As a neighboring country, North Korea has always been one of the popular tourist destinations for Chinese tourists. However, many people's impression of North Korea is still stuck in terms of backwardness, poverty, and isolation. Today I would like to share some facts about North Korea.
On the question of the per capita wage in North Korea. Indeed, according to official data, the average salary in North Korea is only about 350 yuan. However, there are many complex realities hidden behind this number.
The first thing to be clear is that North Korea is a planned economy, and under this system, wages do not represent a person's true income level. In fact, in many industries, there are various subsidies and benefits in addition to the basic salary. For example, those who are engaged in more professional positions in the fields of health care and education can enjoy higher allowances and bonuses.
Secondly, in most cities, there are relatively complete and cheap public services (such as hospitals, schools, transportation, etc.), which also reduces people's living costs. In addition, the DPRK government has implemented a series of social welfare policies, such as free medical care, housing subsidies, etc., which also provide people's livelihood.
Finally, I would like to turn to the living conditions of the Korean people. Despite economic sanctions and hardship, the North Korean people remain positive, optimistic and good-looking. They pay attention to family harmony, neighborhood mutual help, and show their pursuit and love for good things in their daily lives.
In short, when visiting North Korea, we should get rid of prejudices and stereotypes and truly understand the country and its people. They may have more advantages and happiness than we do.
