preface
Ben had a good hand, but he was played poorly.
It is obviously the birthplace of Mayan culture, but it has won the title of "the first of the four rotten countries".
This country is "Honduras", a country that can be called hell, full of danger.
The murder rate is the highest in the world, women can buy and sell at will, and what is even more unbelievable is that the president takes the lead in drug trafficking, and the entire country's GDP is at the bottom all year round.
What is the story behind this country? Why did an ancient civilization fall here?
First, survival is not easy, and social turmoil
Can you believe that in Honduras, your life is threatened all the time, and the chaos in this country is far greater than you can imagine.
Honduras, a country located in the north of Central America, covers an area of 112,500 square kilometers, but has a population of only 10.221 million, such a proportion of the population, it can be said that Honduras is completely enough for people to live, the land is vast and sparsely populated.
Under such conditions, it stands to reason that people's lives should be rich and stable, but Honduras is not the same as imagined.
Honduras is a country with one of the highest crime and murder rates in the world.
According to the data, in Honduras, the murder rate is as high as 90.4 per 100,000 people, and this is only in other regions, let alone the capital of Honduras, the data is ridiculously high, and the murder rate per 100,000 people has exceeded imagination, soaring to 173.
Just by looking at the data, you can imagine that this country is not peaceful and life is not easy.
So, what is the cause of such a chaotic society? Didn't the government step in to govern?
In fact, the government has carried out regulation, but it has to be said that regulation and non-regulation are no different.
Honduras is a country that does not prohibit the carrying of firearms, and Honduras' policy includes "allowing citizens and foreign residents to own and possess firearms", which is also the reason for the high mortality rate in Honduras.
Although, in May 2019, the Honduras government introduced a new legal policy that made further regulations and adjustments to the carrying of firearms, allowing citizens over the age of 21 who are not addicted to drugs or alcohol to mind owning up to 3 firearms.
But for Honduras, which has been in social chaos for a long time, the policy has not had much impact.

Here, people still live in fear every day, for fear that one day they will suddenly lose their lives.
If you think that it is only the high mortality rate and the high murder rate that lead to social chaos in this country, then you are underestimating Honduras, after all, the title of "the first of the four rotten countries" is not called for nothing.
Second, the country's fortunes are bumpy, and the country is in chaos
For most countries, the growth of GDP will be driven by the development of tourism, commerce and other industries, but you would never think that the GDP of Honduras is actually "drugs".
Without the presence of drugs, the country of Honduras may not be able to function normally, which is really jaw-dropping.
How is the birthplace of civilization related to drugs?
This has to mention another country, that is, the well-known world power - United States, unexpectedly, there is still a grudge entanglement between the "world power" and the "rotten country of the world".
When it comes to the beginning of their entanglement, we have to start with a fruit, which is a banana.
Around the 70s of the 19th century, United States fell in love with bananas as a fruit, but because they could not grow it in their own country and wanted to eat it until they could, they could only find other more suitable places to breed.
No, the "wealth of the sky" came to Honduras, and the United States also noticed the country of Honduras, and at the same time, there was an unexpected discovery that Honduras, which is rich in land and resources, is very suitable for growing bananas, and launched the so-called "banana invasion" against it.
Although the United States people are so that they can enjoy the bananas, for the Honduras, the large amount of capital invested by the United States has also successfully stimulated the development of their own country, which is a double win, and the president of the Honduras is also happy to see it and actively cooperate with United States.
However, with the development of time, the greedy nature of the United States capitalists was gradually exposed, and they began to oppress the Honduras people, and the Honduras people once became the "day workers" of the United States.
When the people of Honduras realized the seriousness of the problem and wanted to escape, it was too late, and the United States forces had already occupied the Honduras, and people could only suppress this resentment in their bodies and continue to work for the United States for more than 50 years, until an accident came.
It was a natural disaster, although it is said that the "natural disaster" is terrible, but a natural disaster saved Honduras in some way.
In 1970, the arrival of a hurricane United States a surprise, Honduras the destruction of the orchard planted, United States unwilling to bear such a big loss, evacuated Honduras, and Honduras was out of United States control.
Now that the United States has withdrawn control of Honduras, why should the cause of the "drug" epidemic in Honduras be linked to the United States?
We all know that drugs are circulating in South America, especially in Colombia and United States, but how many people know that a large amount of drugs go through Honduras?
Honduras is bordered by United States to the north and Colombia to the south, resulting in their trade, all passing through Honduras, subtly affecting the people of Honduras.
Due to the awkward geographical location of Honduras, many people here discovered the huge profits of drugs and embarked on the road of drug trafficking.
Although this cannot be blamed on the head of the United States, it is still more or less involved, and even many Honduras people bring drugs to the United States to sell.
What is even more unbelievable is that in March 2021 Honduras, former President Juan · Orlando · Hernandez were arrested and imprisoned for "drug trafficking", and the president of a country uses drugs to make money, let alone ordinary people, and there are countless cases.
Such Honduras has long been unable to see the birthplace of an ancient civilization, and has become hateful and chaotic.
But what really makes Honduras "hell" is the torture of women there.
Third, backward customs and miserable
For women, if you are born in Honduras, it is a lifetime of misfortune.
In Honduras, women do not have the right to resist, and it is conceivable that it is not easy for women to live in Honduras.
Moreover, there is an unreasonable custom that has been prevalent in Honduras, where women have no human rights and are treated inhumanely, that is, "wife exchange bazaar".
In Honduras, a "wife swap" activity is carried out every three months, and the existence of customs has led to Honduras women being exchanged several times in their lives, and there is no way to resist.
It is really surprising that such a bad habit appears in today's era.
Not only that, but in Honduras, sex trafficking is also legal, and more evil is spreading uncheckedly in the country.
For women in Honduras, the best and only way to stay alive is to leave Honduras.
It may also be that such bad habits exist, coupled with the rampant sex trade, resulting in many "AIDS" patients in Honduras, but because there is no way to treat it, they can only watch the condition deteriorate and finally leave.
Honduras' backward customs, irrational institutions, and drug trade are all reasons for the country's backwardness.
epilogue
But fortunately, now, Honduras has its own ideas that it wants to change, strive to develop itself, and under the leadership of the current President Kasrot, establish diplomatic relations with China in 2023, hoping that China will lead itself to development.
In the past, the development of Honduras may not be satisfactory, but I believe that after the establishment of diplomatic relations with China, Honduras will usher in its own development, better economic development, and improve people's lives.
