People in Bhutan are living Lei Feng "happiness" into the country

These two years, small South Asian Bhutan caused extraordinarily attention in domestic media. Internet search, a piece of praise! For example, the author dreamily described: "spring trees issued a tender bud, the air was filled with the scent of the leaves, all this is really fascinating. Bhutan several king are visionary, won the people's respect and love. The king that his people each have a field, education, medical all free of charge."

In Bhutan

Garrulous Wangchuck happy life

Wangchuck: who are they? It is the former king Wangchuck III. His happy life will not press, we first have a look at this beautiful and harmonious democracy behind, the people's real life.

The kingdom of Bhutan is located on the southern slope of Himalaya Range, only with Chinese andIndiaBorder, with much land and few people, humid climate, natural condition is superior. The total population of 695000 (equivalent toHubeiHuanggang city Hong'an County, population 650000), an area of 46000 square kilometers (ratioTaiwan36000 square kilometers).

Industry. Based on forestry and agriculture, the agricultural population accounts for 79% of the total population, the per capita GDP of $712 in 2005.

Traffic. In 1962 the first national highway traffic. In 2001, the total highway mileage of 3745 kilometers. Mountain to horses as the main means of transport.

Life. In 1999 65% of the population lacks electricity, but also the most exported product is hydropower (sold to India). 2003 March, Bhutan Bhutan mobile telecommunications start a phase of the project. The big three of the country's daily consumption of residents is: watch, radio, electric rice cooker, occupancy rates were 75%, 67% and 31%.

Culture. The adult literacy rate was only 60%. According to reports, the new school children are not learning a lot of Bhutanese, replace sb. Is the momentum of english. If a country has 40% illiteracy rate, and can read and write a national language people less and less, so the traditional culture and how to get the preservation and inheritance? Elite does not tell us.

Medical care. It is said that the country achieved 100% coverage universal health care. Can a per capita GDP is only $700 countries (Bhutan residents mainly eat chili and pickles, mostly vegetarian) can enjoy what level of health care? Perhaps in the elite opinion, the people living in that paradise not all, every piece of vitamin C is sufficient to maintain forever health.

Seeing is believing. Let's listen to Bhutan the feelings of the people. Cultural celebrities Feng Lun in 2010 October from the beginning of Bhutan, is Bhutan's "teacher" GNH flicker almost bought crutch. But after calm down, he wrote a "happy" in Bhutan's article, said: "when we leave Bhutan, return to Bangkok turn for the better, all ideas once again changed, the material is very important in Bhutan every day, don't eat well, thin many, you take a shower, feel very not walk convenient, they said 9 years ago to watch tv......"

Calm! Elite said, Bhutan people do not care about material enjoyment, people pursue is the spirit of fairness, justice and peace.

Then we'll see the people's political life and spiritual home of the other side.
