Life is not only about the reluctance and exhaustion in front of you, but also about the uninhibited and romantic life in the distance! After all, the world is so big, everyone wants to see it. This is the cry of each of us from the depths of our souls, and no one is exempt from it.
Seeing this, some people may say that the economic conditions do not allow it, there is no time to travel, etc., but in fact, these are just excuses. If the conditions are better, we can go to the surrounding Japan and South Korea, in fact, including Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, which are also very popular with the Chinese people, and can even cross the ocean to France, Italy and the United States.
Today, a small island country in the South Pacific has attracted widespread attention from the Chinese people, and many friends may not have heard of this country at all, it is Nauru. On January 24, according to CCTV News, China and Nau officially resumed diplomatic relations. The representatives of the two countries also signed the Joint Communiqué of the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Nauru on the Resumption of Diplomatic Relations. So what kind of country is Nauru?
1. Nauru is a small island country in the South Pacific Ocean, located 60 kilometers south of the equator, this country has a very small land area, only 21 square kilometers, and a population of about 12,400 people. The country of Nauru is legendary, as it is a country that has made its fortune on guano, and the people of Nauru really have to thank the birds that have been on this island for tens of thousands of years. It's just that with the development of social economy and the changes of the times, Nauru is no longer as rich as it used to be.
2. Nauru is the smallest island country in the world and the third smallest country in the world. As we all know, the smallest country in the world is the Vatican, followed by Morocco, both of which are European countries and both are very wealthy. Compared to these two, Nauru was no worse than these two. As early as 1975, Nauru's GDP per capita reached $35,000, four times that of the United States at the time. This shows how arrogant the people of Nauru were at that time. After having money, the people of Nauru are all kinds of enjoyment, they eat lobster and abalone imported from Australia, buy all kinds of food and luxury goods from all over the world, in short, consume and consume. We all know that people suddenly forget their roots after they are developed, and they cannot last long without the consciousness of being prepared for danger in times of peace, and Nauru has also encountered this situation.
3. Why is Nauru so rich and rich? This is inseparable from guano. It is said that this island is the only one in the nearby 1.4 million square kilometers of water, so for tens of thousands of years, countless birds have stopped here, and over time these bird droppings have accumulated more and more, gradually forming a mineral called phosphate. Here is a popular science for you, phosphate is a very important chemical raw material, which can be widely used in national defense, medicine, food and fertilizer. It wasn't until 1901 that a German geologist discovered the mine, which began Nauru's "guano mining" process. It's just that the Nauruans have been mining guano too hard, and after just over 20 years, by the end of the 20th century, this mineral resource was almost exhausted.
4. After the rich Nauruans, they are too lazy to eat, and they don't make coconuts anymore, and they don't grow food crops anymore. All daily necessities and goods were imported, and soon almost all the people of Nauruan became big fat people, becoming the country with the highest obesity rate in the world, which also created serious health risks.
5. The land area of Nauru is not large, and the whole country has built a ring road. After the Nauruans, every family has a sports car, and in their spare time, Nauruans like to drink beer and drive on the fast road.
6. Nauru is an extremely water-scarce country, this country is not large, although it is surrounded by the sea, but there are no fresh water resources, and their water resources are all dependent on imports, of course, from Australia.
7. For some reason, the people of Nauru are particularly fond of having children, with an average of four children per family, and English is also the official language of Nauru.
8. After the rich Nauruan people achieved free medical care, free education and free housing, but with the depletion of phosphate minerals, the good life of the Nauru people is gone, and more serious is that the Nauruan people have overexploited mineral resources, which has greatly damaged the local ecological environment, and when they want to grow food, they find that the land has no longer grows seedlings.
9. The people of Nauru, who have lost their wealth, are not willing to sink here, so they come up with a few "good ideas" to make money. For example, it provides tax avoidance and money laundering services to some gangsters and certain forces. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that neither of these methods of making money was a long-term solution, so it was quickly stopped by the United Nations, and then the Nauru government helped Australia to host refugees and make profits, receiving a subsidy of $1,200 for each refugee accepted for Australia.
10. The future of Nauru is really unknown. The devastated island is said to be unfit for human life, but there is no better way to do it, and there is a proposal to annex Nauru to New Zealand and Australia.
11. I see that a friend recommended a tourist vacation to Nauru, which I am very opposed, on the one hand, the country is very small, there is really no place to play, and secondly, we have no direct flights to here in China.
