The standard equipment of the richest man in rural North Korea,
goes out to ride a motorcycle,
has large pieces of furniture at home that make others envious.
When traveling in North Korea, we observed that compared to China, North Korean cities can only be regarded as China's level in the 1980s and 1990s, while North Korea's rural areas are compared to China's level in the 1970s. level in the 1980s. On the train from Dandong to Pyongyang , we witnessed many scenes that could only be seen in the childhood of those born in the 1970s. The one that impressed us most was a field with more than 10 people working at the same time.
It was a hot summer afternoon, and North Korean farmers were working shirtless in the fields. This kind of collective labor system was relatively common in our country in the 1970s. The tour guide on the bus told me that farmers in North Korea record work points when working in the fields. At the end of the year, food is distributed according to each person's recorded work points.
Therefore, in North Korea, farmers do not hesitate to work hard. In North Korea, affected by the household registration management system , there is no phenomenon of rural people migrating to cities to work. As a result, the countryside in North Korea does not feel as deserted as the countryside in Northeast China. On the contrary, it is very lively. Especially in the summer, many rural areas in North Korea have movie projectionists going to the countryside. In the evening, they will show movies to the farmers. In the movie, that scene can no longer be seen in China, but it can still be seen in North Korea.
It is said that the gap between rich and poor in North Korea is not large. This is because North Koreans are generally very poor. The monthly salary of four to five hundred yuan accounts for 60% of the country's total population, and 30% of the population's monthly salary income With only about 100 yuan, that is a North Korean farmer. In fact, in rural North Korea, there are also richest people in every village. They will buy large pieces of furniture and transportation tools.
In rural areas of North Korea, a family with a bicycle is considered a wealthy family. If a family can afford a motorcycle, it must be the richest man in the village. Although the houses of the richest man's family are similar to those of ordinary villagers because they are all allocated by the state, it can be seen from the decoration, large furniture and appliances inside that the richest man is the richest man and can only make others envious.
