Meet the boy of the world - the West African male version of the weaver girl in Dakar
Dakar is the capital of the West African country of Senegal, but also a coastal city, because the capital is located in the westernmost point of the West African continent, like all countries, the surrounding towns and villages people flock to the capital, naturally resulting in higher prices than other capitals, such as Abidjan (the capital of Côte d'Ivoire) bananas are 100 West Fat 3, Dakar can only buy one for the same currency.
I see men on the street weaving cloth and then selling the finished product, and I'm like a country man who has never seen the world and keeps watching how they operate the whole process.
A teenager who saw my interest and happily sold me his own fabrics, he was only about 15 years old, I guess, I asked him if he didn't have to go to school. He said that he dropped out of school very early, he learned to weave cloth very early, and then sold the finished scarf for 2500 CFA francs (28 yuan), and the customers were mostly tourists like me, I admired him, he shouldered the responsibility of supporting his family at a young age, and supported himself, because Africa is not like China, there is a bigger stage for young people, I think in fact, people are very intelligent, as long as people are interested in their own fields or match their talents, they can always make their own achievements.
Out of admiration for him, I bought one from him, and honestly said that the so-called scarf was very hard and neck-stricken, and I rarely used it around it, and as I moved from country to country, I didn't know where to lose the scarf.
But whenever I see that Chinese young people can have several Valentine's Days a year under commercial operations, including the Chinese Lunar Seventh Festival, I can't help but think of the 15-year-old man and weaver girl, today he should also have his love, there must be! After all, he is so ingenious, intelligent and hardworking!
