North Korea, a curious and mysterious country

I don’t know if it’s because I watched the movie "Changjin Lake". Recently, I often like to watch videos about North Korea. I feel very curious and mysterious.

Looking at other people’s videos of traveling to North Korea, they are all led by the same two tour guides. No matter it is a large or small group, what you see is a staged scene, but the real North Korea Is it really as beautiful as the tour guide described?

North Korea has three major free policies, free education, free housing, and free medical care, and graduates are directly assigned jobs, which is truly socialism.

However, the supreme leader of North Korea is hereditary, which should not be in line with the socialist system. . .

In fact, outsiders can understand at a glance that the North Korean people have really been seriously brainwashed. Are they really happy living in such an isolated place?

It is said that the people of North Korea are divided into three types. One is the loyalists, who will be given preferential treatment and usually live in Pyongyang and the border areas; the other is the wavers, who will generally be allocated In rural areas; there is also a hostile faction, which will be assigned to rural areas far away from Pyongyang and border areas.

When traveling to North Korea, you are not allowed to travel independently, nor are you allowed to travel without a tour guide, which is somewhat of a cover-up.

All enterprises in North Korea are state-owned and there are no private enterprises. The first thing I do when I go to work every day is to praise the great leader Kim Il-sung and recite Juche thought.

No matter whether everything is as beautiful as described, no matter whether all material living conditions can be guaranteed, freedom alone is completely unbearable.

Although we have housing pressure, life pressure, and various pressures, as long as we are willing to work hard, we can at least guarantee a basic level of food and clothing, and the most important thing is to have a choice how to live. rights.

Over the past few decades, the number of North Korean defectors who have been desperately trying to escape have also allowed us to understand some of the real side. What you see is what others want you to see, otherwise why would there always be only What about those who fled abroad and did not flee to North Korea?

However, it is precisely because of the special national conditions of North Korea that people feel particularly curious. Every year, a large number of foreigners (mainly Chinese) want to experience this different country. This is also It has greatly boosted North Korea's tourism economy.

After watching so many videos of North Korea, I really want to experience it for myself. I want to see what it would be like in a world without the Internet, and I feel that North Korea’s painting style is very... Like China's 1970s and 1980s, it feels like going back to the past. If I have the chance, I really want to experience it~
