Regarding the living conditions of the people at the bottom of the two countries, the poor in China may live better than the homeless in the United States. Most homeless people in America have no shelter, no jobs, no money, and no opportunities. Living on the streets. I think they have nothing
The poor people in China, take for example the people living in very poor areas of China. Although they are poor, they are not destitute. They have hands and feet so they won't die of hunger. They have land to grow vegetables and crops, houses to protect them from wind and rain, and clothes to keep warm. Even if they are very poor, their children can receive education because of nine-year compulsory education, and the school provides nutritious meals. Especially after the success of China's poverty alleviation work, no one in China's poorest rural areas has no food or clothing. Basic food and clothing can be guaranteed
When we think that a person is poor, it is not only materially, but also spiritually. As far as I know, many homeless people in the United States are able-bodied and capable of working, but they don't work. Some are due to alcohol and drugs, some are due to laziness, and some are due to losing hope in life. I think this kind of spiritual poverty is even more terrible. Of course, this is also due to the social environment. Some homeless people want to change, but after experiencing things being stolen and robbed, being charged protection fees by gangs, being ignored by the police, being afraid to sleep at night, and even losing their self-esteem, they may choose to continue to sink.
China, with a population of 1.4 billion, has a diverse economic structure and huge social needs. In China, there are countless job opportunities. As long as you have hands and feet and work hard, you can support yourself without begging. Cleaners, delivery people, security guards, restaurant dishwashers, even if you come from a very poor area, as long as you have not committed a crime, everyone can accept you. Although these people do not have a lot of money, they live in a safe and peaceful place and they have a positive attitude towards life.
China Even if someone is homeless, he can go to a city shelter. Every city has homeless shelters that provide them with food, clothing, beds, and even hot showers. According to my country's "Safety Management Regulations for Rescue Stations", rescue stations should provide the following assistance to recipients: 1. Provide food that meets hygienic requirements 2. Provide accommodation that meets basic requirements 3. Send to the hospital for medical treatment if there is a sudden illness at the station 4. Help contact relatives or work unit 5. Provide a ticket if there is no transportation cost to return to the place of residence. (Supplement: The assistance provided by the rescue station is divided into accommodation rooms by gender, and female assistance recipients are managed by female staff.)
Poor people in every country have a difficult life, but in China you may have more opportunities, more dignity and more hope.
