CỬU LONG THÀNH TRẠI - NƠI CHẬT CHỘI NHẤT QUẢ ĐẤT Ở HONG KONG

Hello everyone, I don't know if you are sitting, standing or lying down when watching this video, but I'm pretty sure you're sitting in a spacious and private place, right? Enough for you to comfortably stand up and walk around without touching any children. But imagine if you are in a place with the most populous population in the world. This is India, the most populous country in the world. This is Mumbai, India's most populous city. The Ujjwala Dehravi area in Mumbai is currently holding the throne with the densest population in the world. But this is not the place I want to talk about today. I want to talk about the most populous city in human history. OK, have you heard of New York City or the Big Apple, the most densely populated city in the US? According to the latest information, the population density in New York is 11,314 people per square kilometer. The Ujjwala Dehravi area in Mumbai has an area of 2.4 square kilometers and a population of 700,000 to 1 million people. Yes, I would like to reiterate that 700,000 to 1 million people live in 2.4 square kilometers. The population density is 277,136 people per square kilometer. As for the place we are talking about today, I would like to introduce 1,900,000 people per square kilometer. Again, 1,900,000 people per square kilometer. It is 168 times the size of New York City and 7 times the size of Dehravi. This place is only 2.8 hectares wide, but it can accommodate up to 50,000 people. Imagine if all the world's population lived in this area, then all humanity would occupy an area as wide as Rhode Island. But it is not as beautiful as Rhode Island. This place is popularly called the City of Darkness, the City of Ungovernment, or the City of Sins. And the place I am talking about is the Forbidden City in Hong Kong, China. But look at this, right at this corner, the buildings look quite old, and here there is even a park with a football field. I still know that Hong Kong is a crowded place, but why is this specific area so crowded? The answer is that the Forbidden City is not like the rest of Hong Kong. It has its own legal status. In 1843, the Chinese began to build a fort on the Kowloon Peninsula. It was called the Kowloon Fortress, a city surrounded by a wall nearly 214 meters long and 122 meters wide. In 1860, China's Great Wall erupted into a dispute with the British Empire. The result was that China lost the war. After that, a treaty was signed to give the entire Kowloon Peninsula to the British. In the next 30 years, the British government tried to negotiate to control the Kowloon Fortress. But the Chinese still insisted on not taking any steps, even when there was a new treaty in 1898 to give Hong Kong, Kowloon and other territories to the British for 99 years. However, the Kowloon Fortress still belongs to China's control. However, in May 1899, the British took over the Kowloon Fortress. The people around also came in and took over the land inside the walls. Because there was no government here, this place became a slum. Since then until before World War II, every time the Hong Kong government tried to dissolve this area, China intervened. In the end, this small piece of Japanese-shaped land was officially China's territory. But then the dispute erupted. The Japanese army occupied the Kowloon Peninsula, demolished the walls to build a new railway for the German airport nearby. After the end of World War II, the refugees flooded this space. They lived in super-crowded huts. No one wanted to step out of the border to become people on the left of the front line. Not protected by the Chinese government, more and more people came to live in this place. The Hong Kong government wanted to dissolve it. However, in the face of the people's resistance and pressure from China, they had to surrender. A new city was established on the ruins of the old fortress. Next is the fun time. According to you, which descriptions are correct with the Kowloon Fortress? Ah, a narrow, light-imperceptible area. Looking at the picture, you can see that this place includes a lot of tall towers and alleys, which are tightly arranged to the extent that the whole place is like a single structure. Electricity and cable systems cover all sides, running from the ground or along the sidewalks on the alleys. Countless dark cables run along the road, almost connecting the buildings together. When you enter the Kowloon Fortress, you will have to accept leaving the daylight behind. There are hundreds of alleys, most of which are less than one meter wide. Because it's too cramped, the Kowloon Fortress doesn't have a clear air, so that the residents can breathe normally. Many houses here don't even have a door, and the rubble is everywhere, or thrown on the roof. Speaking of the roof, do you remember that I mentioned the Khai Duc airport at the beginning of the video? A clever mind has realized that if the building is over a certain height, the plane will fly over and there will be fireworks. So all the buildings are only limited to 10 to 14 floors. The houses in the city are full of TV antennas, clothespins, water tanks and garbage. Residents of the Kowloon Fortress can go from one building to another by climbing a series of stairs between the two sides. This is the only place where the light can reach. It's like a common living area of the whole area, where people gather to play cards, watch TV or have religious meetings. Outside the yard, perhaps the only time these people don't have to live in thousands of super-small apartments. A 23-square-meter-large typical apartment makes the living space maximized with larger upper floors. The balcony is built with more pillars and the corners are built on the roof. Out of the house, they will walk on the paths cut below the buildings, while other tunnels are formed by the accumulation of garbage thrown out of the windows and put into the steel nets between the towers. The Kowloon Fortress quickly became a garbage city with a lot of garbage piled up into a mountain. On the surface of the earth, there is always warm water flowing. Oh, I forgot. Prepare a hat or a hat to avoid the endless streams from thousands of water pipes or metal bars and plastic flowing along the walls and the roof. What about the water? There are only 8 public elephants for tens of thousands of people. One elephant is in the Kowloon Fortress. The other 7 elephants are in the nearby area. In addition, there are only 2 machines in this entire area. OK, let's move on to the B answer. The Kowloon Fortress is a small autonomous society of black and dark social cliques outside the control of the Hong Kong government with enough components. There are hundreds of factories here, from stone to concrete. The production conditions are extremely poor and terrible, but they are still developing rapidly because the production and profit are very terrible. The goods produced in the Kowloon Fortress are exported all over Hong Kong, China and even to the whole world. When Hong Kong's wealthy residents are happily enjoying buns and fish balls served in restaurants, they will never know that the food they are eating is produced in the Kowloon Fortress. If you visit this place, don't miss out on 2 specialties. The first one is the doctors. Doctors don't have a license. They may be denied a license or be appointed as a doctor 2 days in advance. But it's cheap, so no one will sue you. The second specialty is that Hong Kong bans money. Vietnamese people may think it's normal. It's dog meat. But if you go deeper into it, it's the world of smoke-filled rooms where you can hear people talking non-stop. Everything is available here, from the gambling shops, the lottery club, the adult cinema and the cinema. There are girls eating bones everywhere, people lying on the floor in the dark. Even the mice in the city are the hands of God. They also suffer in the darkest corners of this city without sunlight. There is no law to talk about the Kowloon Fortress. This is an ungoverned society that adjusts and decides by itself. It is a land for a land, a city for a city, a small piece of land that was once disputed and abandoned. There is nothing surprising when the criminal activity is here again. The five parties of the Hoi Tam Hoang have come and dominated the Kowloon Fortress. The state outside the law of this place makes it a perfect place to produce and buy and sell the used materials. Finally, it becomes the center of all the activities to sell this product of Hong Kong. And the final choice, the Kowloon Fortress is a warm place It is surprising, isn't it? Here, the elderly and children are absolutely protected. Although they live in terrible conditions, the residents of the Kowloon Fortress always feel the warmth of people. The children can hang on the roof, do exercises, watch the sunset, and experience childhood on the roof. For those who have never been on a plane, sitting on the roof and watching the plane take off is a valuable experience. A resident of Kowloon said I don't think Kowloon is very bad. At least that place used to be the home of the Kowloon people. If there is no hope, no money, no shelter, then Kowloon will welcome them. Our story comes to an end. On January 14, 1987, 400 Hong Kong government officials built a fence around 83 streets and alleys of the Kowloon Fortress. Then they entered the city with the task of communicating and surveying each person. On March 23, 1993, the firecrackers hit an 8-story tower of the Kowloon Fortress. Over the next year, the area was transformed into a scenic park imitating the famous Giang Nam Garden in the 17th century built by Thanh. On December 22, 1995, the Kowloon Fortress Park was officially opened. It is a moving story about the Kowloon Fortress, a place that probably no one can imagine has ever existed in life, a place that is known to be a city in another world that is always busy with life.
