In recent years, there have been more and more new houses in the countryside, but strangely enough, fewer and fewer people are living in these new houses. In the past, every Chinese New Year, the countryside was the most lively place, and families would return to their hometowns to reunite with each other and celebrate together. However, now people are more inclined to work and live in the city, and only go home to post a couplet and worship their ancestors during the Chinese New Year, and leave without eating lunch at home. The newly built houses in the village are uninhabited and have become abandoned "unfinished houses". The village is filled with empty houses and a few elderly people, which makes people feel depressed.
The increasing number of singles in rural areas is a cause for concern. With the development of the economy, the modern way of life has made young people in rural areas more pursue their personal life and career development. Surprisingly, however, a significant number of my generation of men are still single. In stark contrast, rural women choose marriage at a young age, and there is little to see of the remaining single women. This phenomenon may be due to the fact that rural men are more focused on career and work pressures, while women are more focused on stable family life, leading to differences in marriage choices between the two.
With the development of the economy, every household in rural areas has a television set, and the TV set is getting bigger and bigger. However, in the lives of the villagers, the television set is becoming more and more an ornament, and almost no one watches it. Even on important occasions such as the Chinese New Year's Eve, rural people prefer to play cards, use their mobile phones or take an early break rather than watch TV. Even the older ones and kids rarely use TV as their primary entertainment tool, preferring to use short** and apps on their phones. This is mainly because the excessive advertisements and repetitive plots in modern TV dramas make people feel irritable, while the short ** in mobile phones is more in line with people's entertainment needs.
We thought that wealthy families would choose to have more children, but in rural areas the opposite is true. In fact, many young people from wealthy families have only one child or no child at all. This is because they pay more attention to the development of their personal career and the improvement of their quality of life, rather than the burden of raising children. In contrast, some rural families have many children despite poor economic conditions. This may be due to the fact that these families are more dependent on their children's labor and want to increase their family's financial income by having multiple children.
The area of cultivated land in the countryside is getting larger and larger, however, the people who cultivate the land are becoming fewer and fewer. In the past, in order to survive and develop, peasants worked hard to obtain land resources and worked hard to cultivate. But now, a lot of farmland has been abandoned and the land has become an abandoned wasteland. This phenomenon may be due to the weakening of farmers' enthusiasm for farmland work, or the reduction of the economic efficiency of farmland cultivation. Whatever the reason, it shows that the problem of rural farmland utilization has not been effectively solved. These strange phenomena reflect the changes in the social structure of rural areas and the changes in people's concept of life, and need to be further studied and resolved. Otherwise, the smell of the New Year in the rural areas will continue to fade, the abandonment of farmland will be further aggravated, and the development of the rural areas will also be adversely affected.
