## Description
When you step into China's vast countryside, you will find that there are many unspoken stories hidden there. In this land, the subsistence allowance policy, as an important force to change the fate of farmers, has undergone decades of development and adjustment. Today, let us listen to an old farmer's views on the rural subsistence allowance.
## Body
### What exactly is Dibao?
Dibao, the full name of "minimum living guarantee for urban and rural residents", is a social assistance system implemented by the state to ensure basic living standards. This policy aims to help the needy groups get through the difficulties of life, which can not only provide financial support, but also symbolize the warmth and care of the society.
### The dialectical relationship between warmth and burden
Grandpa Chen, an old farmer, said in an interview that the subsistence allowance is indeed a timely relief for some farmers in distress. However, he also expressed concern that the subsistence allowance could not become an iron job for farmers. He believes that the subsistence allowance policy is only a temporary help, and farmers should be encouraged to take the initiative to get rich, rather than relying on handouts.
### Help alleviate poverty and get out of the predicament
Dibao is not a goal, but a transition. Uncle Xiao, a farmer who once relied on subsistence allowance to get out of his predicament, proudly tells us that he has successfully moved out of the subsistence allowance category by developing aquaculture and agricultural product processing. He firmly believes that the Dibao policy should be a gradual elimination process, rather than a long-term state.
### Popularize knowledge and promote equity
For some old farmers with a low level of education, they do not know much about the subsistence allowance policy. Aunt Li told us that her neighbor missed out on the subsistence allowance because she didn't understand the application process, which made her life difficult. Therefore, we should strengthen publicity and education to let more farmers know about the subsistence allowance policy and provide necessary assistance.
### Holistic development and more support
Ms. Liu, a primary school teacher in the village, told us that the subsistence allowance policy should focus more on all-round development. In addition to providing financial assistance, poor farmers should also be provided with training, medical support, etc., to help them improve their quality of life and integrate into society.
## Conclusion
During the interviews, we heard the views of the old farmers on the rural subsistence allowance: the subsistence allowance is a warm relief, but it cannot become an iron rice bowl, it should help alleviate the poverty and help farmers get out of difficulties, the popularization of knowledge can promote fairness, and the all-round development can give more support. By gaining a deeper understanding of the rural subsistence allowance policy, we will contribute to building a better rural life.
