Another "City of God" Napoli

I got to know the city of Napoli through a Taiwanese travel show called "Adventure King". To be honest, this show is really good, because its perspective is shot from the angle of ordinary people, so Saying everything seems kind and natural. Unlike CCAV's travel programs, they pretend to be tasteful and reserved with taxpayers' money, and they only enter and exit some ancient castles, museums, palaces, etc. that are only allowed to enter with privileges. Woolen cloth? Or is it to provide a reference for some privileged people to travel? unknown.

Speaking of Naples, it is said that this is the birthplace of pizza, but some people say that pizza was born in China and is the scallion pancake that people often eat. Putting this controversy aside for a while, it's like discussing whether there is a hamburger or a roujiamo first. But one thing is for sure, Napoli was once brilliant in history. As far as the Greek civilization, as far as the French Anjou (Anjou), Spain's Aragon (Aragon) family, Bourbon (Bourbon) and Habsburg (Habsburg) have all stopped and competed here, calling it the It is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the ancient cities with the deepest deposits in Europe.

But Napoli is now world-famous for its mafia and astronomical unemployment. According to Italian official statistics in 2006, the unemployment rate in Naples was as high as 24.7%, and the unemployment rate for young people under the age of 30 was as high as 60%. Therefore, Toto in the film wanted to become a member of comorra at the age of 13, and social factors were a big root. Similarly, Marco and Shiro naively want to take over the gang business, which has to be said to be a social code of conduct. Because there are about 4,000 underworld gang members operating in Naples, the annual income from intimidation and forcible protection fees from businesses is as high as 30 billion euros. Over the past five years, 357,000 shops in Napoli and the large province of Cambania, to which it belongs, have been closed due to gangster extortion.

Can't help but think of the film "City of God" by Fernando Meirelles. If the slums of Rio de Janeiro are places where the devil does not want to be. Then Naples is another city that is despised by the devil. There is no devil or God, just a group of "Gomorrahs" split into many active factions like a virus, constantly fighting for territory and excluding dissidents. Among them, we even found Chinese people. Even in such a city, there are Chinese people who have traveled far and wide to seek a living. It is conceivable that China's domestic living conditions may not be the worst but worse than Napoli. [By Vincentspring]
