With the development of rural economy and the popularization of vehicles, the congestion of rural roads has become more and more obvious in recent years. In the past, there were fewer vehicles on rural roads and traffic was unimpeded, but with the increase in farmers' incomes and changes in lifestyles, more and more people began to buy private cars. Especially at the end of the year, migrant workers and migrant workers returning to their hometowns on a large scale are overwhelmed and often congested.
The congestion in recent years is not due to narrow roads, but to a sharp increase in the number of vehicles. Rural roads usually have only one lane, and traffic congestion is prone to occur if there is a lot of traffic. In addition, in rural areas, where most roads lack traffic lights and traffic police command, coupled with farmers with uneven driving skills, traffic safety has also become an important issue.
With the influence of traditional concepts, marriage has become an important task in the lives of rural people. In traditional rural societies, when men and women reach marriageable age, if there is no marriage partner, the elders of the family will start arranging blind dates. At the end of each year, rural families both look forward to the Spring Festival reunion and anxiously urge young people to get married. Such blind dates are common in rural areas and sometimes persist for years.
Of course, there are also successful examples of blind dates, and many rural couples met and came together through blind dates. However, there are also many people who have gone on blind dates again and again because of personality incompatibility or other reasons, but still haven't found a suitable partner. This is especially true for older single men and women, who may already be talking about marriage, but the boys are under more pressure and may go on more blind dates.
With the progress of the times and social changes, the rural social structure has also undergone tremendous changes. One of the consequences of this change is the increase in the number of family members in rural areas. Younger generations are increasingly seeking personal development and a free-spirited lifestyle, and they may choose to live in the city or seek opportunities away from home. This has resulted in relatively few opportunities to visit relatives and friends, especially during traditional festivals such as Chinese New Year.
As the older generation gradually passes away, the kinship ties of rural families gradually fade. In the past, when I was young, I would go to my grandparents' house every year for the New Year, and I stayed for a few days. Not only grandparents, but also their brothers and sisters, seven aunts and eight aunts, etc., there is almost no end to visiting relatives and friends. But now, walking relatives has become a formality. The first and second days of the new year stayed at home to rest, and the third and fourth days of the junior high school began to go out, and the task of visiting relatives and friends was completed before the Lantern Festival.
At the end of the year, a large number of young people in rural areas began to return to their hometowns, with a year's hard-earned money in their hands. They are eager to find some thrill and relaxation during the Chinese New Year when they return home. As a result, some young people gather to play cards and gamble, seeking excitement and entertainment. This widespread phenomenon in rural areas has sometimes led some young people to lose their hard-earned savings over the course of a year.
Gambling is a way for young people in rural areas to relieve stress, but it is also prone to family disputes and financial burdens. Especially in rural areas, many families have limited incomes**, and if young people are addicted to gambling, it can easily affect family life and stability. Therefore, in the education of villages, it is necessary to strengthen the publicity of the dangers of gambling and guide young people to establish correct values and entertainment concepts.
Comparison has become a common phenomenon in modern society, and rural areas are no exception. Therefore, the first thing many young people in rural areas do after earning money from working outside the home is to buy a car. Owning a car not only improves the quality of life, but also makes others envy and respect you. As a result, young people in rural areas will choose to buy cars in installments to appear that they have money and become the focal point of the village.
However, people who are really rich tend to be very low-key, and they don't go out of their way to flaunt their wealth. Instead, they pay more attention to their inner world and what they are pursuing. However, in rural areas, the more inconspicuous people are, the more they are envied and jealous, especially among young people. This phenomenon is widespread in rural areas, and many people have experienced it to a greater or lesser extent.
The Spring Festival is approaching, and these five special phenomena common in rural areas are the epitome of rural life. The congestion and traffic safety problems of rural roads, the pressure of blind dates and the phenomenon of disconnection, the entertainment methods of playing cards and gambling, and the psychology of comparison all show some problems and challenges in modern rural life.
In my opinion, behind these phenomena are social changes and shifts in values. With the development of the rural economy and the progress of society, the way of life of the peasants is also constantly changing, and they have begun to pursue personal development and freedom. However, these changes have also brought some challenges and problems to rural societies, which need to be considered and solved together.
Looking back on the year, we can see the changes and progress in rural life. I hope that in the years to come, rural society will be able to gradually solve these problems and create a better living environment and opportunities, so that every rural person can live a prosperous and happy life. Let us work together to contribute to rural development and the improvement of farmers' lives!
