A row of broken brick houses stands a brand new high -rise villa; on the potholes, there are luxury cars such as BMW, Marseille, and Maserati on the potholes.This split scene is not uncommon in Anxi, Fujian.

The small county town under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou was originally known for its birthplace of the "Tieguanyin" of the oolong tea, but in recent years, it is more well -known in another name: the hometown of fraud.There is also a smooth saying in the Chinese folk: "Ten Anxi and Nine Scams, and a exercise (learning)."

The reporter asked the owner's identity to a passing villager, and the other party asked vigilantly, "Who are you? What do you come here?"

Foreigners are easy to pay attention to in Nantou Village, because most of the elderly and left -behind children in the village are not seen.The owner of the grocery store in the village told reporters that the local economy is downturn, and most young people go out to make a living."Recently, there are Zhongyuan Festival worship, and someone comes back."

Although there are no shortage of luxury cars and luxury homes, the overall development of Changkeng Township is relatively lagging. There are still many broken houses on the streets, and the infrastructure such as roads and roads is still old.A person familiar with the local situation revealed that Changkeng was regarded as the birthplace of Chinese telecommunications fraud, but the locals mostly cheated or open online casinos in other places.

The aforementioned people who know the matter pointed out that most of the early Anxi rich rely on tea business to make a family, but with the decline in Tieguanyin's sales in recent years, more and more people have turned to telecommunications fraud and online gambling., Recruit more relatives.

In 2016, the then Secretary of the Anxi County Party Committee Gao Xiangrong revealed in an interview with the Chinese media that telecommunications fraud was the earliest rise in Taiwan. Some Taiwanese then took relatives in Anxi to join the group.He estimated that more than 1 million among Anxi had more than 3,000 people who actually engaged in telecommunications fraud.

The 22 -year -old Xiao Wang told reporters that she planned to help the tea business at home after graduating from college."But many people will worry about dealing with us as soon as I hear me from coming from. It is a few people who make money by fraud, but most of the people who bear the cost."
