People born in the 40s, 50s, and 60s who have moved from the countryside to the city are now over 60 years old and have retired.
Most of these old people have feelings of liking the countryside, and always want to return to the place where they were born and raised, to the place where their parents used to live, to the house left by their parents, to return to their hometown and rural areas to live an idyllic life, and to realize the traditional wish of "returning to their roots".
The idea of retired elderly returning to the countryside for the elderly is very good, and it is also in line with traditional cultural Xi, but in real life it is very skinny, and the countryside is not as ideal as they imagined, and must face the test of 4 factors.
When you want to go back to the countryside, you must consider these four factors clearly, and make full mental preparations in order to adapt to rural life, otherwise it will only attract complaints and remorseLet's take a look.
Rural infrastructure is inadequate. The city's road traffic extends in all directions, all kinds of transportation are readily available, the elderly are convenient to travel, and take the bus and subway, and the retired elderly are free.
In the rural areas, under normal circumstances, only a few rural areas have ordinary and narrow hardened roads into the village, most places have not built hardened roads, the vast majority of rural areas are not connected to buses, except for their own cars or motorcycles, travel is very inconvenient, very difficult.
In ordinary rural areas, there are no banks, no postal services, no express logistics into the village, no hospitals, only a simple village toilet, although there are staff on duty, the vast majority of them are not doctors, they cannot see a doctor and treat diseases, and even the cold medicine often sent by mistake, let alone do basic medical services for the villagers.
Shopping in rural areas is not as convenient as in cities, and ordinary goods generally need to be purchased in towns or cities, and only some simple daily necessities can be purchased in rural villages.
The cost of living in rural areas is high. Rural people have their own contracted land, can grow cereals, have their own vegetable gardens, can grow their own vegetables and fruits for consumption, have their own livestock pens, can raise pigs and chickens, and eat meat and eggs without having to buy them.
If a father or mother is alive and the relationship between brothers and sisters is harmonious, they can also have land to grow vegetables or grain, otherwise they can only buy grain, vegetables and fruits and other daily necessities from the surrounding villagers or the town.
The retired elderly who have returned to their hometowns live in houses that are either inherited by their parents, borrowed from their brothers, or rented from other people, all of which are old houses or dilapidated houses, and the residents have to be repaired and reinforced, which requires a lot of expenses.
In this way, the cost of daily life in the countryside is not less than that of living in the city, and the cost of living is generally much higher than that of the out-of-the-ordinary rural people.
Rural areas have high requirements for the elderly. Urban retirees are not as adaptable to rural life as rural elders, and the requirements for the elderly who adapt to rural life are very high.
The old people who live in the city basically don't see the mud road, they can't see the bumpy and rugged roads that are uneven, and there are flat and wide cement roads and asphalt roads everywhere, and when they come to the countryside, on the contrary, there are dirt roads everywhere, and they are uneven, very bumpy and even very rugged, and the cement roads can only be seen on the road into the village.
Urban people living in the countryside, first of all, should properly walk the dirt roads in the countryside, and have a healthy and strong physical fitness, otherwise it is difficult to adapt to the rural living environment, therefore, the retired elderly living in the countryside need to have a healthy body. , urban-rural cultural differences and conflicts. The urban environment is good, the high-rise buildings are scattered, very neat, the roads are wide, the streets are clean and beautiful, the shops are dense, the green belt can be seen everywhere, and green trees and flowers can be seen everywhere.
City supermarkets, shops, banks, hospitals, hotels, express delivery, logistics, can be seen everywhere, it is very convenient to do things, and all kinds of signboards, civilized slogans can be seen everywhere, everywhere is clean and tidy, highlighting the city's strong and unique cultural atmosphere.
People who are accustomed to urban life come to live in the countryside for a while, and the environment and cultural atmosphere of the city in the past are completely different, and there is a very huge contrast.
At the same time, people in the city live in a community or a building, and even the neighbors on the same floor do not know each other, do not interact with each other, do not trust each other, and as soon as they enter the house, it is an independent and isolated kingdom, and the people around them are all old and dead.
And the countryside is very different, people in a village, are very familiar with each other, very friendly, interact with each other, often visit each other, contact feelings, all people in the village are like a family, care for each other, help each other, one side is in trouble, all sides support, is a big family that gets along in harmony, the rural cultural atmosphere is absolutely different from the city.
Therefore, the retired elderly who return to live in the countryside must first be mentally prepared, because the urban culture is very different from the rural areas, and there is a world of difference.
