The attitude of this black man was very familiar to Xu Yun, and the memories once again brought him back to the time when he was in Detroit.
When Xu Yun first arrived in that city, he wanted to get familiar with the urban environment. He walked around the streets and drank two bottles of mineral water along the way. He wanted to find a restroom, but the public restrooms in that city were simply like
Is a "store" generally.
Many people solve various problems there, many of which are mind-boggling.
A public restroom in a ghetto is definitely not a good place to deal with a personal peeing problem, because in the middle of your peeing, someone may break in, put a knife to your waist, and then rob you.
clean.
The first time Xu Yun went to the public restroom in a slum neighborhood, he had to wait for a long time. Everyone who came here would lock the door.
While waiting, Xu Yun met several people. An old man with gray hair and very shabby clothes, as if he was wearing a sack, walked past him and said many words to him that Xu Yun could not understand at all.
It seemed like he was talking to Xu Yun, but also like he was talking to himself. So Xu Yun ignored him, and then he left.
After a while, a black man came towards Xu Yun. Because the place was very narrow, the black man almost bumped into Xu Yun. Then he raised his head and said to Xu Yun the same words as the black man in front of him.
Believe it or not, I will kill you now!
Even the threatening tone of these people was exactly the same.
Xu Yun still remembered that he had to wait for more than half an hour that day when he wanted to solve the peeing problem. Later, a policeman came to Xu Yun and told Xu Yun not to wait here anymore and that he could go to the police station with him to borrow the bathroom.
Just as he was talking, a crazy middle-aged woman leaning against the corner waved to Xu Yun, and then said something to Xu Yun that Xu Yun was confused and couldn't understand.
The police told Xu Yun to stay away from this woman. He said that this woman might be some random believer and would say some very unlucky words to Xu Yun.
Xu Yun didn't think much about it at the time. After all, he had to go to the police station to borrow the bathroom after having to urinate urgently.
When Xu Yun was about to leave the police station after solving his personal problems, he also saw how busy the Detroit Police Department was... far beyond Xu Yun's imagination, which was simply unimaginable in China.
In many places with good public security in China, one report a day is enough, and in some cases there is not even a single report a day.
But the police station here is different. There are many people queuing up to report the crime! Yes, it's like the lobby of the Huaxia Vehicle Administration Office. It's always crowded with people queuing up to review cars or go through some procedures.
At this time, the crazy woman Xu Yun had met before hurried in and said that she had encountered an emergency. She wanted to go to the front to jump in line, but no one was ready to let her go. There was a piece of yellow transparent tape stuck to her face.
She peeled off the transparent tape and found the bloody flesh inside... She told the people around her that she had just been shot and the bullet was still in her face!
The scene was chaotic.
Xu Yun also saw a wall in the police station, which was covered with photos. Xu Yun originally thought these were photos of all the police officers in the police station. When he took a closer look, he realized that these photos were all of police officers who died in the line of duty.
Even Xu Yun, if he were allowed to live in such a city, he would probably be in a state of fear all the time. He is a human being who also has fear, but he has enough courage to face fear, so he will often be in a state of fear.
People feel that they are never afraid at all.
Bravery does not mean not being afraid, but facing fear head on.
On the streets of slum neighborhoods and on buses, there would always be people who would suddenly say a bunch of strange things to him, as if they were talking to themselves.
Under this situation, Xu Yun couldn't understand what they were talking about.
Although these people don't have guns, are dressed very shabbily, and don't mean any harm when they speak, regardless of whether you are listening or not, they always give people the feeling that they don't want to be contacted.
And they have no support, no mobile phones, and nothing. Of course, there are some people who look like the guys in front of them now, who look very fierce, but Xu Yun feels that most poor people are kinder, but their lives
Extremely bad, so let them occasionally do something equally bad.
The scars of any country are not easily visible to others, and the poor in the US empire have always been struggling in the mud, unable to break free.
At that time, Xu Yun realized that China was not the only country with poor areas, not only China with places that could not afford to eat, and not only China with people who could not afford to live in houses.
Xu Yun has always thought that the fact that many people in China are poor is a national problem.
But now for comparison, China has one billion more people than the US Empire! If China's population was the same as that of the US Empire, there would definitely be no poor people in China!
Chinese people can definitely afford to live in houses, buy cars, have adequate education, and have better medical conditions...
Nowadays, China has one billion more people than the US Empire, and it is very, very difficult to achieve this point! Maybe there are still many bastards in China who neglect their duties, and maybe there are still many greedy officials in China, but the national leaders have always been
Everyone is making the right decision!
China is also taking the right path.
It’s great for a country with such a huge population to have achieved this! Whether it’s a large villa or a small apartment, whether it’s a three-bedroom or a duplex, whether it’s fifty square meters or five hundred square meters, the number of people in China who can afford a house
The number is really higher than the total population of the US Empire.
The wealthy people in the American empire certainly lived in luxury, with their residences occupying dozens or even hundreds of acres!
But the problem is that not all of them can afford to live in luxury houses. The US empire only has a population of over 300 million!
But how many people in the US empire cannot afford to buy a house?
Xu Yun looked at the few black people in front of him. To be honest, he really felt pity for the poor people in the US Empire. This is a paradise for the rich, but it is also a hell for the poor. Not to mention the poor people in these slums, the US Empire
Ordinary residents may not be having an easy life either.
The biggest difference between the architecture of the American Empire and that of China is the building materials. In China, they are all made of reinforced concrete buildings, but in the American Empire, many ordinary people have wooden houses. Some people will definitely wonder why the Americans like to build houses with wood instead of bricks.
Some people say that wood is good, wood is environmentally friendly, and wood is high-end.
That’s pure fart! The houses that rich people live in in the American empire are all made of reinforced concrete, and rich people don’t live in wooden houses!
Because wooden houses are cheap! There are many sparse forests in the American empire, and there is a lot of wood!
Of course, the U.S. Empire does not build houses without bricks or cement. Houses made of concrete are also very common, and can be found in big cities like New York and Los Angeles. But for the American Empire, bricks usually refer to luxury houses.
comes standard.
Because brick walls and cement are too expensive, in fact, many mansions that appear to have brick walls are actually just decorated with brick wall textures on the outside! To put it simply, they are just for show.
The number of wooden houses in the American Empire is relatively high. These houses are very old and were built a long time ago. At that time, wood was a lightweight raw material that was easily available in large quantities and was easier to transport than stone and bricks.
to the construction site.
One Cheap, Three Loves. Compared with steel, concrete raw materials, and brick raw materials, U.S. Empire wood is much cheaper. Just imagine if large-scale natural disasters are not considered, a small house can save upstairs, downstairs, and outside.
A lot of money.
Of course, there are other reasons. In some earthquake-prone areas, such as Southern California, the structure of wooden houses is relatively looser and the weight of the building is lighter. In the event of a strong earthquake destroying the house, it is necessary to live in a lighter wooden house.
The possibility of survival inside is much greater than in a house made of bricks, because most deaths caused by earthquakes are caused by crushing.
But at this point, it is not difficult to see that the U.S. Empire is taking the wrong path when its population is so small and the people are still so "poor."
And this situation will go further and further wrong, and go further and further!
There will only be more and more people in these slums who rely on robbery and relief for a living! This is because the children of these people have been born in this chaotic environment since they were young, and they don’t even know who their parents are.
