After Xu Yun left this Korean specialty snack bar, he got into Chairman Song's car and asked the driver to take him for a walk.
This Korean driver, who had never been abroad, looked confident. He drove Xu Yun on the streets of Gangnam District, the most prosperous area of Korea, and felt an inexplicable sense of pride.
Every body language seems to say: See, this is our Korea. Isn’t it very prosperous? Isn’t it awesome? It’s so gorgeous!
But Xu Yun is really not interested in this place. It just feels like a county town. Not to mention compared with international metropolises such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in China, any second-tier city in China can completely overwhelm this place!
No, even second-tier cities think highly of this place. Even ordinary prefecture-level cities can completely overwhelm this most prosperous place in Goryeo.
Jiangnan District, which has always been talked about as a dazzling place, really gave Xu Yun a sense of familiarity with a Chinese county. Even here, it cannot compare with the level of construction of one of the top 100 counties in China.
What surprised Xu Yun even more was that in the majestic capital of Goryeo, there was only one road separating the slums from the wealthy areas...
It feels like heaven on the left and hell on the right. I really don’t understand what qualifications the Koreans have to laugh at the huge gap between the rich and the poor in China?
Most of the residents in the slums are elderly people over seventy years old who live alone and live in simple squatters with no electricity supply or heating equipment. They have to burn coal for heating in winter.
This was completely different from the Goryeo he imagined, and Xu Yun was actually quite surprised.
"Drive over there and have a look." Xu Yun said calmly.
The driver was startled: "There's nothing interesting to see in that place, and cars can't get in at all."
"Can't even cars get in?" Xu Yun was startled: "What kind of place is this?"
"This... this... is Kowloon Village." The driver didn't seem to want to say more about this slum. This place is a huge irony to the prosperous Jiangnan District, and its existence here affects the city appearance!
You must know that when the fat man danced the horse riding dance, he was in a luxurious skyscraper with dozens of floors... He also lived in Gangnam District, but not everyone can live a life like Gangnam style.
"Have you never been here?" Xu Yundao said.
The driver was embarrassed: "There are huge safety hazards in the gas tanks and various lines here. Who is going to do what here?"
Xu Yun signaled the driver to pull over, and he carefully observed the conditions of this "slum". This is the place that truly reflects a country's economic capabilities.
Some houses in the slums are actually covered with old plastic sheets. These pitiful shabby houses are in sharp contrast with the skyscrapers not far away.
This is not an exception, but almost all houses are made of plywood, scrap metal, plastic sheeting and cardboard... It is true that there is no way for cars to enter on that small road, and two people walking towards each other have to turn their shoulders.
Looking at now, most rural areas in China no longer have such small roads, they are all roads that can stagger two cars.
"People here probably have little income, right? Doesn't the government take some action? How much subsidy will it provide?" Xu Yundao said.
The driver shook his head: "How can we subsidize them? There is no subsidy... What is the economy like now? The country has no money."
Xu Yun thought for a long time before he thought of a slum that was even worse than this place, the slums in Brazil, South America. Apart from the absence of drugs, gangs, violence and other heinous and terrifying factors, it was not much better.
Of course, there is at least no danger in visiting the slums in Korea, but this is not the case in Brazil. Ordinary people must not go to the slums alone. If you really want to go, you must be led by a local person, otherwise the trip to the slums will become a nightmare.
Nightmare.
However, the advantage of Brazilian slums is that the houses are better than here. At least there are many brick houses. Although the houses are extremely dense, many of them have sea views.
Compared with Brazil, where the houses are built row after row, without any order, and so dense that people can't breathe, the slums in Korea don't seem to be so dense, and there are not many residents.
In some homes, only the elderly live there, and the children have already moved out. Very few young people can tolerate the living environment in such a place.
Although the street in front of Xu Yun was relatively clean, it was not neat and tidy. The messy debris, piles of garbage, and even some gas tanks were thrown on the street like obstacles, which was an eyesore.
Xu Yun felt very uncomfortable as the air was densely covered with privately constructed wires. This was indeed very dangerous.
A small country of 100,000 kilometers with only a few tens of millions of people is managed like this? How dare you compare yourself to China all day long?
A country as big as China, with a population of more than one billion, can still maintain the current order and development situation. It can really be said that it has crushed Goryeo hundreds of times.
If Goryeo was really attached to China as it was in ancient times, I believe it would have been at the level of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou long ago. How could it still be the same as it is today? There are two worlds separated by one street, and there are actually slums in the heart of the capital...
"Mr. Xu, there's nothing to see here. I'd better take you to Apgujeong. That's the right place for you." The driver strongly recommended.
Xu Yun laughed it off: "The shopping mall sells all high-end goods. It is said that we Chinese tourists here especially like to shop there."
"Yes, that place is the center of fashion, and that place is in line with the national temperament of our country of Korea!" the driver said seriously.
"What about this place? Is this the place you abandoned in Goryeo? A stain on the city?" Xu Yundao said: "In this case, we should deal with it as soon as possible. Don't we have the money to deal with such a small slum area? It is estimated that the demolition of a village in Huaxia is more than
This place is several times bigger.”
The driver's face showed no expression except embarrassment. He was anxious to leave, but Xu Yun was still looking outside.
Suddenly, a woman wearing a very old Korean dress appeared. The woman was about fifty years old. She saw the car and walked over in a panic.
The driver in the car didn't seem to notice this scene, and Xu Yun was very curious. He was wondering if the Korean people also touched porcelain?
The woman actually walked to the car, which made Xu Yun even more curious. Unexpectedly, the woman came and bowed to him, and pointed to the driver's seat carefully: "Mr., how much can I say to him?"
A word?"
As soon as the woman spoke, the driver in the driver's seat felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He suddenly turned around and saw the woman outside the car, his expression changed.
"Son!" The woman's voice was gentle, but it deeply irritated the driver in suits and ties!
The driver was furious at that time. He opened the door and stepped out, and quickly walked towards the woman: "Why are you out here! Go back quickly! This is a distinguished guest of our company! You can't disturb him!"
"Son, I haven't seen you for two months. I didn't expect to see you driving here. I didn't mean to disturb this gentleman. I just wanted to have a word with you." The woman's eyes turned red.
.
Her son's disgust made her feel a stab of pain in her heart, which really made her feel uncomfortable.
"I am working time now! Can you understand me! I am working! If I do other things during working time and get fired, then what will I eat in the future!? Will you support me?!" The attitude of a son is often like this
So presumptuous.
This may be a problem that every son will ignore himself.
It seems that every son will be unscrupulous towards his mother, just because they have received infinite tolerance and infinite love since childhood, which leads to the existence of this situation.
This situation does not only happen to unfilial people, it also happens to filial people often. It is completely unintentional that they will explode and say hurtful words to their mother.
The son was suddenly angry at this moment because his mother had made him lose face, losing face in front of a Chinese boss.
However, this mother didn't know all this at all. She really just wanted to take a look at her son and had no other thoughts.
What she didn't expect was that her son would complain about her unintentional act out of urgent desire.
It would be uncomfortable for anyone else.
After all, this angry complaint came from her son. If it had been anyone else, her heart might not have been as stinging as it was at the moment, but because it was her son, her pain would only be infinitely magnified.
