Preface
As we all know, the manufacturing industry in the mainland is very strong, and even if you go abroad, you may see buildings or objects made in China, but these are small things.
In addition to manufacturing, the mainland's infrastructure is also very developed, and in 2019, the country of India was exposed to a proud statue made in China.
At that time, the local people felt very incredible, and the whole of India exploded for a while, because when building this statue, India spent a huge amount of 34 billion yuan to build it, and there were tens of thousands of workers.
These add up enough to see the importance that India attaches to this statue, and after it is completed, people will be proud of it and regard it as a faith, but they did not expect that behind this, it is indeed from China.
What's the story?
The largest statue in the world
The statue is so magnificent that it has a total height of 182 meters, and when it was built, it was originally planned to be 98 meters, but because India wanted to show that it was not ordinary, it changed 98 meters to 182 meters.
This height is much higher than the statue of the Goddess of Victory in the United States, and it has become the largest statue in the world, and its name is Patel.
The reason for this is that Patel is the leader of the Indian Major-Party and has made great contributions to India, so people respect him very much, so when they decided to use his image for this statue, people have nothing to blame.
And at that time, in the early stage of construction, the famous designer Sutar was found to design the shape of the entire sculpture, and Sutar finally completed the design draft for nearly a year.
When the people of India learned that there was a lot of money to build these Yonghua, many people maintained an attitude of opposition, thinking that it was not worth the amount of money spent on just building a building.
All this money should have been spent on the masses, but not only did it not end up on them, but the Indian government persuaded them to take a little bit out of it to build it, because the people who responded to it knew about Patar's deeds, so they became willing.
After the official start of the project, it was difficult to build the core of the statue, and India did not have good experience in this area, so after repeated discussions, it came to China to ask for help.
And their request is for Chinese companies to help them complete the construction, and then find a way to ship it back to India when it is finished, and then they can assemble it themselves.
In order to ensure the safety and confidentiality of the whole process, India reported that Chinese companies have made a series of strict measures, and even if the Indian government and media at that time knew about it, they would choose to shut up, after all, India will not admit that it is not capable.
The construction process
The construction process was very smooth, and the statue that took five years and cost 34 billion to build was finally seen by the people of India, but it seems that a statue that brings honor to the country hides a shocking secret.
After the revelation that the statue was made in China, the people of the whole country of India reacted violently, believing that they had been deceived, after all, they had always believed that the statue was built by the Indian state itself.
That's why they gave away their most precious things without any thoughts, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, and some people even said that the dignity of the Indian state had been used by senior leaders to make a deal with foreign companies.
But civilians are civilians after all, and they dare not speak out, only occasionally sitting together and grumbling to vent their dissatisfaction with India's decision.
Although these are all small things, but all the things add up to a big thing, and then there is one thing that makes the Indian people even more angry, that is, the issue of compensation.
Because the construction of buildings needs to occupy people's agricultural land or residential land, and if they want to occupy it, they have to pay for it, and many people have to move out of the places where they have lived for decades because the government wants to build buildings.
At that time, the government policy was to give people a certain amount of subsidies, but after the construction of the building, the compensation money was gone, which also made the local residents feel very uneasy.
On the one hand, there is no compensation paid, and on the other hand, it is a problem for oneself to live at the moment.
But the government just let out the words, and when the statue is seen by everyone, India also specially spent money to organize a huge unveiling ceremony.
and also invited people from the Quduo Song and Dance Troupe to perform a wonderful show, all of which seemed so beautiful, but on the issue of compensation, there were still many people who couldn't think about it, and they wanted to make trouble while there were many people.
And the Indian high-level seems to have thought of this, and deliberately found many security personnel to maintain order at the scene, seeing this scene, even if there is more resentment in their hearts, there is nothing they can do with the government.
Not only that, after the ceremony, the Indian high-level also took the stage to give a speech, saying that this day is a day worth remembering for all Indian people, and this one place also represents the dialogue between India and the world.
His remarks show that India has become an economic and military power, but at this time he did not show that this is made in China, and at the moment when everything is not torn in the face, the people still love the Indian high-level very much.
And when everything is in front of them, it is unbearable for the Indian people, the compensation and food subsidies have not been paid, and many people are already poor, so many people are extremely angry.
At this point, in the real life of India, there are many people who do not recognize this sculpture, although he won the world's tallest sculpture, but he lost the respect of the people, because he did not bring better benefits and life to the people.
epilogue
In the beginning, the decision to change 98 meters to 182 meters may have been wrong, for the sake of the so-called face, to deduct a trace of flesh and blood from the people, this is not the life that people want.
If you want to use a sculpture to maintain your position in the world, it is a bit unrealistic, what you should really do is to spend more time to improve the lives and conditions of the people, and strive to make the people live a good life.
Don't try to save face for the sake of face, otherwise the result will definitely be a swollen face and a fat man, such behavior is not recognized by the world, and it is not recognized by the people of your own country.
