For northerners, living in the south, there is a lot of fear dominated by "strange creatures", such as the big cockroach in the south, which is a nightmare for many northerners who have just arrived in the south.
What people did not expect, however, was that in the south, there were leaves that could dominate the fears of northerners, in addition to cockroaches. Maybe some friends will say, what is there to be afraid of in a fallen leaf? You know, however, there are many strong men in the south who have been stunned by falling leaves, and even tragic deaths by falling leaves.
So, what kind of southern fallen leaves can smash the strong man who passes by?
In 2014, a man in Taipei City, Taiwan Province, Mainland China, riding a motorcycle on Ren'ai Road, was suddenly hit by a fallen leaf, and then fell on the road in the dark.
In May 2015, a man in Nanjing County, Fujian Province, walking on Zhongshan North Road in the county seat, was suddenly hit by a fallen leaf that "fell from the sky", and the people in the shop next to him, seeing that someone had been smashed, rushed out to check and helped to the hospital for rescue, but because of the serious injury, the man who was hit by the fallen leaves was unfortunately killed.
In May 2021, a man from Foshan, Guangdong Province, was hit by a fallen leaf on the side of the road when passing by the hospital entrance, and then was found by the hospital security guards and rushed into the hospital for rescue, but fortunately the man finally escaped from danger.
In addition to the strong men who will hit the passing, there are also many female friends who are recruited. For example, in July 2012, two women in Xiamen were walking and chatting, but they did not want to be hit by falling leaves at the same time, both of them were knocked unconscious, and then they were taken to the hospital by passers-by.
In addition, the fallen leaves in the south will also smash the cars parked under the trees, for example, in 2013, a private car in Xiamen was hit by falling leaves, and this fallen leaf was also inserted into the window, smashing the glass of the car.
I have to say that the fallen leaves in the south are really very surprising, which is in the north, it is estimated that only the winter "ice skater" can apply for the battle, and the southern leaves "compete".
So, what kind of southern fallen leaves will actually kill passers-by? This is actually related to a very common green plant in the south, the king coconut tree, and the fallen leaves of the passerby are the leaves of the king coconut tree.
So, what is the Great King Coconut Tree? How powerful is it?
The King Coconut Tree, not a native coconut tree on the mainland, but a fruit tree imported from Cuba, has been planted in most parts of the southern part of the mainland, especially in Guangdong, Fujian and other places, and has always been used as a green ornamental tree on both sides of the road.
Maybe some friends will say that even if the leaves of the coconut tree are large, it is also a leaf, and how heavy will it be? Here we underestimate the leaves of the big king coconut tree, after the rain, sucking the rain of the big king coconut tree leaves, its weight can reach about 60 pounds, you can imagine, a heavy object that fell from the sky of more than 60 pounds, snapped on the head, or the body, how terrible, the king coconut tree leaves are like this.
Therefore, the unsuspecting person walked under the tree of the Great King Coconut Tree, and was suddenly hit by the falling leaves, and naturally it was easy to be smashed, or die.
So, since the leaves of the King Coconut Tree are so powerful, why not cancel the planting?
Since the 1970s, many places in the south of the mainland have successively planted the King Coconut Tree, mainly because the coastal cities in the south have planted such ornamental green plants, which will look very seaside, and compared to other green plants, the King Coconut Tree is also more beautiful.
Although there is indeed a phenomenon of falling leaves and hurting people, in fact, as long as it is a tree, there will be a situation of dead leaves falling, and the same is true for the king coconut tree, in general, as long as the relevant departments clean up the dead leaves of the king coconut tree in time, it is also possible to avoid the occurrence of injuries.
However, since almost every year, there will be a situation where the leaves of the king coconut tree hurt people, which means that in the case that people cannot predict when it will fall, it is unrealistic to send people to guard all the king coconut trees for 24 hours, not to mention, even if it is artificially pruned and maintained, in the southern coastal areas, there is a safety hazard, that is, typhoons.
When the typhoon day comes, even if the leaves of the king coconut tree that have not turned into dead leaves may be blown off by the typhoon, so it is easy to cause injuries and destruction.
Therefore, from a safety point of view, in fact, many southerners are also opposed to the continued planting of the king coconut tree, especially in many unmanaged communities, there are also many king coconut trees, which have become a "sharp blade" hanging over the heads of the surrounding residents due to the lack of special pruning.
In May last year, in a small area in Fujian Province, a man was walking downstairs when he was almost hit by the fallen leaves of the Dawang coconut tree. According to his description of the aftermath, if it was 2 seconds late, it would be smashed squarely. So, in your opinion, should the king of the south coconut tree continue to be planted?
