"When it comes to inflation, the first thing I think of is Zambia. When Zimbabweans joke about Zambia's inflation, they say this: "Why is Zambia's money worthless? Because the name is not good!"

"The currency of Zambia is called kwacha, and it sounds very much like the onomatopoeia "Chu" in Chinese, like the sound of something falling to the ground."

"So Zimbabweans joke about inflation in Zambia because the currency name is not good, and the money is not worth it. If you take a lot of it, you will fall to the ground."

"Thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west, and after 2000, Zimbabwe also began to experience inflation, so the Zambians sent back a joke to Zimbabwe."

"A Zimbabwean went to a supermarket to buy things and put a large bag of money into the trolley. When he was about to enter the supermarket, a robber rushed over to rob him. Unexpectedly, the robber threw out the money from the trolley and snatched the trolley cart."

In Mr. Jin's family, the first one to go to Zimbabwe was his aunt's brother. In the 1990s, he came to this distant country because of his company. He found that there were many opportunities to do business in the local area, so he brought Jin's uncle. Later, Jin's mother also came to Zimbabwe in 1996. Their family mainly deals in second-hand cars and Chinese restaurants.

Historically, Zimbabwe has a rich land of resources and abundant resources. It has developed well in agriculture and mining, and is known as the bread warehouse in southern Africa. During the colonial period, the economic development level of the capital Harare was even far greater than that of China at that time.

Until Jin's father came here in the 1990s, the business environment in Zimbabwe was pretty good, and it could even be said to be a pure land of business without competition. As long as you look at a certain industry and work hard for a few years, you can get a considerable amount of wealth accumulation.

"I arrived in Zimbabwe for the first time. At that time, I was 13. Before leaving, my classmates in China asked me, "Why are you going to Africa? Africa is so poor, the land is so hard that it is cracked, and the locals are wearing animal clothes and skins, holding bows and arrows to hunt..."

"To be honest, I don't know what I'm going there, just because my mom is there, I'm going to find her."

"I remember very clearly that I took the three-day train from my hometown Liaoning to Hong Kong Island. There is a small screen in front of each seat of Cathay Pacific plane, which allows me to play games. It is very novel to me."

"I switched to South Africa Airlines and the small screen on the plane disappeared, but the crew gave me a pair of headphones to listen to music, which was not bad; but after arriving in Johannesburg, South Africa, I transferred to Zimbabwe Airlines, and after getting on the plane, I had nothing, no TV, and no headphones."

"You imagine it was great all the way, and then when you left Zimbabwe airport, it was like a factory. The airport was very small and the facilities were very old, and I felt cold suddenly."

"But when I walked out of the airport gate, I felt it changed again. Zimbabwe's national altitude average is about 1,500 meters, and the capital Harare is actually a small plateau."

"I can see that the sky outside is very blue and the clouds in the sky are floating very low. And I, a native of Northeast China, came from a place where the sky is high and the clouds are high to a place where you can catch clouds like marshmallows with your hand. The green grass is all over the ground, the air is fresh, and it feels quite fresh."

"Driving out of the airport and passing through the city, I saw some high-rise buildings and thought it was pretty good. After leaving the city, the further the house drove, the better and better the house looked, because the farther the house was, the richer the house, and I began to fantasize about what our house looked like."

"When I got home and opened the door, I found that the yard inside was very large, maybe 4,000 square meters. There was also a large lawn in the yard and a swimming pool behind the house. This 4,000 square meters yard is actually a small yard in Zimbabwe, but for me who just came from China, it was simply a paradise."

"The house is very inconspicuous from the outside because it is an old house left by the British in the past. It looks very old, but as soon as you enter it, you will find that the living room is so big and the kitchen is so big."
