However, when we actually entered the village and stood under the statue of the former richest man, Luo Tianhe was completely dumbfounded.
Beneath the base of the five-meter-high giant statue, piles of garbage filled the air, and a pungent, putrid stench made people want to vomit.
Swarms of flies buzzed and hovered above the garbage heap.
The surface of the statue is also pitted and uneven, and its nose has been knocked off.
When the designer designed the statue of Zeng, the richest man in China, he deliberately raised his right hand and pointed forward, symbolizing that he led this land to prosperity.
However, at this moment, several bags of garbage were casually hanging from that once powerful hand.

Even children can be "defiled" at will.
Luo Tianhe looked around and pointed to a small shop not far ahead, saying he was going to buy a pack of cigarettes and also ask around for some information.

Luo Tianhe walked over and said something to those people. Then there was a loud crash, and someone overturned the card table.
A burly middle-aged man, his face contorted with rage, pointed a brick at Luo Tianhe, who was fleeing in disarray, and began to hurl insults.
