A few years ago, I paid attention to a video of a travel broadcaster, I don't know if you have seen it, the big head and the small head go to travel, this is a couple, they have been traveling around several developing countries over the years, such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, etc., ordinary people in these countries from clothing, travel, housing, diet, income consumption, etc. Can be seen, much lower than our ordinary people. In many places, it is obvious that the income is low and the consumption is high, so that the people's life will never be better.
Take the current area of Bangladesh as an example, the big head and the small head met a tricycle brother here, the tricycle brother is very real, the personal family life is not smooth, after the big head and the small head and him are familiar, decided to help him, and finally built a house for him, from building a house to buying furniture basically responsible for the whole process. In the end, it cost about thirty or forty thousand yuan, and I calculated that we are now building three houses plus a toilet and kitchen, and the same pattern as that, in the northern rural areas, it probably needs 100,000 yuan. The material is cheaper than our side, and the wages are also cheap, such as masons 40-80 yuan \ days, in our side of the day small workers should now basically be 150-250, big workers 300-500 a day, basically four times theirs. We see that the tricycle brothers (around 30, which in our area should be the most profitable age) have only twenty or thirty dollars left a day.
Wages are low over there, but the prices of goods like us are not low, and most of them are higher than ours. For example, our egg price, most of the egg price is 4-5 yuan / kg (feeding eggs), each about 0.5-0.7 yuan a, big head and small head in the side of the often eat eggs is also in line with this price. The favorite Coke to drink is about three yuan a bottle, the same as our side, of course, this Coke price should be a global price. The income is lower than ours, but the consumer price doesn't make much difference, so it does look very low on this day.
The day we bought a refrigerator after the back room was built, we could also see the price of the local refrigerator, of course, most of them were our Chinese refrigerator brands. Many of them are much more expensive than our country
Gree air conditioning price is relatively high, are a few thousand yuan, I look at it also feel so expensive, my family's cabinet is only 5,000 yuan.
The refrigerators inside seem to be made in the mainland, of course, in Bangladesh are imported, the big head said that there are more than 1,000 domestic, it seems to sell 2, 3 thousand there. Why is the local income so low, but I want to improve the standard of living a little, but these electrical appliances are so expensive. In fact, many domestic cabbage prices.
There is another thing, that is, the local traffic is very inconvenient, the local home has very little means of transportation, we imagine the rural areas of our country, twenty years of traffic is mainly to test what, is not also by public transportation, there are no motorcycles and electric vehicles, let alone any cars, of course, the road is not repaired. The same is true in Bangladesh, where the village is muddy when it rains. Travel is basically public transportation, or a tricycle, that is, the kind of electric tricycle (ordinary people are difficult to buy, the latest video shows that the big head and small head try to figure out whether to let the tricycle brothers drive a tricycle in their hometown). Therefore, it is obvious that the people in the rural areas of Bangladesh have inconvenient transportation (they are still plains, and the cost of building roads is not very low), they have no money, and it is very expensive to buy things. I think of when I was a child, about the 90s, a 24-inch large color TV cost 1800 yuan, but only a few people could afford it. The tricycle brother in the video does not have a TV at home now. The tricycle brothers-in-law's house has a TV, but it's that kind of desktop, and we've long since eliminated it.
Some time ago I bought a Xiaomi TV 65-inch for my parents in Jingdong, about 1890 yuan, and I felt the price of cabbage.
Some people say that this is an increase in living standards and a decrease in prices brought about by scientific and technological progress, but if you look at the ordinary rural areas of Bangladesh, there is no such thing. They want to buy estimates that this price can not buy. In addition, I said more, bought in Jingdong, in our remote area, it was actually delivered to the door, imagine the mountainous areas of Xiangxi, we drove the county town to home for about three hours, 110 kilometers, and further 4 or 5 hours. JD.com's service is really good, but it can have this service now, ten years ago and twenty years ago, and now Bangladesh should not have it. Speaking of which, I think our lives are really much better now than they used to be.
Now, don't care where you are, as long as you want to make money, you should have a chance.
For example, tea, this picking technique, can be picked more than a thousand catties a day, and the income is about 1,000 yuan.
Now what is visible to the naked eye is really much better. Same jobs, but the income is several times that of the people of which countries, and the price is lower.
In fact, the ordinary people in developed countries in Europe and the United States have a higher standard of living, the same work as us, the salary is also several times ours, and the price of many food industrial products may be cheaper than ours, which is high purchasing power, this is high welfare.
So there is no harm without comparison, but can we just say that we just think, no, these high welfare we also want, then we can only pray that our country is stronger, richer and stronger, so that our welfare is also more.
Come on, my country!! Come on, my people!!!
