On the international stage, it is difficult for a country to move from poverty to prosperity, but it may only take a moment to fall from the altar.
The country that the travel fungus wants to introduce today was once one of the richest countries in the world, but now it is so poor that only beautiful women are left, and they owe China more than 300 billion yuan and have no money to exchange, and even consider cutting the country to pay off the debt. From heaven to hell, from the richest man to the "first loser".VenezuelaWhat exactly has been going through?
Money is the least valuable "waste paper".Looking at the current situation in Venezuela, which is so poor, it is really embarrassing, because it has not always been like this. It has the world's largest oil reserves and was once one of the richest countries in South America. But the excessive dependence on oil has also sown the seeds of crisis in the country. 
In the seventies of the last century, thanks to the international oil price, Venezuela enjoyed an oil boom, and the middle class expanded rapidly. People don't need to work in the involution, and they don't have to think about other industries, just by selling oil, the whole country can not worry about eating and drinking. But this prosperity has also brought some negative effects, such as economic homogeneity, corruption, waste and social inequality. In 2014, they ushered in a "catastrophe". 
International oil prices**, fiscal revenues have been greatly reduced, unable to maintain the previous high expenditures, and unable to import enough food, resulting in prices**. Against this backdrop, Venezuela has to face not only a domestic crisis, but also foreign debts, including more than 300 billion yuan owed to China. At this time, **, like an ant on a hot pot, came up with a way that was not a solution, and printed a large amount of cash distribution overnight. In order to prevent inflation from reaching 1,000,000 percent,* monetary reform was announced. 3 zeros were erased from the face value of the new currency, but shortly after the new currency was launched, it depreciated sharply on the black market, and changed its rhetoric to say that it would "remove 5 zeros". 
The people of Venezuela have a lot of money in their hands, like waste paper, and they can't exchange it for any necessities. In order to survive, a large wave of people rushed to the door of the supermarket in the dark to queue up to buy daily necessities. 
on the Internet).
Due to the shortage of supplies, **ordered all food and daily necessities to be limited**, and at the same time to prevent looting, arranged for many armed troops to maintain order. 
Under the backdrop of this tense atmosphere, many people lost their minds and did not hesitate to beat the police and slam the door to break into the supermarket for a mouthful of food. But the scene in the supermarket is even more desperate, the shelves are empty, and the few things are sold at sky-high prices. In the small market of Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, a bar of soap costs as much as 3.5 million bolívars. (about RMB 700,000).
on the Internet) to buy a kilogram of carrots costs 3 million bolívars. (about 600,000 yuan) to buy a kilogram of tomatoes costs 5 million bolívars. (about 1 million yuan) to buy a kilogram of cheese costs 7.5 million bolívars. (about 1.5 million yuan) to buy a kilogram of meat costs 9.5 million bolívars. (about RMB 1.9 million).
Looking at this pile of "broken paper", buy something, it's not enough, keep it, it's useless. Many craftsmen have the idea of using paper money to fold into handicrafts and sell them to tourists. 
In the past, these were made with magazines, but now magazines are much more expensive than banknotes.
The trash cans are surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and people are crazy and generally grab things that can still be imported in the garbage.
Rotten food and discarded vegetable leaves are all regarded as treasures by them, rushing to stuff them in their mouths or put them in their bags to take home.
But garbage is also limited, and hunger makes them red-eyed, and they even attack skinny stray cats and dogs.
There were even people who were poisoned by eating rats on the side of the road.
When eating enough has become a luxury, there will be no "disease" in this world.
Hospitals have stopped accepting patients, few hospitals are open and there are no medicines, and many patients have to wait for death.
Even the most basic water and electricity in life has become a luxury.
In order to escape from the predicament, many people do not hesitate to take risks. Because the state controls people from leaving the country, it restricts the issuance of passports, and there is not so much paper to print passports, so many people choose to leave the country illegally.
It is no exaggeration to describe it as purgatory on earth!
The dark "beauty pageant factory".One of the most intriguing quotes from Venezuela is:"So poor that only beautiful women are left. ”Indeed, it is a fact that Venezuela is rich in beautiful women. Among the world's top three most beautiful events, the champion from Venezuela is the country with the most championships in the world. Among them, there is no lack of natural beauty of local girls, but at the same time, in Venezuela, which has developed beauty pageants into an industrial chain, beauty pageants are also a point of no return for local girls to get out of poverty. After the economic depression in Venezuela, boys chose to practice football in order to get ahead, while girls set their sights on the entertainment industry.
One of the most important reasons why Venezuelan girls participate in beauty pageants is that it is a way to make a quick buck. Writer Francisco Siniaga once wrote this passage in "Goodbye, Miss Venezuela":"For decades, a dark cloud has hovered over this country, reality has been polluted, what was once beautiful has become an abomination, and morality has been degraded.
Miss Venezuela is no exception, it has not escaped this plague and cannot save anything. ”
Venezuela is poor and education is not popular, so in the eyes of Venezuelans, it is really unreliable to change their fate by reading, and they prefer to believe in the power of beauty.
Judging from the beauty pageants from Venezuela who once won the award, after they won the award, some of them took advantage of this to immigrate to other countries, some married a rich man and became a Kota, and the least they could also get a fortune with expensive headdresses.
For example, Dayana, the 2008 champion, received a $23,500 title tiara, an apartment in New York, and a $390,000 scholarship from the New York Film Institute.
This is simply astronomical for Venezuelans.
on the Internet).
It is precisely because of this that the opportunity for beauty pageants to turn around has been circulating in the local area, and it has slowly attracted more people to follow.
With demand, it also stimulates related industries.
On the streets of Venezuela, especially in the capital Caracas, you can see many professional training schools for beauty pageants. Not only teenagers are in schools, but even children who have not dried up make up the vast majority. The teacher will divide the children into different levels of classes according to their appearance, body shape, and proportions, and how to walk, talk, and smile will be re-taught. These waist-high children, wearing heavy makeup and swimsuits, imitate the appearance of adults, showing a disobedient "mature beauty".
But learning these "reborn" skills at school requires a lot of money, and many families are smashing pots and selling iron for their children to learn how to be beautiful. In their opinion, only by becoming Miss Venezuela can they live a wonderful life.
It can be said that behind every child who studies in a beauty pageant is a family's desperate gamble.
In order to pursue flawless beauty, each child has to fall into an even greater quagmire.
According to the Venezuelan Society of Plastic Surgery, about 84,000 plastic surgeries are performed in Venezuela each year, and nearly $200 million is spent on plastic surgery.
The girls are almost 12 years old and have to start undergoing various surgeries.
In order to make the child grow taller, they will take the child to inject hormones, but hormone stimulation will cause the child to gain weight, in order to pursue a perfect body, they have to measure the measurements every day, the standard measurement of an adult woman is 90-60-90, in order to achieve this standard, these girls have been using waist corsets since they were young, and even have gastrointestinal resection surgery.
Illegal beauty clinics and prohibited beauty products are also becoming more and more rampant in Venezuela. Si has mentioned that many clinics use unlicensed biopolymerization injections for local filling, and the raw materials of these injections are petroleum derivatives, and countless girls have been disfigured and disfigured after being injected with this reagent.
It's not that they don't understand the darkness of this road, but there is only this road before their eyes.
Countless people will go in this life
Venezuelans' yearning for beauty is not only in the expectation of a better life, but also in the surrounding grass and trees.
Venezuela, known as the "Little Venice", is a country with a very diverse landscape.
It is home to a lot of magnificent natural scenery and a long history and culture.
With a land area of more than 900,000 square kilometers and a coastline of 2,813 kilometers, the locals are enthusiastic and unrestrained.
Angel FallsPouring down.
The green forest stretches like an ocean.
Deserts and snow-capped mountains coexist, and diversified tourism resources are simply a feast for the heavens.
Therefore, poverty cannot stop everyone's yearning for the beautiful scenery here.
Of course, compared with previous years, Venezuela has seen a significant improvement in both public security and economy in recent years.
On the premise of ensuring safety, this mysterious country is still well worth visiting.
