081 Slum City

Lao Liu's driving skills are still okay, and his car performance is good. Even if you don't step on the gas pedal in the mailbox like Kipcury, it's fast.

In fact, travel in Kenya is still very smooth in this season. The worst part is the rainy season. It's rare to encounter light rain here, and the light rain is too faceless, and I'm sorry for the clouds here. Here, no matter whether there are big clouds or small clouds, even if there is only one small flower, there will be rain in it, and it will rain when it is said, and it will stop when it is stopped.

For this continent, this rain is life-saving rain, but for people in a hurry, even a small puddle of water, if your car is not good enough, can be thrown here.

When Liu Wenrui first arrived in Kenya, it was the end of the light rainy season. It's already October, and the heavy rainy season is about to begin.

Their journey was very smooth, and Liu Wenrui didn't step on the brakes at all. Even if there are some small pits, they are pushed all the way through. Every time she passes by such a road, Xiao Miaomiao will be happy and happy, and the car is full of laughter.

"Brother Liu, you have to turn around at the intersection in front of you, and you can't follow the navigation. If you follow the navigation, you will have to pass through the corner of Kibera. Xiao Wang looked at the road in front of him and reminded him.

"Xiao Wang, when I came last year, the tour guide told us not to approach the Kibera area, it is really dangerous? Liu Wenrui asked curiously.

"Charity? Where are they doing charity, that's putting on a show. Where the camera is pointed, there are just a few people. Outside of the camera, how many security personnel are there. Xiao Wang said with a wry smile.

"Kibera is the largest slum in Kenya, covering more than 600 acres, and who lives here? More than half of them are unemployed, and they eat at most one meal a day. ”

"It's okay here during the day, but you'll have to have an acquaintance in Kiberari to help you get out of the way. At night, it's a haven for crime. Every crime you can imagine can happen here. ”

"It's been a bit better in the past two years, and I used to go to the flight toilet. What is a flying toilet? I don't dare to go out at night, so I just put it in a plastic bag. Then open the window, 'whoosh', and this is the flight toilet. ”

"If you're really interested, take the path on the left, which is the outer road of Kibera, and you can see it more clearly. But don't park, it's hard to park. Most of the people here have some infectious diseases, and many have AIDS. ”

"This is the city of slums. You can see the tall buildings in the distance, and sometimes you can't see the large slum on the side. ”

"In Nairobi, there's also a Mathare slum, which is a bit stronger than this one. Anyway, this place, it's better not to go deep into it. ”

Liu Wenrui nodded, he still knew this. However, his heart was also really full of curiosity, and then he turned along the path on the left.

Although there is still a little distance, the shed made of iron sheets and waste materials in front of it also gives Liu Wenrui a feeling of being in a film and television work.

And it's not just about seeing, you can also "smell" it, and the mixed smell of a garbage heap is faintly transmitting. There are also places where black smoke is emitting, and it is estimated that garbage is also burning.

When I got closer, the smell mixed with the smell of burning garbage became stronger. You can only raise the window and look through the window.

"It's still the edge of the area, and if you go inside, it's amazing. Don't let it rain, every year during the rainy season, a group of people have to die here. Xiao Wang said with emotion.

"Compared to the slums of those developed countries, I think it's like paradise. I've lived here for so long, and I can't come here without coming here, and I can take a detour. ”

"Anyway, sometimes when I look at the people here, I feel pitiful and feel sorry for me. Every year, the United Nations or those charitable organizations will also provide assistance here, which is a drop in the bucket. ”

"In fact, across Africa, except for some key cities, we need assistance. Where there are so many funds and resources, they are all making do with life. ”

"Xiao Wang, your feelings seem to be quite deep?" Liu Wenrui asked with a smile.

"Brother Liu, I'm really not afraid of your jokes, I really have the heart to do charity. Over the years, I've donated almost 20,000 yuan here, which is the maximum I can afford, and no more. Xiao Wang said.

"We have some of the outside workers in our company who come from Kibera, so I know a little bit more. Actually, it's all pretty much the same, it's a cheap labor market. Every morning they poured into the city, and in the evening, they returned in an uproar. ”

"The year before last, or the year before last, there was an unorganized person who came here to shoot a documentary, and then there was no follow-up, and the filming was over, and it didn't bring much substantive help. ”

"Every year, there are a lot of people who come here to do activities, interact with each other, give out some small gifts, and then play with eggs. Looking at those people, sometimes I feel disgusting. ”

"Brother Liu, you have to turn right ahead, otherwise you will really drive into Kibera. No, we don't have the ability to protect ourselves, and you can't get through the road there. ”

Liu Wenrui nodded, turned a corner, and drove onto the road on the right. The road here is wider and higher, and the shadow of the Nairobi city is already in sight.

Even if it's just a corner, you don't get a full picture of Kibera. Liu Wenrui can also make up his brain, and the real situation here is probably really much more difficult than he imagined.

Just now, I have seen a group of bare-bottomed children running outside, and many people are also rummaging through the garbage heap not far away.

Just like Xiao Wang said, if you look at the urban area of Nairobi, even if there are no traffic lights on the streets, only on the main roads, but it is also a magnificent scene of high-rise buildings.

But Kibera lives next to this prosperous place, and a few minutes away, people's lifestyles and fortunes have come to an earth-shattering reversal.

In fact, he just looked at a small side, where the houses are not so dense. But the feeling that he felt was much crueler than his own cognition, and the shock in his heart was also very great.

It seems that there is a power here, a power that is intimidating.
