 yuan in RMB. In today's society, what can you do with 1 yuan? Can you live for a day? Even if you buy steamed buns, it's not enough.

!Before this, although Lin Feng had done a lot of disaster relief in Africa, he usually assigned people to do it. Lin Feng himself rarely went to places where the disaster was particularly serious or poor. After all, Lin Feng was not that kind of ascetic.

He is a hedonist. Therefore, Lin Feng only has a vague idea of ​​poverty in Africa. He knows that Africans cannot feed themselves, cannot eat enough, and are hungry every day. But what exactly is it?

That's it. At this moment, when Mandela described it with extremely detailed figures, Lin Feng was able to understand the plight of ordinary people in Africa. Living expenses of less than 1 yuan is ridiculous. In China, I am afraid that most of them

Most families will starve to death.

Of course, in China you can beg along the streets and dig wild vegetables in the suburbs, but in Africa, Lin Feng knew that all the edible things had been eaten long ago, and the rest were unsatisfactory plants and desert. As for begging,

They are all beggars and they don’t have enough to eat. Who are you begging for?

"Everyone, Mr. Lin started assisting Africa in 2002. From 2007 to 2007, in a total of five years, how much material and money did Mr. Lin assist Africa?" Mandela took out a piece of paper and said, "

It contains detailed records of Mr. Lin’s aid to Africa. I think if it weren’t for Mr. Lin’s generosity, more people in Africa would have died of hunger.”

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Mandela's explanation.

"In the five years from 2002 to 2007, a total of 7.3 million people died of starvation in Africa! Everyone, this is a rough estimate, not a detailed statistics. Detailed statistics, I think the number will be more, maybe even tens of millions.

!” Mandela reminded, “Of course, the statistics of Africa’s 1 billion population are only rough estimates, and may actually be far more. According to the assessment of the United Nations Social and Humanistic Organization, the total population of Africa is probably between 1.2 and 1.5 billion.

!”

Why is there such a big gap? That is because many places in Africa do not have a formal government or organization at all, and the population is mostly assessed roughly. In fact, no one knows how many people there are on the African continent, and no one knows.

After all, in many countries, the scope of their government's rule is only in the capital, and many places are out of control, or incapable of control at all. How many people there are in the country, it is simply impossible to conduct a census. The census is not available in

Africa is almost a fantasy. Therefore, it is really impossible to estimate the population accurately. We can only make a rough assessment! And often the figures of this statistical assessment are very watery and are always far less than the actual number of people.

However, 7.3 million people died of starvation in five years, which is also a terrible figure. I am afraid that globally, only in Africa would such a tragic thing happen. The entire Hague-Fikir Theater felt heavy.

"Everyone, we should feel sad for this number, but at the same time we should feel lucky for this number. Because without Mr. Lin, this number would have more than doubled!" Mandela looked at Lin Feng with a grateful face.

, "Mr. Lin, thank you for everything you have done for Africa in the past five years!"

After speaking, Mandela bowed deeply to Lin Feng.

Upon seeing this, thousands of guests at the scene stood up one after another and bowed to Lin Feng, either because of the atmosphere or because they really felt the same!

The whole place fell into silence, and everyone faced Lin Feng. At this moment, the whole world was infected by this solemn atmosphere.
Chapter completed!
