But in the world,There is such a country, and its nearest neighbor is more than 1,600 kilometers away。What's more, you don't really have to worry too much about the language when you get there, becauseThe Chinese are the fifth largest ethnic group there.
And such a "paradise"-like country isNew Zealand
In 2002, a film calledThe Lord of the Ringsof the film was released in China. As soon as the film was released, it attracted the attention of a large number of Chinese audiences because of its wild imagination and beautiful scenery.
Many Chinese viewers were curious about the country in which such a beautiful landscape was filmed, and there was a heated discussion about it.
However, when the news about the movie appeared, the name of the filming location of the movie surprised the Chinese people, because it was filmed in a country that many Chinese people have never heard ofNew Zealand
Due to the distance between New Zealand and the major regions of the world, New Zealand was not well known to the rest of the world for a long time.
But it also keeps the country away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and there are almost no territorial conflicts. More importantly,Despite being an island in the middle of the ocean, New Zealand offers spectacular beauty that will delight anyone who has ever visited New Zealand.
And that's not all,New Zealand's climate is temperate to the oceanIf you know a little bit about geography, you'll know thatThe temperate ocean climate is one of the best on Earth.
"There is no severe cold in winter, no scorching heat in summer, uniform precipitation throughout the year, and a mild and humid climate. ”
This is how people evaluate the temperate marine climate.
It can be said thatIt is undoubtedly a very happy thing to live in such a country that is far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and has a comfortable natural environment and beautiful natural landscapes.
So who lives in New Zealand today?
New Zealand has a population of about five million people, of which:Most are descendants of European immigrants.
Coupled with the fact that New Zealand has a similar climate to many European countries, the descendants of European immigrants here still retain many of their original characteristics after hundreds of years of life.
This also makes many New Zealand women very fair-skinned, and more importantly,New Zealand girls are also very open-mindedThey often choose a variety of unique clothes to wear, which makes New Zealand women look very dazzling.
It is because they are very good at expressing themselvesNew Zealand girls are also very bold and direct in their attitude towards love.
Many New Zealand girls have had multiple boyfriends before they get married, they are constantly trying to find a man who can really be dated for a lifetime.
And except for the descendants of Europeans,There are also many people in New Zealand who are descendants of the former indigenous Maori people。These Maori people have lived in New Zealand far from the mainland for a long time, which has given birth to a very unique culture.
In the culture of the Maori people, famous"Maori War Dance".is a very well-known part of it.
At an international basketball tournament a few years ago, the New Zealand team showed their respect and respect to their opponents, the United States, with their distinctive Maori war dance.
It's just that the shouting Maori war dance made many American stars at that time look confused.
In recent years, with the continuous protection and promotion of traditional indigenous culture in New Zealand**, Maori war dance has gradually developed in many countries around the world, and has become a form for many people to express their respect and support for others.
With the exception of Europeans and native Maori, nearly 10 percent of New Zealand's population is Asian, with a total population of more than 200,000The Chinese are the fifth largest ethnic group in New Zealand.
The number of Chinese in New Zealand is very largeThis is because New Zealand is very inclusiveMany Chinese people also come here because of the beautiful scenery and slow-paced life of New Zealand.
Walking on the streets of New Zealand,You will easily hear familiar Chinese conversations, which will make you feel like "I feel like I live in China".
Well, since New Zealand's demographics are so diverse,What about New Zealand's overall development and social welfare?
In the impression of many people,If you want to develop the economy, you must have a good position, and there must be some industries or highly developed countries around it, only in this way can you better develop the economy.
However, all this is naturally impossible for New Zealand, because its nearest neighbor is more than 1,600 kilometers, and it is very difficult for New Zealand to have normal economic exchanges and cooperation with other countries.
But New Zealanders have their own way. We mentioned the famous one aboveThe Lord of the RingsThe series was filmed in New Zealand.
But actually, byThe film production industry in New Zealand is very well-developed, so that many internationally renowned film crews have produced films in New Zealand, including "Avatar".
In addition to film production, New Zealand, which is not a large area, also produces a large number of minerals, and has to cultivate various agricultural and animal husbandry through a comfortable climateNew Zealand's level of economic development is very high.
In fact, New Zealand is a developed country with a per capita GDP of more than $40,000, and the developed economy makes New Zealand's social welfare very good.
In New Zealand,The benefits cover almost every aspect of societyFrom the various medical insurances faced by children at birth, to the various educations they have to face when they grow up, they are all supported by New Zealand**.
Not only that, in New Zealand, once a woman is pregnant, then she will enjoy all kinds of help provided by the state, and families with newborns can also receive a large number of various subsidies from the state.
When a New Zealander retires, he can easily access a variety of social benefits, and he does not need to worry about any lack of funds in his later years.
So, life in New Zealand is a paradise for those who work long hours and have a lot of stress all year round.
So, how did New Zealand, which is like a paradise, develop?
"The history of the family of "Paradise Outside the World"——·
As mentioned earlier, the largest population in New Zealand is of European descent, so what New Zealand is truly known to outsiders today is naturally from the era of European colonization.
However,At that time, New Zealand was not as developed as it is now, after all, Australia, which was much larger than New Zealand, was just a place of exile.
And after New Zealand was discovered by European colonizers, it was only because of its unique climateNew Zealand became an important agricultural production base under British control at that time.
After the end of World War II, with New Zealand's accession to the economic system dominated by the United States and Britain, coupled with New Zealand's unique natural environment, this made itNew Zealand's economy has grown rapidly.
After entering the 21st century, with the continuous development of economic globalization, in order to be able to get more benefits in the wave of globalizationNew Zealand's culture is becoming more inclusive, which has led to many immigrants from all over the world joining New Zealand.
The entry of immigrants not only makes New Zealand's cultural development gradually diversified, but also enables New Zealand to absorb a large number of outstanding talents from all over the world, which further promotes the continuous improvement of New Zealand's economic and technological level.
Although the New West is "lonely" adrift in the South Pacific, with the development of the Internet and economic globalization, New Zealand has not really gone beyond the "mortal dust".Many of the social issues we encounter are also encountered in New Zealand.
In today's international situation, even New Zealand has been affected to some extent.
So, in the face of an increasingly complex and volatile international situation, it remains to be seen whether New Zealand, which has always been known for its inclusiveness and openness, can adhere to its values.
