Some people predict that if this continues, 85% of rural households will be doomed.
Don't think it's incredible to hear this, let alone say I'm alarmist. This is the real situation in rural areas at present, and this phenomenon is getting worse and worse. So what are the phenomena that are so serious, and why can they affect so many families? Today, we will talk about it in detail.
First of all, the first one is the problem of high-priced bride price, in fact, when it comes to this sky-high bride price, the countryside is much more serious than the city. I don't know if there is such a situation around you. In rural areas, life is not rich in the first place, and farmers have worked hard to cultivate a few acres of land, and now the price of crops is not high, and their income is limited. But the bride price is getting higher and higher. Many peasants are forced to marry their children, give bride prices, build buildings, and go to other places to work hard to earn money when they are dozens of years old. After this marriage, I have to borrow from east to west, spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to build a house, and give a bride price of 120,000 yuan. In order to marry for their children, it is no exaggeration to say that many rural families are on the verge of returning to poverty. In the same case, the cost is not so high. But this is the reality of the countryside, if you don't build a building, someone else builds, and your small bungalow is sandwiched in the middle, which is really embarrassing, and if you don't give a bride price, then you are likely to become a male single. That's why there are so many singles in the countryside, and that's what they're facing.
As for the second one, the trend of comparison in rural areas is becoming more and more serious. All have to save face. I feel that if someone else builds a house, if he doesn't build it, he can't raise his head. Originally, the annual income was not high, and it was not easy to make money. But if someone else has it, he has to have it, and whoever buys a car in the village, some people are red-eyed, thinking that they can't let others crush themselves, they have to buy a bigger and better one. It's just that there is no money, so I have to scrape together to get online loans, and credit cards have to be realized. Some families do errands, for the sake of the scenery, put on a feast, and the banquet is good. Tobacco and alcohol are also expensive, and for the sake of the scenery in front of people, he owes a lot of debts, making his life miserable, so he can only leave his hometown and go out to work to earn money to pay off his debts. This also suffers the elderly and children at home.
Third, rural people are also fashionable now, and young people are reluctant to have children when they get married. I remember that when I was planning a family, there was basically only one child in the family in the city, and in the countryside, I had to have a few more children secretly, and everyone at that meeting thought that the family must be prosperous, so that they could be tough in the village and not be looked down upon. And there are people who do farm work. However, young people in rural areas are very open-minded, and they also feel that raising children is stressful, and some rural families also attach great importance to their children's education, and will go to the city to rent a house and let their children go to school in the city. In that case, the cost of living will be much higher than in my hometown. So no matter what the parents say, they don't want to have more children. And now even farming is also mechanized, and it doesn't matter if there are many people and few people.
The fourth is that the divorce rate in rural areas is getting higher and higher, and when I heard about divorce before, I felt that it was a matter for people in the city, but now when it comes to divorce, there are more and more things in rural areas. With the rapid development of society and the coverage of the network, the rural areas are currently more and more connected with the outside world. In addition, many young people in rural areas get married early, are young and immature, and no one accommodates anyone after marriage, so there will be contradictions. In addition, many young people go to the city to work after getting married in their hometown, and they come into contact with the outside world of flowers, and some people's thinking has changed, and some husbands and wives are not together after marriage and can't withstand the temptation of the outside world. In the long run, there will be estrangement and contradictions between the husband and wife, which will eventually lead to the breakdown of marriage and family.
Fifth, many villages have now become empty villages, and the villages are full of old people, and young people can hardly see them. In order to make a living, many people work in other places all year round, and they only go back for a few days during the Spring Festival. So what I usually see in the village are all old people. Some young people have been working in the city for a few years, and they have gradually adapted to life in the city, so they have saved some savings to buy a house in the city and settle down. Moreover, there are few schools in rural areas, and some of them cannot reach the educational resources, so they also want their children to go to school in the cities. Gradually, I went home less often. Take the old people in the family to live in the city, many of them have lived in the countryside all their lives, they are not used to the life in the city, and they feel depressed and uncomfortable living upstairs. So after a while, I went back to my hometown in the countryside to live. However, as these elderly people get older, the problem of old-age care has gradually emerged. How to let them enjoy their old age in peace, and how to rely on the old and provide for the old is also a very real and serious problem nowadays.
