The Republic of Liberia, located in the western part of Africa, has a population of 4.9 million and covers an area of 110,000 square kilometers, "Liberia" means freedom and liberation in English.
Beginning in 1820, emancipated slaves from the United States were placed here, and the land was ruled by descendants of black immigrants in the United States.
Liberia is one of the least developed countries in the world and, as we think, its economy is relatively backward and has long been below the poverty line. 63.8 per cent of the population lived below the poverty line, ranking 177th in the Human Development Index, with a infant mortality rate of 5.3 per cent, a maternal mortality rate of 0.73 per cent and a life expectancy of 61 years.
Mr. Michael Jackson once had a song "Liberian Girl", this song was included in the 1987 album, it is said that this song Jackson has been written in 1983, drawing inspiration from marbles, in the video of this song, there are a number of big names, Jackson only shows his face at the end, holding a camera to take pictures of the stars.
Liberia is still a relatively expensive plant, but also a kind of unpopular succulent, I believe that many families can see her figure on the balcony.
Liberia has a typical tropical monsoon climate with an average temperature of 25 degrees Celsius.
From January to May, the average maximum temperature is 31 degrees Celsius, and July to September is the cold season, with an average temperature of less than 28 degrees Celsius. In our minds, Africa seems to be a continent that is very hot all year round, but in fact, in Liberia, the temperature is around 30 degrees Celsius all year round.
Liberia is rich in diamonds and gold, with abundant mineral deposits of rutile and kyanite, producing 20,000 carats of diamonds per year and earning nearly $2.7 million in foreign exchange. It accounted for 13% of GDP for the year. Liberia has a forest cover of 59% and produces rosewood, mahogany and mahogany.
Liberia's capital is Monrovia, with a population of 1.15 million. Because the annual precipitation exceeds 5000 mm, it is also one of the rainiest regions in the world, and has the title of The Rain Capital of Africa.
Liberia is also known as Africa's natural rubber kingdom, merchant ship kingdom, and grain coast.
The flag of Libya was inaugurated in 1847. At first glance, it looks very much like the American flag. It consists of 11 parallel horizontal strips of red and white, and the upper left corner is a blue square with a pure white five-pointed star inside. Many locals would print the flag on their clothes and wear it on their bodies, and the five-pointed star symbolized that it was the only black republic in Africa at that time.
In our impression, Africans are very capable of having children, but in Liberia, the fertility rate is very low, each family basically has only one child, and the local implementation of a very strict "ban on abortion" is imposed, and the fine for violators is equivalent to 280,000 yuan.
The president of Liberia is Giorgio Weah, who has played for well-known football clubs such as Premier League, Chelsea Manchester City, Ligue 1 Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain, Serie A AC Milan and so on. In 1995 he was awarded the World Footballer of the Year and the European Footballer of the Year. After retiring from the military, George became involved in national affairs and was elected president of Liberia in 2017.
The illiteracy rate in Libya was 58 per cent and free education was practised in primary and secondary schools, but the out-of-school rate for children was also very high, at 50 per cent.
Liberian shoes are always extra strong, sandals sold on the side of the road, look a lot like second-hand goods, this sandal material is tires, made of shoes are 10 times more durable than the usual shoes.
Liberian propaganda posters are extra large, extra easy to understand, many locals can also understand, can you see what kind of poster this is?
Every year in June, in the northern city of Liberia, a very special competition is held, the purpose of which is to select the fattest male dog, and the owners of these participating dogs will frantically pour in a large amount of cow blood and milk, so that the dogs will quickly gain weight, in order to win the competition.
Liberia is close to the sea, a variety of fish and seafood, the locals eat a lot of barbecue, this tin foil wrapped onion lamb, very much like our northeast "taste meat", there are toothpicks and onions, with a piece of bread, basically can solve a lunch.
On the side of the road in the township, barbecue stalls, large colorful umbrellas, and below a skinny Liberian child skillfully flipping kebabs next to the grill can be seen. All kinds of lamb kebabs, very fragrant, far away, saliva will slip from the mouth.
