With the development of the times, the issue of pension has gradually become the focus of social attention. There is no shortage of voices on the Internet, calling on the state to issue pensions to farmers. In the face of this demand, we need to recognize that the state has provided two opportunities to make up the pension insurance, but many rural residents have chosen to give up after careful consideration. They worry that the investment is not proportional to the return, and doubt that they will live to enjoy the results. Eventually, when the pension was not available, quite a few people began to complain endlessly.
However, the story of my daughter-in-law's uncle may shed some light on this issue. He is a person who started as a private teacher, worked tirelessly to become a full-time teacher, and eventually enjoyed a generous pension. The hard work of teaching more than 30 miles back and forth every day, and the meager salary, did not stop him from pursuing a better life. Finally, in 1997, he passed the exams, became a full-time teacher, and received a substantial pension in the policy dividends that followed. Today, he lives a stable and happy life, not only has a spacious house in the countryside, but also has a property in the city, becoming the envy of everyone in the village.
In stark contrast to this, there are rural elderly people who do not have a pension. They are old and weak, dependent on their children for every penny, and in the long run, family relations are strained and their quality of life is greatly reduced. Hospitalization is a heavy burden for them. This reality tells us that the model of relying on children to provide for the elderly is gradually reaching an impasse.
We must recognize that changes in society require us to renew our minds. In the past, it was the norm to be born and old in one place, and siblings working together to take care of the elderly did not cause much stress. But today, with frequent population movements, young people are struggling with the pressures of housing, education and work, as well as the burden of providing for the elderly. Therefore, it is particularly important to prepare a pension for your old age.
At the end of the article, I would like to say that the sky does not fall the pie, and in order to get a pension, we need to work on our own. Stop expecting the state to give pensions to rural people, because urban dwellers also earn pensions for their hard work. For the future of ourselves and our families, we should actively plan and pay pension insurance from now on, reduce unnecessary expenses, and lay a solid foundation for our later life. Only in this way can we enjoy the peace and dignity we deserve in our old age.
