Our hometown is a place full of fireworks, but in recent years, I have discovered something new, like an old tree sprouting new shoots, which is surprising and emotional. These "strange phenomena" are not only circulating among young people, but even those of us who are old have to prick up our ears to listen.
First of all, it was the saying that "farming does not grow people" that became popular. In the past, children were the pride of their parents, but now, children are running to the city one by one, leaving behind empty fields and lonely old farmers. There is an old saying: "If you have ten thousand taels of gold at home, it is better to have a pair of craftsmanship." "But now, no one's children are treasures, and no matter how profitable they are, they can't keep their hearts.
Then, there were more "Internet celebrities" in the village. It's not because of singing and dancing, but because of those who can make videos of their produce and upload them to the Internet. You say that this Internet is really magical, a mobile phone can turn local eggs into "local gold". I remember that era, director Zhang Yimou said: "Everyone has the right to express themselves. Now it seems that this is not wrong at all, even our rural specialties can become popular on the Internet.
Again, the way of providing for the elderly has also changed. In the past, it was a blessing for children to go around their knees, but now, the old people do their own food and clothing, and also join various elderly clubs, fitness, study, and are very busy. The old Li Tou in the village often said: "Live to be old, learn to be old, and your life will not be idle." This sentence makes those of us who watched him change from a hoe to a smartphone deeply admired.
Finally, it is a testimony of "technology changes life". Drones flying through the fields and smart devices managing farmland were a fantasy in the past. Science and technology are like the famous saying: "Science and technology are the primary productive forces." "Today, it has really changed the countryside and made our lives easier.
These four "strange phenomena" are actually the marks of the times, and they reflect the progress of society and the changes in our lives. Although it is a little frustrating, it is also full of hope. Every change is worthy of our understanding and acceptance, after all, the "era train" waits for no one, we have to keep up with its rhythm.
What's new in the countryside is like an unfinished novel, with a new chapter every day. If you are one of them, or feel about these changes, please leave a message to share your story and make our "Rural Diary" more colorful.
Like and forward, let more people see the changes in the countryside, and let this fresh wind blow in every corner. Remember, no matter when and where, we are all a family, sharing the story of this land.
