Rural Five Guarantees Households Become the Final Winners? Life is better than that of ordinary villagers, enjoying every day?
First of all, I would like to tell a small story about a left-behind child in a rural village who won in the end, and through this short episode, we can get to know these elderly people more deeply.
The situation of orphans and widows in rural areas of our country.
Empty nest is a special rural population in China, due to age, illness or disability and other factors, most of them cannot take care of themselves and are in urgent need of help. However, the living conditions of some lonely elderly people are staggering. Not only did they dress, dress, dress, but their standard of living surpassed that of the average farmer. What exactly makes them "winners"?
Through a series of measures, the lives of "left-behind children" have been greatly improved. They also receive a monthly stipend, as well as some perks such as medical assistance and house security. Through the above measures, the daily life of the "left-behind elderly" is effectively guaranteed. At the same time, the whole society has also expressed its concern and support for migrant workers, such as sending condolences on major holidays. This can not only meet the living needs of the left-behind elderly, but also make them feel the warmth and care from the society.
In addition, because "lonely widows" do not have to worry about survival, do not need to worry about their children, do not need to take on too much housework, can plan their own lives independently, and enjoy their leisure time to the fullest. Some "left-behind elderly" do not have to worry about food, water, clothing and other issues, and can fully enjoy life.
Why have today's widows and orphans become so lazy?
Although many of the "five guarantees" can enjoy their old age, not all of them are like this. In fact, only a small percentage of retirees enjoy leisure time, and they spend most of their time playing cards, drinking, hanging out and other entertainment pastimes. This has to make people doubt life.
As for why this is the case, I guess there are some reasons:
First of all, the excessive pursuit of material comfort and comfort makes them develop the habit of laziness. Instead of working as hard as they did in the past, they spent their lives in mediocrity.
Second, because left-behind children have been denied employment opportunities and challenges for a long time, their enthusiasm and enthusiasm for work are becoming less and less. When their material conditions are already met, they tend to choose leisure rather than working hard.
In addition, some "orphaned and disabled" elderly people are no longer suitable for heavy physical labor due to physical reasons, and they have no conditions to engage in other work, so they have to adopt a non-labor mode of survival.
However, we should not ignore the actual situation of the majority of the "five guarantees" because of the laziness of a few "five-guarantee households." In fact, most of the lonely elderly are still running for life. They are struggling to survive in the face of economic hardship, loneliness, helplessness, no help from their families, and no care from society.
Comparison of survival between ordinary farmers and widowed farmers.
Compared with left-behind children, the average rural resident does not have an easy time. Many farmers have to leave home for long periods of time and work hard to make ends meet. Not only do they have to do farm work, but they also have to take care of the old and young women and children in their families. Due to the lack of labor, many rural households are burdened with a huge financial burden, and the pressure on their lives is also increasing.
On the contrary, some "left-behind elderly" live a good life. They don't have to do heavy work, they don't have to worry about food, they can spend their time to the fullest, and they can enjoy the beauty of life to the fullest. But this is only a small number of "lonely widows" who have a good life, and many more "lonely widows" are still facing the difficulties and uncertainties of survival.
Rethink and suggest.
Regarding the issue of the lonely old man becoming a "winner", I think we should maintain a more fair attitude. Of course, there are also some "orphaned and disabled" families whose conditions are relatively better, but after all, they are a very small part. Left-behind children in rural areas are still a vulnerable group and urgently need the care and support of the whole society.
We can't discriminate against all the five guarantee households just for the sake of a few idle five guarantee households. In real life, the plight of left-behind children is very prominent, and they cannot do without our support and understanding. The assessment of the living conditions of the recipients of the subsistence allowance should be based on their specific conditions.
In addition, it is also necessary to strengthen assistance and support for "lonely and widowed" families in order to improve their living standards. We can provide practical assistance to left-behind children by formulating relevant poverty alleviation policies and providing jobs, so that they can better adapt to the community and restore their confidence.
All in all, we should take an objective and cautious approach to the topic of whether the lonely elderly will become "winners". We should pay more attention to the recipients of the subsistence allowance, truly know their living conditions, and not ignore their sufferings and sufferings. This is the only way to provide tangible assistance to vulnerable groups and to make them a more just and harmonious society.
