In the vast sea of the Internet, a post about the "big picture" of farmers has attracted a lot of attention. Like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, it stirs up ripples and makes people re-examine the role and status of farmers in society.
At the outset, we have to be clear: peasants, this huge group, have always been the cornerstone of national stability. They cultivate the land, produce food, and keep society running. However, in this post, netizens listed a series of "expectations" for farmers, as if farmers should silently assume all social responsibilities, while their livelihood security is rarely cared about.
"Although the price of grain is not high, farmers have to sell it to the state to ensure food security." This sentence seems to be righteous and righteous, but it ignores the basic rights and interests of peasants as economic individuals. Shouldn't farmers get a reasonable market return for the grain they grow? Why do they always have to sacrifice their economic interests in the name of the "big picture"?
Let's talk about the housing economic crisis. Farmers were expected to take out loans to buy houses in order to ensure stable prices. Here we can't help but ask: does the economic situation of the peasants allow them to do this? Will they be able to withstand such financial pressures with limited land returns?
Give birth to three children and continue to ensure the demographic dividend. This point of view is even more laughable. Is the demographic dividend only dependent on farmers to sustain it? And, in today's social environment, do peasant families have enough resources and capacity to raise more children?
The pensions of civil servants, teachers, and central enterprises are relatively high, which is part of the social system, and it is understandable. However, the post mentions that farmers should not make comparisons, which seems to be a high-minded posture to warn farmers to be "content". But where is the social security for the peasants? How can their old age be guaranteed?
Finally, farmers are expected to consume boldly, boost domestic demand, and ensure the smooth functioning of the economy. Here again, we see double standards for farmers. On the one hand, they have a limited income; On the other hand, they are expected to consume like people with more spending power.
A netizen's sentence "Children who can make have candy to eat, and honest children are bullied" expresses the voice of many farmers. Is this the "moral kidnapping" of the peasants by society? Can the shoulders of the farmer's uncle really pick up the heavy words "food security"?
We have to ponder deeply: In this era centered on economic development, have the lives and rights and interests of peasants been paid enough attention? Are they just being used as "tools" to keep society running?
The lives and future of farmers, a group that plays an important role in China's long history, deserve each of us' attention and consideration. They are not a burden to society, but contributors to society. What they need is not only a verbal "concept of the big picture", but also a real life guarantee and respect.
We cannot only see the contribution of farmers to society and ignore their needs and plight. Farmers are also human beings, they also have their own dreams and pursuits, and they also want to be able to live a better life.
Therefore, we should re-examine the status and role of farmers in society. They are not victims of the "big picture", but an important force for the development of society. We should give them more attention and support so that they can truly enjoy the fruits of social development.
On this issue, we need the joint efforts of the whole society. The government should increase its support for agriculture and raise the income level of farmers; Enterprises should actively participate in rural development and provide more employment opportunities for farmers; And each of us should also start from ourselves, pay attention to the living conditions of farmers, and provide them with more help and support.
Only in this way can we truly achieve social harmony and stability. Only when the livelihood and rights and interests of peasants are guaranteed can they devote themselves more actively to social production and make greater contributions to social development.
So, what do you think about this issue? How do you think we should change the status quo for farmers? Welcome to leave your views and opinions in the comment area, and let us explore and solve this social problem together. Let's work together to contribute to a fairer and more harmonious society!
