Las Vegas, a bustling city known as the "City of Lass Vegas", attracts countless tourists and gamblers every day to experience luxury and thrills. But behind the city, there is a surprising and sympathetic group hidden - the "mole people" in the sewers. Who are they?Why do they live underground?How are they doing?Is there any hope for them?
To answer this question, we must first understand the origin of the Las Vegas sewers. In 1975, Las Vegas suffered a rare and severe flood disaster that caused millions of dollars in damage. In order to prevent a similar incident from happening again, the state decided to build a large and complex drainage system underground.
The drainage system includes more than 600 miles long, thousands of meters wide, tens of thousands of meters deep, and hundreds of branch tunnels. One of the most conspicuous and lively is the overhead tunnel. Overhead tunnels are passageways that connect casinos, hotels, entertainment venues, and more. It is also one of the most expensive and luxurious places.
However, beyond the overhead tunnels, there is another, more mysterious and dangerous place - the sewers. Sewers are used to discharge sewage, garbage, waste and other debris generated within the city. It is also used to prevent flooding and polluting the environment.
Because the overhead tunnels are too conspicuous, crowded, and dangerous, many criminals and criminals choose to live in sewers. They use their own or others' discarded or picked up objects to build simple and dirty homes in holes or crevices. These homes are usually only a few square meters or so and do not have any facilities or services. They can only survive on food, water, clothing, etc., which they or others provide or collect.
"How's the Mole Man doing?
Although living in darkness, dark, damp, dirty, and foul smell, "Mole Man" has not given up the yearning and pursuit of a better life. In their own way, they create a unique and sophisticated way of life.
First of all, they have a rich and colorful entertainment activities. They will build small cinemas, halls, libraries, galleries and other places in the sewers, and enjoy the fun of culture and art with the collected electrical appliances, books, paintings and other items. They also hold various festivals and celebrations, such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, birthdays, etc., to express their blessings and feelings for each other with homemade gifts, cakes, ornaments, etc.
Second, they have strict and orderly social rules. They elect their own leaders, develop their own laws and ethics, and safeguard their own safety and interests. They also help and support each other, forming a close and harmonious community relationship.
Finally, they have a positive and optimistic mindset. They will not give up on themselves because of their predicament, but will work hard to find opportunities and hope to improve their living conditions. They will also not feel inferior because of their poverty, but will proudly display their talents and personality to earn their respect and recognition.
Despite the seemingly delicate life that "Mole People" live in the sewers, they still face many difficulties and dangers. Their living environment is extremely harsh and unhealthy, and they can be threatened by floods, diseases, pollution, pests and other threats at any time.
Their living resources are extremely limited and unstable, and they may face hunger, thirst, cold, robbery and other difficulties at any time. Their living status is extremely low and unfair, and they may be harmed by discrimination, oppression, exploitation, violence and other harms from the society above them at any time.
So, what does the future hold for them?There is no one definitive answer to this question, because their future depends on many factors, such as their own will, ability, opportunities, and the attitudes, policies, and actions of the society above them.
Some "mole people" may choose to remain in the sewers, maintaining their own lifestyle and community relationships, but also enduring their own life risks and hardships. Some "mole people" may choose to leave the sewers and seek their own life changes and social integration, but also face their own life challenges and social barriers.
The "Mole Men" in the Las Vegas Sewers are an astonishing and sympathetic group of people who live a unique and refined life in extreme circumstances and conditions. Their lives have both good and tragic sides. Their future is both hopeful and difficult.
Their stories are both inspiring and cautionary. They deserve our attention and understanding, but they also need our respect and help. They are our compatriots and our mirrors. They let us see the brilliance of humanity and reflect on social injustice. They are part of Las Vegas and part of the world.
