In 1998, global financial markets suddenly fell into a serious crisis. The disaster, known as the "'98 financial crisis," had a huge impact on countries around the world, and China's economy was also severely affected. In this crisis, 400,000 businesses closed and 45 million people were laid off. However, in this bleak picture, there is a group of people who have made great contributions to the country in obscurity, and they are farmers.
The peasant community has always been the cornerstone of China's economy. Whether in times of economic prosperity or crisis, they stuck to their land and supported the development of the entire country with their hard work and wisdom. In this financial crisis, it was the perseverance and efforts of farmers that enabled China's economy to remain relatively stable. The efforts of farmers have also improved the narrowing of the gap between urban and rural areas. The efforts of farmers in this crisis have led to the rapid development of infrastructure in rural areas and the improvement of farmers' living standards. This series of positive changes has further contributed to the narrowing of the urban-rural gap and equalized opportunities for farmers and urban dwellers.
In this financial crisis, Wen Tiejun mentioned the key role of farmers. All along, peasants were considered representatives of the lower strata of society, and their labor was undervalued and ignored. However, Wen stressed that farmers, with their hard work and tenacity, have played a key role in the crisis. Farmers provide food security for the country. Although the peasants themselves faced great difficulties, they persevered on the land and worked hard to provide a stable food supply for the country. In this special period, farmers have played a vital role in national food security and ensured social stability.
The prosperity of rural markets has driven the demand and consumption of agricultural products. Since the rural population accounts for a large proportion, agricultural markets have become an important support point for economic recovery. This not only provides farmers with new opportunities and sources of income, but also provides a solid foundation for the rapid recovery of the country's economy. The promotion of agricultural modernization has further enhanced the strength of farmers themselves. In the economic crisis, rural areas through technological innovation and industrial upgrading, agricultural production is worth a significant increase. Modern agriculture has created more jobs and increased income space for farmers, so that the overall income of farmers has been improved.
Farmers are stabilizers in the economy. During the financial crisis, enterprises and institutions in many cities faced the fate of bankruptcy, and a large number of workers were forced to lay off. Farmers, on the other hand, were able to rely on their own farming and planting to sustain themselves without the effects of the financial crisis. Through their labor, they provided a stable food supply for the city, ensuring social stability and the people's peace and contentment. The peasants are the saviors of the economy. During the financial crisis, many businesses faced a shortage of funds and found it difficult to continue operating. At this time, many farmers voluntarily gave up their land and borrowed money to support the development of enterprises. They used their hard-earned money to prop up a dilapidated economic order, giving those businesses life and hope.
Farmers are miracle workers in the economy. Under the pressure of the financial crisis, farmers have not only flexibly coped with various difficulties, but also changed their traditional agricultural management methods through their own innovation. They adopted new technologies and varieties, increased the yield and quality of crops, and promoted the modernization of agriculture. The efforts of farmers have injected new impetus into the country's economic development. Farmers played a crucial role in the financial crisis. They hold on to their land and strive to maintain the stability of the country. They took care of everyone in their small homes and proved the profound meaning of "the peasants saved you" with their actions. It is precisely because of their efforts and contributions that China's economy has been able to survive the difficult period and finally embarked on the road of rapid development.
While reviewing history, we should cherish the peasant community. They are the foundation of China's development and the guarantee of national prosperity. We should truly realize that the labor and effort of farmers is priceless and cannot be measured in money. Only by seeing them as the backbone of national development can we better protect their rights and interests, promote agricultural modernization, and achieve the goal of rural revitalization. The peasants still endure the baptism of wind and rain and guard their fields. They are heroes of the country whenever and wherever they are. Let's pay tribute to the farmers together for their contributions to the country! At the same time, we also call on all sectors of society to pay attention to the rights and interests of farmers, provide them with better policies and guarantees, and let them live a happy and satisfying life! Farmers, you saved us, thank you!
