"The strength of a country is not determined by how luxurious and wealthy the city is, but how peaceful and happy the countryside is. ”Rural areas need as much social attention and support as cities. In recent years, the 'single aristocracy' has become a common phenomenon in modern society, not only in the cities, but also in the rural areas. But now, with the development of the rural economy, five "strange phenomena" have appeared in rural areas, which have attracted widespread attention and discussion.
The cost of getting married is getting higherNowadays, in a considerable number of rural areas, marriage not only means the grave of love, but also contains a huge burden. The increasing cost of marriage in rural areas has not only exacerbated the already strained family economy, but also made young people face greater pressure and difficulties. In recent years, the average cost of marriage in rural areas has been on the rise, even surpassing that in urban areas. In a rural area, for example, the average cost of marriage has exceeded 300,000 yuan. Among them, the bride price fee accounts for a considerable proportion and is still rising. In addition to the bride price, other expenses such as housing, weddings, and banquets are also expenses that cannot be ignored. An ordinary rural family has a lot of financial resources to prepare for their children's weddings, and even needs to go bankrupt. The man proves his economic strength by buying a house, bride price, etc., while the woman is facing the fate of being objectified and quantified. The most important thing is that now the rural woman's family is openly showing off the bride price, feeling that the bride price is high and has face, and the result over time is that everyone is comparing with each other, and no one is willing to let their daughters want less bride price!
I don't want to have children when I get marriedIn the past, childbearing was seen as an important responsibility and obligation. However, with the development of society and the change of attitudes, more and more young people in rural areas choose not to be in a hurry to have children. There are several main reasons why young people are reluctant to have children. 1: Financial burden!The cost of childbirth is gradually increasing, and raising a child requires a huge expense, involving various aspects of education, medical care, and upbringing. Under financial pressure, it is difficult for young couples to bear such a burden. 2: Career Development!Young people in rural areas are generally faced with the problem of left-behind children in rural areas, and they want to change their living circumstances through urban work opportunities. Childbearing can create certain restrictions on their career development and make them hesitate. 3: Lifestyle changes!Young people seek personal space, freedom and independence, and they want to enjoy their lives and pursue their interests and hobbies, rather than being tied up in family responsibilities early in life. The divorce rate among young people continues to riseIn the past, if a couple divorced in a township, it could spread all over the township, but now, there are more and more divorced people in rural areas, and everyone is slowly Xi to it!
Young people in rural areas are becoming more aware of the need to respect individual choices and pursue freedom, and they have more opportunities to interact with the outside world and learn about different lifestyles and concepts of marriage.
Thick burials and thin cultivation are prevalentIn rural areas, in order to give their deceased loved ones a "decent" way to die, many people have chosen to invest all their family assets and even liabilities in the construction of cemeteries. In order to build a luxurious mausoleum, they even did not hesitate to change the family's lifestyle and spend the family's savings. Correspondingly, they have never cared much about the pension of the elderly. Behind the phenomenon of thick burials and poor maintenance in rural areas, a change in values is highlighted. In traditional Xi, honoring one's parents is the core and using limited resources to support one's relatives. Now, however, these values seem to have been transformed into a symbol of flaunting wealth. People only care about what others think of themselves and what they say, and they don't care about whether the elderly are doing well or not!
The vacancy rate of houses and cars is getting higher and higherIn today's rural areas, houses are built higher and higher, more and more, and more and more luxurious. However, only two parents live in each household, and most people do not live in their rural homes at all, but even then they have to spend a lot of money to repair their old homes.
In addition, the number of cars in rural areas is increasing, and every household must have a car. But it is often put for several months, and it can't be opened a few times a year, and the maintenance and insurance money is in vain. In the face of these "strange phenomena" in rural development, we should not simply criticize and blame, but also pay attention to the reasons behind them and find solutions. As one famous person put it:"The countryside is the backbone of our great motherland, and the peasants are the backbone of our nation. ”Only by intensifying efforts to resolve the problems and predicaments encountered in rural development can we achieve all-round development in the rural areas and a happy life for the peasants. Let us pay attention to rural development and contribute to rural construction!
