With a sigh, floating on the silent fields, ten villages and nine emptiness, three households and two locked doors, this is a realistic portrayal of the rural areas of the mainland. In the past, the smoke curled and the chickens and dogs smelled each other, but now there are only a few sighs left. The countryside, the land that carries the Chinese civilization, is facing an unprecedented predicament.
So, what is the way out for the future of China's rural areas?
We cannot ignore the massive loss of rural population:
In the past, the countryside was the root of the people, and the land was the life of the people. However, as urbanization advances, more and more farmers are choosing to leave their land and move into cities. With a yearning for a better life, they seek better employment opportunities and a better life for their families. However, in this process, the population of rural areas has gradually decreased, land resources have been idle, and rural development has fallen into difficulties.
The hollowing out of rural areas is becoming more and more serious:
As young people go out, rural areas are left with a large number of empty nesters and left-behind children. They lack care, education, and even basic health care. This has not only affected the harmony and stability of the rural areas, but also caused serious constraints on the development of the rural areas.
So, where is the way out for the future of China's rural areas? I believe that the way out lies in rural revitalization. Rural revitalization is not simply to let farmers return to the countryside, but to make the countryside an attractive place, so that farmers can also live a good life in the countryside.
1. We need to promote agricultural modernization.
Agricultural modernization is not only a change in the mode of agricultural production, but also an upgrade of the agricultural industry chain. We should popularize modern agricultural technology, improve agricultural production efficiency, and reduce the labor intensity of peasants. At the same time, we should extend the agricultural industrial chain, develop the deep processing of agricultural products, and increase the added value of agricultural products, so that farmers can also earn money on the land.
2. We need to improve the living environment in rural areas.
The beauty of the countryside lies not only in the natural environment, but also in the human environment. We need to step up the construction of rural infrastructure, improve the level of public services in rural areas, and make rural areas a livable place. At the same time, we must carry forward the rural culture and let the countryside leave more memories and more humanistic care.
3. We must strengthen the cultivation of qualified personnel in rural areas.
Talent is the key to rural revitalization. We need to strengthen education and training for the left-behind population in rural areas, improve their employability, and enable them to find suitable jobs in rural areas. At the same time, we should encourage college students to return to their hometowns to start businesses and inject new vitality into rural revitalization.
In short, rural revitalization is the way out for the future of rural areas in mainland China. We must adhere to the principle of putting people first, promote agricultural modernization, improve the living environment in rural areas, strengthen personnel training, and make rural areas an attractive place so that farmers can live a better life in rural areas. Only in this way will the rural areas of the mainland be able to extricate themselves from their current predicament and move toward prosperity and strength.
