Looking back on China's rural areas in the decade, with the pace of reform and opening up, the country's development has entered a new stage. However, while the economy is developing rapidly, the development of rural areas is relatively slow, and many people are still in the predicament of not having enough to eat.
Next, I will focus on the causes and manifestations of rural hunger in the decade, and its impact on rural people.
1. Causes of hunger
1.Food production is insufficient
* In the countryside of the 10s, farmers mainly made a living by growing food. However, for a long time, the limited technology and equipment conditions in rural areas, coupled with the shortage of agricultural production materials such as seeds and fertilizers, have led to the inability of grain production to meet the needs of farmers. In particular, when natural disasters occur frequently, such as droughts and floods, grain production is even more seriously affected, and the rural people are faced with the problem of not having enough to eat.
2.Infrastructure is lagging behind
The lag in infrastructure in rural areas is also one of the important reasons why farmers do not have enough to eat. **In the 10s, the construction of roads, hydropower and other infrastructure in rural areas was relatively lagging behind, and the transportation was underdeveloped, which brought many inconveniences to the transportation and sales of agricultural products. As a result, it is often difficult for farmers to transport grain and other agricultural products to the city in a timely manner, and they are unable to obtain reasonable sales**, which in turn leads to a decline in the quality of life.
3.Overpopulation
* In the countryside of the decade, overpopulation was also one of the important factors that led to the hunger of farmers. Due to the relatively low level of agricultural production in rural areas, it is not possible to provide sufficient employment opportunities, resulting in a large number of farmers moving to cities in search of work. However, employment opportunities in the cities are limited, and many farmers can only work at low wages, living a heavy burden and not being able to guarantee adequate food**.
2. Manifestations of rural hunger
* In the countryside of the decade, the problem of hunger was reflected in all aspects of life.
1.Malnutrition
People in rural areas often face malnutrition due to insufficient food. Lack of protein, vitamins and other nutrients leads to low body resistance and susceptibility to diseases. Children and the elderly, in particular, are more susceptible to the effects of hunger and pose a great threat to their physical development and health.
2.Low level of education
Rural hunger has also led to a relatively low level of education in rural areas. Because poor families are unable to provide enough food and clothing, many rural children have to drop out of school or choose to give up their studies to work in other places to earn money. This has led to a general decline in the level of education in rural areas, a waste of resources and knowledge poverty in rural areas.
3.Social instability
The existence of hunger in rural areas has also led to social instability. Unable to meet their basic needs, some peasants have to resort to illegal means to make a living, causing problems for public order. In addition, hunger can provoke discontent among peasants, trigger various social contradictions and conflicts, and have a negative impact on social harmony and stability.
Impact of hunger on rural people
The impact of rural hunger on farmers is far-reaching and severe.
1.Impaired physical health
Malnutrition caused by not having enough to eat can have a direct impact on people's health. Without adequate nutrition, people are susceptible to diseases and have reduced immunity. In the long run, people's physical health will be greatly damaged, and even some serious health problems will appear.
2.Economic development is restricted
The existence of hunger in rural areas will also constrain rural economic development. Farmers do not have enough to eat, and their energy and physical strength cannot be fully recovered and improved, making it impossible for them to participate effectively in agricultural production and other economic activities. This not only limits the development potential of the rural economy, but also hinders the prosperity of the entire national economy.
3.The progress of social civilization has been frustrated
Hunger makes it difficult for rural people to pursue a higher quality of life and enjoy the fruits of modern civilization. Problems such as low level of education, poor cultural atmosphere, and limited social communication will all make the spiritual world of rural people constrained, and they cannot fully realize their personal value and potential.
Conclusion
Looking back at the rural areas of the 10th century, not having enough to eat was a common dilemma faced by farmers. Factors such as insufficient food production, lagging infrastructure, and overpopulation have led to the existence of hunger in rural areas.
Rural hunger is manifested in malnutrition, low level of education, and social instability, which has a serious impact on the physical health, economic development, and social civilization progress of the rural people.
Although many changes have taken place in the rural areas now, we must not forget the past, and we should not forget our original aspirations, continue to strive to improve the living conditions of rural people, and achieve the goal of a moderately prosperous society in all respects.
