Ruralof the elderly are really miserable, they are often uneducated, they live in an information-closed environment, and there are hardly anyEconomy**。Some of them need to sell vegetables to make money in order to buy salt and daily necessities. Although someRuralThe regions are relatively wealthy, but this is only a minority. MostlyRuralPeople are basically self-sufficient, but once they encounter natural and man-made disasters, they have no ability to resist pressure at all. This is also why the state is now propagatingFarmersDeliveredRetirementInsurance, but the reason why it was opposed by a bunch of people.
In fact,RuralThe elderly are very dependent on their childrenRetirementThey hope that their son can bring it when he gets marriedRetirementof stability. This was the case with my husband's father. In his consciousness, he believes in raising children to prevent old age, and thinks that as long as his son is married, he can enjoy happiness. Five years ago, when we got married, he started to quit his job and stop working to earn money, even though he was only 52 years old, eight years before the retirement age for men in the system. Since he didn'tPension, hisRetirementThe plan can only be pinned on the son and daughter-in-law.
So did my parentsRuralBorn, carried out in ShaanxiFarmersfor a lifetime. Since I have two older sisters, they have been thinking about it since I was in elementary schoolRetirementIssue. They began planting apple and pear trees and raising chickens to feed their families. After years of hard work, all three of us sisters have completed college and even graduate school. Subsequently, they began to plantGrapesto increase revenue. WheneverGrapesWhen they mature, they will go to do odd jobs in the hope of lightening their burden. They always say: if they work more, we will do less in the future and live frugally to save some money. Every time I go back to my hometown and give them money, they always don't want to ask for it, saying they already have it. I can only ** them after I leave and put the money into their bank account. They always say that the money is for me to save for the future, and they are full of expectations for my future.
Different regions forRuralThe elderly'sRetirementThere are certain differences in policy. For example, as I understand it, where I amFarmersIt is possible to purchase social security, or you can choose to pay a certain amount of money at a timeIncrease your retirement benefits。However, the specific amount generally does not exceed 50,000 yuan. My grandfather chose to make up social security, so ten years agoPensionIt can also reach more than 2,000 yuan. Now, my grandmother'sPensionIt's also the same amount. In addition, the village will also give some subsidies to some elderly people, about one or two hundred yuan a month. Of course, the children usually give them some money. InRuralThe cost of living is relatively small, so my grandfather always felt that the money given by the state was not used up before he died.
However, not every oneRuralThere are enough for the elderlyPensions。I have a friend's family who lives in a remote areaRuralIn addition to cultivating their own land, they also rent other people's land to plantTrees。Even though they are in their sixties, they are still working hard through plantingTreesEarn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. They use this income not only to support themselves, but also to support my friends who are working hard in Beijing. In comparison, my grandfather only had 5,000 yuan a yearPension。He is 98 years old this year, and I remember coming home from school to look for him ten years ago, and he was still sitting on the ground crying that he couldn't do anything.
As can be seen from these examples,RuralThe satisfaction of the old man seems to be very low. I was hesitant to help my parents apply for immigrant green cards because they were worried that they would have no Chinese neighbors and playmates when they went abroad. This also reflectsRuralThe degree of people's desire for a comfortable life.
One possible explanation is:RuralPeople generally hold the concept of raising children to prevent old age, believing that as long as children have good jobs and can take care of them, they can enjoy itRetirementof stability. Therefore, most of themRuralThe old man did not take the initiative to accumulatePensionsor other wealth, but to hope for the support of children. On the other hand,RuralThe cost of living is relatively lowPensionEven subsidies are sometimes enough to maintain basic living, thereforeFarmersRightEconomyThe requirements of the situation are not high.
RuralThe level of pity for the elderly is truly poignant, they have little opportunity to receive a good education and there are not enoughEconomy**。And, due to the lack of itPensionor otherPensionsplan support, they are more dependent on their childrenRetirementThe situation is serious.
However, we also need to be awareRuralThe attitude and values of the elderly are different. They pay more attention to family and affection, believing that as long as their children can take care of them, they will be able to live a happy and stable old age. This mindset may be difficult to understand in the city, but we should respect their choices and opinions.
