#Article First Release Challenge#Educated youth going to the countryside is a waste of time, unbearable to look back?As a former educated youth to say such remarks, it is quite undesirable, life in the countryside is hard, but at least there is a place to stay, there is food and shelter, and you should have a grateful heart. At that time, because of the employment pressure in the city and the national financial pressure, many young people had no way to find employment, or there was no job at all, and even eating became a problem, which led to very serious social problems, so Chairman Mao called on the urban intellectual youth to go up and down the mountain.
These knowledgeable youths were sent to the vast rural areas of all parts of the country, and the peasants brought them to give them a bowl of rice to eat, thus relieving the employment and financial pressure in the cities. At the same time, we can also give full play to the knowledge power of educated youth, so that they can popularize and improve the knowledge level of rural peasants. It can be said to be a relationship that complements each other and helps each other.
However, in many cases, it is the rural areas that have helped the urban educated youth to tide over the difficulties, and in a sense, the educated youth should be grateful to the rural farmers, instead of saying some cool words, what is wasted and what is unbearable to return to the capital. If it weren't for the fact that the countryside accommodated these urban educated youth, the city might have been turned into something. Therefore, even if life in the countryside is harder, at least it is a completely different life. It is a positive state of life and a contribution to society.
The rural area of the author's hometown has also received many educated youths from local urban areas, and the village committee has specially built a brick house for them. Fire bricks are fired bricks, very hard, and the best material used to build houses in that era, you must know that at that time, our village people lived in mud brick houses. These are all money paid by the village collective, and the educated youth work together with the peasants, and they also enjoy the share of work, as long as they are not lazy, they can eat enough, which is many times better than in the city. Be grateful.
In 1959, as relations between China and the Soviet Union deteriorated, the Soviet Union withdrew its experts, stopped providing support, and returned the money owed to the Soviet Union within a specified time. Industrialization slowed down, most of the scientific research projects were stopped, and the finances could no longer support such a large population, so a large number of people from the cities who were not in important positions had to be selected to return to the countryside, and only in this way did the pressure on the state's finances be relieved.
To use an image analogy, the parents of young intellectuals can't take care of these young people because of the problem of work development, so they let them take the bedding back to their grandmother's house in the countryside, eat and live with their grandmother's family, and let their grandmother's family temporarily raise them first, and then come back when the conditions in the city are better. Therefore, it should be cherished, not something unbearable to look back on...
The movement of intellectual youth to the countryside is an important movement in Chinese history and has had a profound impact on China's economy, culture and society.
In essence, it is the rural areas that have resolved such a crisis of social development, made a good soft landing for urban economic development, resolved the urgent needs, and laid the cornerstone of urban industrial development, which has contributed a lot.
