Chapter 334: Visiting
The next day, there was no rush to negotiate the contract, the two tour guides led Shakru to visit the main attractions of Pyongyang City, the car drove on the street, Shakru found that the Korean men's clothing is basically four colors - yellow (military uniform), white (shirt), black and gray (full body), which is better than when we **** only have two colors, yellow and blue. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 You can see soldiers everywhere on the street, the guards of beautiful buildings are also soldiers, and the highway checkpoints at the entrance and exit of the city are all soldiers.
Pyongyang is said to be beautiful, mainly because of the green belt, the roads are neat and clean, and there is almost no garbage. If you don't look at the streets, you don't have a single shop, because the shops don't have signboards or storefronts. Goryeo was a rationed society, the scale of cooperative stores was extremely small, and all means of subsistence were quotas, so there were no supermarkets, except for a few foreign-related shops, and the commercial activities of the whole society were static.
Pyongyang has a smooth flow of traffic because there are very few public vehicles, especially freight vehicles and taxis, and even some small cars are owned by government agencies and large and medium-sized state-owned units. Bicycles are also scarce, there are long queues at bus stops, most residents walk to work, and pedestrians habitually jaywalk. The beautiful model female traffic police officer is a beautiful scenery in Pyongyang, and it is also an object that all foreign guests rush to take pictures. The city is full of greenery, blue sky and white clouds, no environmental pollution, and the air is very good, which is in obvious contrast with China's big cities.
The whole of Pyongyang looks like a perfectly decorated set. The security is very good, there are no beggars, there is no need to worry about thieves and scammers, these aspects are incomparable in any city in China and India. Later, Shakru learned that all these beautiful decorations were bought by the vast number of people of Goryeo at the cost of losing their human rights and freedoms.
The tallest building in Pyongyang is the Ryugyong Hotel, a 105-storey abandoned building that has been shut down and is a big project with the French. Built in 1989, the now huge wreckage of the building lies stationary in the center of Pyongyang, and according to the Koreans, it was the provocation pressure of the United States that prompted the French to sabotage and stop the project. In Shakru's view, this is a symbolic example of the country, like it, lying still.
In the center of the main road in front of the stadium is the Arc de Triomphe, built in April 1982, 60 meters high, 50.1 meters wide on the front, and 36.2 meters wide on the side, it is a majestic stone monument, the front and back are engraved with the great achievements of Jin Xcheng, and it is said to be taller than the triumphal arch in Paris.
When passing by the Kim X-Sung Stadium, the tour guide said that it can accommodate 100,000 people, and that 20 days in advance, you can see the world's largest group gymnastics "Arirang", with 100,000 to 200,000 participants. It is said that "Arirang" is a masterpiece of the Guinness Book of Records, and it is a large-scale rhythmic gymnastics that integrates famous songs, beautiful folk dances, rhythmic gymnastics, acrobatics, charming background art, modern installations and lighting means. The tour guide said that the rehearsal of the Goryeo Revolution model play and large-scale group exercises is the honor of every teenager, and each performer is strictly selected and has to be rehearsed continuously for a long time. Since 1961, Goryeo has continued to create large-scale group exercises "The Age of the Workers' Party", "Maxima Goryeo", "Follow the Party's Banner", and "The People's Praise to the Leader". While artists from all over the world are pursuing their own creations, children and teenagers of Korea are practicing these group exercises day after day, generation after generation.
On the gate square, there were hundreds of male and female student soldiers in training, and the tour guide said: These are students who have just come out of school to serve in the training. In Goryeo, every boy is 16 years old and every girl is 17 years old, and he must serve in the military, unless he is disabled. The military service period is 10 years for men and 5 years for women, and those who are admitted to university serve three years after graduation.
Shakru was startled when he heard this, and said, "Ten years? Isn't a person's youth all soaked in the army? But the tour guide said, "Being a soldier is the glory of the young people of Goryeo." The tour guide also told us that divorce in Korea requires organizational approval, and there is only one reason that is easy to approve – not having children. The criteria for young Korean women to find men are also "three highs": tall, high salary, and high education; There are also two important political criteria: a member of the working party and a soldier. In Goryeo, the revolutionary military personnel are the main force in socialist construction, and the country's water conservancy, railways, highways, large areas of rural land, major projects, military installations, various monuments of the Kim family and his sons, and huge memorial halls are all condensed by the blood and sweat of the people's soldiers. Joining the party is the lifelong pursuit and glory of every Korean person, but it is more difficult, and young people can only join the party after passing ten years of military service and participating in various commandos, speed commandos, life and death commandos, and other tests. The tour guide told us that every young man in Goryeo should inherit the spirit of Mt. Paektu (the base of the Kim X-Sung Revolution).
Standing majestically in the center of Pyongyang, the Juche Tower is said to be one meter taller than the Washington Monument in the United States, and the tour guide said that it symbolizes the greatness and immortality of Juche, a human-centered political philosophy – Juche Thought. It was established in April 1982 for Kim X-sung's 70th birthday, and it was also built to meet the founding Juche idea. The tour guide also said to us: "This is the only kind of tower in the world that symbolizes thought, and the world is looking at it, and we have to lay flowers and bow." ”
When visiting the former residence of Jin Xcheng, Shakru saw a large group of Young Pioneers kneeling on the asphalt road, and Shakru asked strangely, "What are the children doing?" ”
"I'm cleaning," the tour guide replied indifferently.
In fact, the road is very clean, and when I approached the children, Shakru saw a surprising scene, a row of more than a dozen people, a total of four rows of children were using handkerchiefs or small brushes, lying on the ground and slowly and delicately brushing the ground inch by inch, and they really did it spotless. The tour guide saw Shaklu's fuss and explained: This is the young pioneers expressing their heartfelt love to Grandpa Jin, and every day the school organizes children to clean the former residence for Grandpa.
At two o'clock in the morning on July 8, 1994, Kim X-sung, the sun god of Goryeo and the world's longest-reigning leader (50 years), died of illness. After the death of Kim X-sung, the filial son of Kim X-day, according to the story of China's 24 filial piety, "strangely" spent three years of filial piety, which was when the national famine was raging and millions of people starved to death, while the head of state of Goryeo was in a blank state, which the West called "the mystery of the end of the twentieth century". I think that if in any Western country, the people would have rolled up his bedding and rolled out of the presidential palace, and this so-called socialist Democratic People's Republic of Korea actually staged a ridiculous scene of medieval father-to-son inheritance.
Kim X-day filial piety made his father's bones into a mummy for permanent preservation for the Goryeo people to pay respects, set his father's birth year as the "Juche first year", changed the Western Yuan to the Juche year, set his father's birthday as the "Sun Festival", built countless large and small "eternal life pagodas" in Goryeo for the people to worship, and declared his father to be the "eternal president of the country" of Goryeo. He also forced every Korean to celebrate two festivals a year, his father's "Sun Festival" and his "Dear Leader's Day". He told the people of Goryeo that everything depends on the sun for growth, and that there are three suns in the sky of Goryeo, one is the sun that shines and heats by nuclear fusion, and the other two are the suns of the Kim family that shine and heat by the "Juche idea" that constantly emerges in their heads. After Kim came to power openly, he developed his father's Juche ideology and created a military-first political approach. And the blind cult of personality of the Koreans say: both the East and the West unanimously recognize their great leader Kim X-il as the leader and sun of the twenty-first century. Jin X-ri is the world's outstanding thinker, great statesman, invincible commander, master of science and technology, literary and artistic genius, is an unparalleled great man of our time, and Jin X-cheng is a great man among great men.
Hearing what he saw, Shakru completely shook his confidence in investing in Goryeo, originally he only knew that the political shackles in Goryeo were exaggerated, but he never expected it to be exaggerated to this extent. (To be continued.) )
