Burkina Faso might sound like an obscure little country in Africa, but mention its other name, and many people might have an impression—it's known as "The Country of Honorable Gentlemen."
The name of the country comes from its native language, meaning "The Country of Honorable Gentlemen."
Positively speaking, despite the extremely unstable security in Africa, the people of Burkina Faso lead a self-sufficient, leisurely life.
But from what Bi Fang saw along the way, poverty and hardship are the true epitomes.
It is one of the poorest countries in the world, with nearly 80% of the labor force engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, yet due to its location on the edge of the desert, with flatland that holds no moisture, the arable land is scarce and dry.
Having no money leads to farming, but farming yields no significant results—it's a vicious cycle of sorts.
