Analysis and reflection on the current practical problems in rural areas
Severe emptiness. The changes in the rural areas of southern Hunan can be described as contradictory: on the one hand, the rural areas are developing rapidly, high-rise buildings are lined up, infrastructure is gradually improving, and every household has modern electrical equipment, giving people a sense of prosperity. On the other hand, there has been a serious hollowing out of the countryside. Most of the houses in the countryside are low and dilapidated, and in some places there are even piles of garbage and overgrown weeds, and the smell of corruption pervades the countryside.
In stark contrast to the main street. Even more worrying is the fact that the countryside is dead and sparsely populated. Almost all young and middle-aged people went to the county seat to work or live, and only the elderly and children stayed at home. Only the old, weak, sick and disabled are active in the whole village, creating a hollow village for the younger generation. No one is invited to red and white ceremonies, and the atmosphere of mutual help is gradually disappearing. As you can imagine, people are worried about the future of the countryside.
However, fortunately, with the reform and opening up of rural areas, many villages have set up red and white ceremonial service teams to provide services to village residents through subcontracting. As long as the host family is willing to pay, they are responsible for the preparation of the wedding ceremony. This is undoubtedly a comprehensive mobilization of rural human resources and a positive aspect of rural development.
It has also become a common phenomenon for young and middle-aged people in rural areas to go out to work. Whether in Guangdong or elsewhere, a large number of farmers in southern Hunan have gone out to work. They work in higher-paying jobs to improve their standard of living and provide additional income for their families. It is also becoming more and more common for couples and even families to go out to work together. Husbands and wives, or even entire families, may only return home once a year, while the elderly and children remain in the village to live a relatively peaceful life.
Worryingly, the emptiness of rural areas also means that it can be difficult to get help in the event of a fire or other emergency. The silence of the village at night is worrying. The only way to effectively deal with potential risks is to strengthen rural infrastructure and improve people's safety awareness and self-rescue capabilities.
The development of the rural economy is uneven.
Although certain achievements have been made in the development of rural economy in southern Hunan, there are also obvious imbalances. Due to the particularity of geographical location or other conditions, some wealthy villages have experienced rapid economic development and greatly improved the living standards of the masses. For example, some villages close to the county seat, due to the convenient transportation, have attracted some investment and human resources, so that the economic strength of these villages has gradually increased. However, in some relatively remote villages, due to inconvenient transportation and lack of resources, economic development is lagging behind, and the people's living standards have not been effectively improved.
In addition, the single industrial structure is also one of the reasons for the uneven economic development in rural areas of southern Shonan. Rural areas are largely dependent on agricultural industries, especially traditional cropping and animal husbandry. With the acceleration of industrialization, the agricultural industry can no longer meet the needs of farmers. The lack of diversified economic industries has also led to the instability of the rural economy, exposing the problem of unsustainable growth of farmers' income levels.
To solve this problem, it is necessary to increase investment in rural areas and guide farmers to seek development opportunities in areas other than agriculture. For example, cultivate rural tourism, rural specialty product processing industry, etc., to provide more employment opportunities and income for farmers**. At the same time, we should also strengthen infrastructure construction, improve the level of public services such as transportation, education, and medical care in rural areas, and improve the quality of life of farmers.
There is a lack of educational and health resources in rural areas.
Compared with urban areas, rural areas have relatively scarce educational and medical resources. First of all, the number of rural schools is limited, the teaching staff is relatively weak, and it is difficult to ensure the quality of education and teaching. Many rural children can only go to school in county towns or remote areas, and the lack of transportation makes it difficult for them to go to school. Second, medical resources are also insufficient, medical facilities are poor, the number of doctors is small, and the diagnosis and treatment capacity is limited. In the event of illness or accidents, farmers often have to travel to the county seat or further afield for medical treatment, which is time-consuming and costly.
In the face of this situation, it is necessary to increase investment in education and health care in rural areas. In the area of education, it is necessary to intensify support for rural schools, improve the remuneration of teachers, improve the conditions for running schools, and ensure that rural students can receive a good education. In the area of medical care, it is necessary to increase the supply of medical resources in rural areas, attract more doctors to work in rural areas, and improve the level of medical services in rural areas. At the same time, new medical models such as telemedicine can be developed to allow farmers to enjoy more convenient medical services.
Rural cultural heritage is in dire straits.
With the continuous development of modern society, the inheritance of traditional culture in rural areas is facing major challenges. On the one hand, due to the loss of rural population and the process of urbanization, many traditional rural cultures have gradually faded or even disappeared. The younger generation is not interested in traditional culture, and pays more attention to urban trends and entertainment. On the other hand, the backwardness of rural education also makes it difficult for traditional culture to be passed on through education. The lack of cultivation of traditional culture in schools and families has led to many rural children having little understanding of their traditional culture.
In order to solve the dilemma of inheriting traditional culture in rural areas, it is first necessary to strengthen cultural education in rural areas. Schools should incorporate traditional culture into their curriculum and offer relevant cultural courses. At the same time, families should also pay attention to the inheritance and education of traditional culture, so that children can be exposed to traditional culture from an early age and learn Xi traditional culture. In addition, cultural activities such as traditional festivals and the formation of local theater troupes should be encouraged and supported in rural areas, so that farmers have the opportunity to participate in the inheritance of traditional culture.
Summary. From the above analysis, it can be seen that the rural areas of southern Hunan are currently facing serious problems such as hollowing, unbalanced economic development, lack of education and medical resources, and the dilemma of inheriting traditional rural culture. The existence of these problems not only has a certain impact on the quality of life of farmers, but also limits the development potential of rural areas. Therefore, it is necessary to increase support for rural areas, and promote the comprehensive development of rural areas by strengthening infrastructure construction, developing diversified economic industries, and increasing the supply of education and medical resources. At the same time, farmers themselves should enhance their awareness of rural development, take the initiative to adapt to social changes, constantly update their skills and qualities, and contribute to rural development.
