What's more troubling than the Tsuma Desert? Three major problems faced by rural areas
The aging of the population is intensifying, and there are no young people in the countryside.
Young people in the countryside are leaving their homes and going to the big cities to find work. While they pursued their ideals, the rural population was ageing. When young people leave, the countryside is left with old people and children, and this is a very different place. They have to leave their hometowns to provide for their families and only return home for the New Year on some important holidays, such as the Chinese New Year. Such a scene is sad and saddens the elderly. Neighbors get together less and less, work in the fields less and less, and the whole village is busy alone.
This phenomenon of going out to work makes the elderly feel infinitely concerned and nostalgic. They are very concerned about the survival of their children, whether they will be harmed, whether they will return safely. Especially during the holidays, the feeling of homesickness is even stronger. They are looking forward to receiving calls from their children to report their safety. However, this problem is not an isolated case, and it has become widespread in the vast rural areas of our country. The mutual concern between the elderly and the left-behind children is heartbreaking.
In addition, the elderly are happy to stay and continue to engage in agricultural production. Although they have a good knowledge of agriculture, when they get old, their physical fitness begins to decline. Rural construction is inseparable from young people, but many young people do not want to return to their hometowns to farm, especially in agriculture, which seems to be tiring and scarce. As a result, the aging of our population is becoming more and more severe, and the survival of young people has become almost a luxury.
The demise of agricultural civilization.
Agriculture is a major feature of rural China, and those farmers who work hard in the fields must continue to cultivate regardless of wind or rain. They believe that only hard work will lead to good results. They always have a positive attitude towards things like the wetness and dryness of the soil.
However, in China, due to the popularization of agricultural machinery, many farmers began to use modern machinery and equipment to replace the original farming and harvesting methods. New technologies have replaced previous manual work and greatly increased agricultural productivity. But at the same time, agricultural civilization is gradually losing its inherited roots.
In rural areas, many children do not learn well due to the lack of quality educational resources. In remote areas, children must walk to school. The classes here are simple, and there are not even teaching equipment such as a library. Due to family financial constraints, many children cannot afford to pay for their studies, and some have to drop out of school. The lack of educational resources in rural areas greatly hinders children's development.
This has led to the inability of agricultural civilization to be inherited and the will of future generations for agricultural production. It has a profound impact on the development of rural areas and the livelihoods of people.
Rural issues that must be addressed.
At present, some problems existing in China's rural areas must be brought to the attention of relevant departments. In order to cope with the aging population, it is necessary to vigorously promote rural construction and increase the employment opportunities and welfare of peasants. The state should adopt preferential measures to guide young people to return to their hometowns, create more jobs for them, and reduce their economic pressure. In addition, we can also increase investment in rural education, create a better environment and resources for rural development, ensure that every child can receive high-quality education, and cultivate more outstanding talents for rural construction.
At the same time, the state should also increase investment in rural infrastructure and improve the environment in transportation, communications, and living conditions, so that young people can return to their hometowns and start businesses. Support the establishment of professional cooperatives, enhance the degree of organization of rural households, enhance the bargaining power of rural households, and enhance their competitive advantages in the market.
At the same time, it can also promote the construction of rural civilization, promote the inheritance and development of agricultural civilization, and enhance the humanistic quality and national pride of farmers. Through the practice of rural literature and art, the excellent traditional culture of the countryside is displayed, and the cultural identity and unity awareness of farmers are improved.
In short, at present, China's rural areas are facing many problems such as aging population and agricultural civilization gradually disappearing, so in this regard, we must strengthen the handling of the above problems, create a more favorable environment for the development of rural areas, and improve their quality of life and happiness. Only in this way will the future of the countryside be better.
