UK | London rich man bought a dilapidated cabin for 140,000 yuan, covered with rotten branches. The roof leaked
html June 21st (the specific shooting time is unknown), in Dorset, England, a dilapidated Victorian shepherd's hut was sold for 16,000 pounds (about 143,400 yuan). The bidding was between a London rich man and a shepherd who had just bought a flock of sheep. Although the shepherd tried hard to win the cabin, his budget was only 8,000 pounds, and the wallet that was not enough to swell him would not allow him to bid to the end. In the end, the wealthy Londoner bought the cabin. The small wooden house is less than 8 square meters in size, covered with rotten branches, and the roof is still leaking. Although the dilapidated cottage is in urgent need of renovation, it is still sold at a price of 20 times higher than the estimated £800 (about RMB 7,169). The wealthy Londoners intend to renovate it into a holiday home or outdoor office.Picture: Visual China
Sweden | Unmanned supermarket in containers saves rural areas
On May 6, local time, a mobile container unmanned supermarket in Veckholm near Sinkoping, Sweden. According to AFP, grocery stores have been closed one after another in rural Sweden, and villagers have to travel long distances to buy food. According to official statistics from Sweden, the number of grocery stores (from supermarkets to small convenience stores) has been reduced from 7,169 in 1996 to 5,180 in 2020, of which most of the collapsed rural grocery stores are because they are unable to make profits. In the past two years, a new type of supermarket has sprung up like mushrooms: unmanned supermarkets in mobile containers. Vikholm is a small village 880 kilometers away from Stockholm. It lives with hundreds of people. The last local grocery store closed more than ten years ago. A year and a half ago, even the only small convenience store at the gas station was closed. Villagers had to shop for food a few miles away, and the nearest convenience store also took a half hour to get there. But in July 2020, an automated unmanned supermarket came to the town. Shoppers can open the supermarket door through their mobile apps, and there is a surveillance camera in the store. The app will activate anti-theft security measures when making payments, which makes shoppers feel relieved. Although unmanned supermarkets are generally located in remote corners, they still play the role of locals as "gathering places" and make "connecting society" possible. Picture: Visual China

UK | Let's play together! Seals "intervene" in compatriots ashore, seeking a sense of presence
html, June 21 (the specific shooting time is unknown), in Norfolk, England, three seals rest on Hallsey Beach. Laura Lake, 36, part-time assistant manager at a hotel, filmed the scene, saying: "The seals are at the end of the annual hair change period. Hundreds of seals gather on the beach to remove hair. They squeeze on the coastline for weeks until new hair grows and then return to the ocean, but some seals will stay. I saw the little seal move quickly after it gets ashore, swimming straight towards the other two seals, determined to approach them and squeeze into the narrow gap between them. The little seal's actions seemed to surprise the other two seals, both looking up at the "uninvited guest", as if saying, 'What guy do you want to do? Do you know two people are companions and three people are not happy?' Maybe they are just worried about social distance."Picture: Visual ChinaAll-now public account call transfer, relayed by "liquid youth", continue to pay attention to the work, life and spiritual world of contemporary young people.
