Chapter 027 North Korea
Li Yuner walked alone for more than half an hour before returning to her residence. Based on the principle that she could save as much as she could, she was making money. She couldn't even bear to spend money on the bus, and it was all her own feet.
Kim Eun-hye, a North Korean who lives in the same room with her, was used to seeing her roommate sitting down to rest as soon as she came back.
She asked casually without any malicious intentions: "Are you back on foot?"
"There's no way! Who made me short of money?" Although Li Yun'er is the same ethnic group as the other party, she comes from two countries with completely different systems on the Korean Peninsula.
Even if there is a difference between them, they can still be reconciled. It is completely different from the two countries that are pointed at the top and are simply incompatible.
North Korea in 1983 was not worse than South Korea's economy, but it began to slow down a lot compared to the past, which was also the beginning of its own economic recession.
The North Korean economy began to fail completely. It was the collapse of the Soviet Union and mainland China also changed a series of free aid policies in the past.
After the 1990s, North Korea's "march of suffering" from 1994 to 2004, was the Great Famine of North Korea.
Before the 1980s, and before Park Chung-hee came to power to take over South Korea and carried out drastic economic reforms, North Korea's economic strength was much stronger than South Korea.
During that period, North Korea had initially achieved industrialization, while South Korea was still just a poor and backward agricultural country. Most Koreans really couldn't even eat enough.
The movie "The Fate of Kim Hee and Yin Hee" is not completely nonsense. As for the situation at the time of the film, North Korea's economy and living standards were far higher than South Korea.
Later generations were North Koreans who tried every means to run from North Korea to South Korea, while at that time, Koreans who tried every means to run from South Korea to North Korea.
Even the Koreans in RB were divided into two factions. The Koreans from the north looked down on the Koreans in the south. This was completely inverted by the Koreans in later generations looking down on the Koreans in the past.
RB has always played the role of a "transfer station" between North Korea and South Korea, both in the past, present, and even in later generations.
South Korea's economy began to develop rapidly after Park Chung-hee came to power, especially in the mid-to-late 1980s, creating the so-called Han River economic miracle.
By 1988, the Seoul Olympics in South Korea marked and symbolized the rise of the entire country of South Korea. It was one of the most famous Korean TV series "Please Answer 1988", which reflected that the living standards of ordinary Koreans at that time were already quite good.
This not only allows you to eat and wear well, but also has many non-staple foods such as Coca-Cola, video recorders, color TVs, cameras... and even private cars have already entered thousands of households when they are already driving.
"You are pretty and can find a man who can help you, so you don't have to live so hard." Jin Eun-hye got to her and said.
"There is no free lunch in the world. If you get the benefits of others, you need to pay it back." Li Yuner is not a simple-minded beautiful girl.
"After all, you are just unconscious. If you don't like RB men, there are also many Japanese and Korean men in Yokohama.
Some of them are doing well. As long as the two get married, they can also get the right to stay in RB for a long time." Kim Eun-hye said something.
Li Yuner listened to her obedient voice: "Why, you have a friendship activity again?"
"A lot of people have asked me, and I hope you can participate too. As for whether it will succeed, it is another matter.
You go and have a look, it's good! Maybe you can't help but have the boy you like here!" Jin Eun-hye said without any bad intentions.
"You know, I'm very busy all day long. In addition to working in a convenience store, I also have to go to a language school to attend classes.
Even if there is still some time left, I still have to read the books and make necessary preparations for further studies." On the one hand, Li Yuner expressed her polite rejection, but on the other hand, she was really not making excuses.
She came to study abroad in RB by herself, and it was not just a guise, but her real purpose was to make more money by working. She wanted to stay at RB in another more decent way.
"I really don't understand you. What do girls do when they read so many books? Even if you find a decent job, you will still want to get married in the end.
After getting married, they cooked and raised their children at home. While we are still young, why not have fun?" Kim Eun Hye showed her incomprehension.
Of course, Lee Yoon-er has long heard of the attitudes towards women in the RB society and the workplace. Even if a professional woman is a formal member in a big-hand company, she will quit her job because of marriage and become a full-time housewife.
She not only did not find this strange thing about Kim Eun Hye, but also did not think that the other party was not motivated.
In her heart, Kim Eun-hye could understand that beautiful girls like her members would have high vision. She guessed thoughtfully: "Can you bet you want to take the opportunity to enter a good company to meet those young RB elites and prepare for getting married in the future?"
"It's nothing at all. I still have this self-knowledge. As far as I know, even if the young RB elites don't look for girls of equal status, they will look for RB girls who are born and raised.
I am a Korean, so I'm afraid it's hard to see them. In addition, I'm still a Korean woman with no money and no family background."
It’s not unclear to Lee Yoon-ah. Although the hierarchy of RB society is not as strict as that of South Korea, it is also quite particular. Everyone is just dating and having fun, and it seems that they don’t care about these things.
If it is time to talk about marriage, I will pay special attention. I have long heard that it is very strange for formal members to marry informal members.
The RB people in Tokyo 23rd District cannot accept other RB people who are not in Tokyo 23rd District. In the minds of the native Tokyo people, except for the 23rd District of Tokyo, they are all in the countryside. This also includes Yokohama City, which has 24 wards next to the Tokyo metropolitan area.
"If you have such a clear understanding, I'm relieved. I'm worried that if you think about it, you'll be easily deceived. Don't you really plan to participate in our friendship activities?" Jin Eun-hye said calmly.
"I'm sorry, you'd better find someone else!" Li Yuner said from beginning to end without wanting to join the social circle where the other party was.
