The issue of agriculture, agriculture and agriculture has always been the top priority in the people's livelihood issues on the mainland, and the first document of the central government every year is about the three rural areas, and it can be said that the stability and development of the rural areas are related to the stability and sustainable development of the whole country.
At present, the speed of urbanization in the mainland is accelerating day by day, and the urbanization rate on the mainland is close to 70 percent, and the whole country is undergoing rapid changes.
Many people sighed that they never dreamed that our country would develop so fast, and many things that were previously extravagant also flew into the homes of ordinary people.
But at the same time, while enjoying the convenience and beauty that urbanization brings to our lives, we should not ignore the contradictions in rural areas.
Many people say that if the current pace of development continues, the rural areas will undergo radical changes in another 10 years.
And the most difficult thing is the post-50s and post-60s people, because they are about to face 3 unavoidable problems.
First, the three major problems that the post-50s and post-60s generations in rural areas will face
The rural population is losing and aging seriously.
I believe that everyone will feel this way, especially the children who grew up in the countryside feel even stronger, that is, the rural population, especially young people, is getting smaller and smaller. There is no longer the lively scene of the old crowd and excitement.
Young people are moving to the big cities to make a living, the rest of the rural areas are elderly, and in many rural areas people in their fifties and sixties are young adults.
Even in the countryside in some remote areas, there are no more people except for a few people.
In the past, the lively scene of rural families living together for several generations only appeared during the Chinese New Year. In the past few years, many people have seen that young people return to the city after the firecrackers, and the reluctant eyes of the parents in the countryside.
The most serious consequence of this is that the rural population has been seriously reduced, and in recent years, the mainland government has been actively promoting the implementation of the policy of merging villages and towns, and the most basic reason is that there are really not many people left in our rural areas.
The elderly are the most in need of companionship, the loss of population in the countryside will increase their sense of loneliness, and lack of children's company, if they encounter widowhood and other problems in old age, the rural elderly will be lonely, and even lose the information to live.
And for them, it is not so appropriate to follow their children to live in the city. Because they have spent their whole lives in the countryside, they cannot adapt to life in the city, but will feel that the high-rise buildings in the city restrict their life.
At the same time, living with children will also face many difficulties, such as the difference in living habits between the two generations, the simplest example is that young people nowadays have completely different schedules from their parents. They may wait until noon to get up, but parents get up at four or five in the morning.
In addition, the life pressure of young people is also relatively high, and the housing prices in the city are also relatively expensive, which discourages many people, and it is very difficult for a young couple to live with the elderly in a small home.
Therefore, under the premise of so many difficulties, they can only live in their own homes, and the rural population is lost, and there is a lack of people who used to speak, so it will cause many elderly people to cause depression and other problems.
The continuous disappearance of traditional rural culture.
Many people feel that there is less and less traditional culture now, and the most obvious feature is that the flavor of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker. Many middle-aged and elderly friends have memories that when they were young, the New Year was really called the New Year, and the flavor of the New Year was strong at that time.
From the beginning of entering the Layue Gate, the adults at home began to work, and the market also began to do all kinds of busy work, the slaughterers began to kill the New Year pigs, and many children went to the street together to play various games and set off small firecrackers.
When it is time for the Chinese New Year, the whole family gathers together to set off firecrackers, eat dumplings, and watch the Spring Festival Gala. In the second half of the night, the whole village went out together to greet each other, and what the children were most looking forward to on the first day of the new year was to put on the new clothes they had been waiting for for a long time.
But now the New Year seems to be everyone eating dumplings together, after eating, children play games, adults play mobile phones to brush videos, and no one watches the Spring Festival Gala, and relatives and friends who used to go to house to pay New Year's greetings have not been contacted for many years, as if there is no difference between the New Year and usual.
In addition to the Chinese New Year, the traditional culture of the countryside is also disappearing, and the shadow puppet shows and storytellers that used to walk the streets and alleys have disappeared.
The neighbor culture that used to be distant relatives and not as good as close neighbors has gradually disappeared, in exchange for a cold mobile phone.
In another decade or so, many elderly people in rural areas will probably be able to stay in their own homes with a mobile phone to live, and there will no longer be so many activities on the street, and there will not be so many friends who come out to talk and bask in the sun.
In the past, the Yangko team and drum team in the countryside have also disappeared, and in exchange for the occasional square dance, the excellent traditions of the countryside are gradually disappearing, as if inadvertently, the countryside has also achieved urbanization, which makes people unprepared.
The gradual consolidation of arable land resources.
For farmers, the land can be said to be their life. Especially the post-50s and post-60s elderly, they have been farming all their lives, and if they are suddenly stopped farming, they don't know what they should do.
At present, the mainland government has released news that the mainland's land policy will continue to maintain the policy for 30 years after the contract expires in 2030, but the main problem now is that the young people in the countryside are gone, and many elderly people can't farm if they want to.
Moreover, although the land policy remains unchanged, there is now a situation in many rural areas in which large grain growers have contracted land for cultivation in a concentrated manner. For many elderly people, because they cannot afford to continue farming, most of them will choose to contract out the land.
Moreover, with the continuous progress of urbanization, the land of many villages in our suburbs has been developed into urban residential areas, which has also caused many farmers to lose the land they rely on for survival.
In fact, for many old people, it is not that they do not want to farm, but they have lost their ability. We Chinese have had land plots since ancient times, and many city people say that they will return to the countryside to farm after retirement.
Chinese aunts in the United States have even developed the green belt of the community into a small vegetable garden, which is also welcomed by many friends. However, for rural friends, with the integration and redistribution of land resources, many rural elderly people feel difficult to adapt.
The long-term absence of children, coupled with the integration and reorganization of land resources, and the gradual disappearance of traditional rural culture, make many post-50s and post-60s friends feel very uncomfortable, and their lives will become very difficult in the next 10 years.
2. How to adapt to this kind of life
Have a good attitude and spend your old age happily.
You should actively adjust your mentality, don't think about how old you are, and find your own hobbies when you were young to distract yourself.
You can actively regulate yourself by traveling, doing handicrafts, practicing calligraphy, or playing musical instruments. Last year, Tianjin diving master was out of the circle, in fact, it is a positive mentality, and only by maintaining this mentality can you live a long life.
At the same time, the most important point is to control emotions and not get angry, our body is like a diary, recording every emotional change we have, although sometimes anger can release inner pressure, but it will also cause harm to physical health.
After entering the old age, we have experienced enough things, and we have seen many things, so we must treat the trivial things in life smoothly and treat them calmly.
If there is a problem, find a way to solve it, and if you can't solve it, you should completely let go, don't think too much, and face life calmly, so that in the days to come, live as you like, live with your encounters, and live up to the experience of coming to this world.
Maintain an independent mindset. Friends born in the 50s and 60s must develop the habit of handling things on their own, and they can't rely on their children to deal with everything.
People live in this world, and although they are group animals, it does not mean that whoever leaves cannot continue to live. The same is true for children.
Many times the relationship between parents and children will become more and more stiff, because the children feel that their parents do not understand them, they are already very busy, and they have to go home to help deal with many small things.
Parents will feel that their children have no conscience, and they have finally pulled them up, and they are unwilling to do such a small thing for themselves, and both parties will feel very unhappy.
Of course, it does not mean that you can't ask your children for help in everything, and you still have to rely on your children to help you with many things that you can't handle, but you should try to be mentally prepared to handle things independently.
Be mentally prepared for more sophisticated financial planning. Many people say that money is the root of all problems and can solve almost all problems.
In the past, many elderly people relied on their children's monthly living expenses when they were old, but now when they ask their children for living expenses, they suddenly find that their children seem to be poorer than them.
Therefore, friends born in the 50s and 60s must have more refined financial planning than before. 60 years old is not considered to be old age, and there is still a certain amount of time to take care of your assets.
At the same time, the yield of many financial products is actually unable to catch up with the speed of inflation, so we must formulate a comprehensive financial plan.
III. Conclusion
Birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm in life, so don't lose your confidence in life just because you are getting older. Seniors will also have the excitement of their old age.
Although many post-50s and post-60s friends will face the three unavoidable problems mentioned above in the next ten years.
But it is not impossible to solve, as long as you adjust your mentality and make a good financial plan, you can get a good old age.
The post-50s and post-60s friends have actually lived a lot of twists and turns in this life, and when they reach the age of happiness, we must work together to let them have a good old age.
