"At present, the problem of mate selection among elderly young people in rural areas is relatively common and prominent, and the marriage problem of elderly unmarried men in rural areas is gradually transforming from personal problems to social problems."
This is the reply made by the county civil affairs bureau published on the website of the Xiangyin County Government in Hunan Province to the CPPCC members' "Suggestions on Attaching Importance to the Difficulty of Choosing Spouses for Elderly Rural Youth." Recently, this reply has triggered a heated discussion on the Internet.
The reply mentioned four tasks: first, strengthen publicity and guidance, do a good job of changing customs and customs; second, simplify the procedures for investment and settlement, and facilitate the settlement of investment; third, build a blind date platform to create exchange opportunities; fourth, do a good job in employment work and improve income levels.
The first of these tasks mentioned "educating and guiding rural young women to love their hometowns and build their hometowns, encouraging them to stay in their hometowns, changing the appearance of their hometowns, and striving to reduce the imbalanced proportion of young men and women in rural areas" has particularly aroused heated discussions.
On October 6, Jiupai News contacted Wu Xiang, a member of the Xiangyin County CPPCC Committee who made suggestions, saying that he did not emphasize the need to stay in the local area, "can only say that he can improve the rural environment and strengthen his condition training through government support and vocational training." If you work outside for a few months (make a few thousand dollars), at home for a few months also make thousands of dollars (you will come back). ”
He mentioned that the fourth point of the response referred to the strengthening of vocational training.
Wu Xiang is a businessman. He found that in the village, many people could not find objects, and there were more than a dozen or twenty in a village. He then began to pay attention to the problem of old-age youth in rural areas.
He believes that the reasons for this phenomenon are that almost all the girls go out to work, the second is the influence of the concept of fertility, and the third is that some men are not literate enough, cannot find good jobs, and have a poor economic situation.
And the consequence of this situation, "Now no problem." After more than ten or twenty years, the problem came out. If these people can't find anyone to marry (in the countryside) and don't have offspring, many social problems will come out. ”
Dialogue with the parties
[1] Pension is a problem
Nine Schools News: When did you start paying attention to the issue of mate selection among older rural youth?
Wu Xiang: After joining the CPPCC, I waited and watched, in the village, many people can't find a partner, there are more than a dozen or twenty in a village, I think a township is more. One check, a lot, a lot.
Nine Factions News: What problems will the difficulty of choosing a mate bring?
Wu Xiang: The current situation is fine, but after more than ten or twenty years, the problem will come out.
Just like a person reaches the age of 60, he has no offspring, how does his life work? If you are sick, who will serve? This places a lot of burden on the country.
Nine Schools Of News: So it's from their later life?
Wu Xiang: Yes, now their lives are still fine, but when they are old, they have problems.
Nine Schools News: In terms of the phenomena you observed, what was the reason why they couldn't find an object?
Wu Xiang: One is that the girls all go out to work, which is a problem. The second is the influence of the concept of fertility, resulting in more boys than girls.
In addition, the boys who can't find a partner are generally uneducated and can't find a good job, and that job is done here and there. They don't have money. Find an object, the introduction fee is more than 10,000.
[2] It is not emphasized that it must stay here
Nine Schools News; what is the background of your suggestions?
Wu Xiang: Every year, the CPPCC meeting is held, and we have to prepare a report, usually written out in about a year. This is the proposal submitted last year.
Nine Factions News: How long have you been preparing this proposal?
Wu Xiang: This is not very long, usually in the village to do a survey, a week.
Nine Schools News: The title is "Suggestions on Attaching Importance to the Difficulty of Choosing a Spouse for Elderly Rural Youth".
Wu Xiang: Generally refers to men. I investigated, and there were more than 30,000 people in a township in Xiangyin County, of which more than 3,000 were over 30 years old. Not that this place, the proportion is high throughout the countryside.
Nine Schools News: Men can't find a daughter-in-law, and women can't find a husband, is it the same thing?
Wu Xiang: We must separate them. Women who can't find objects are high-level, and men who can't find objects are uneducated. Women marry as long as they are not fools. But men can't.
Jiupai News: Xiangyin County's reply mentioned that "it is necessary to encourage rural young women to stay in their hometowns, change the appearance of their hometowns, and strive to reduce the imbalanced proportion of rural young men and women." "What do you think?
Wu Xiang: I don't quite emphasize this here, I can only say that we can improve the rural environment and strengthen his condition training through government support and vocational training.
If you work outside for a few months (make a few thousand dollars), at home for a few months also make thousands of dollars (you will come back).
The Civil Affairs Bureau also replied, saying that we now have such a policy. (Note: The fourth point in the reply mentions, "Do a good job in employment and raise the income level.") The county human resources and social security department carries out various forms of free employment skills training for all kinds of workers in urban and rural areas who have employment requirements and training aspirations. For rural migrant workers and urban registered unemployed persons, it is necessary to focus on primary skills training so that they can master the skills of employment. ”）
I also have a suggestion about settling down after marriage. I used to have to go home to open a letter of introduction, which was very troublesome. Now only the woman's ID card, household registration book, marriage certificate are needed, and there is no need to go back to open a letter of introduction.
[3] Marriage is not a personal freedom
Jiupai News: A while ago, Luchuan, Guangxi, issued a document asking for "statistics on the number of young and middle-aged people in rural areas who have not married daughters-in-law".
Wu Xiang: I think we should count how many people there are, and the government should see if it can take some measures, open a marriage agency, tie the red line, and see if it can solve some.
In fact, I think that the government organizes the New Year's Festival to let the older young people get together and hold some parties. Young people organize together and have a party, and these are all good things.
Nine Schools Of News: Some people will think that getting married or not getting married is their own freedom.
Wu Xiang: There are not a few people who think this way. Then I don't think so, this is not personal freedom. For the sake of social progress, future generations are needed. Chinese words generally say that the most filial piety is that there are no descendants. There are three filial pieties, and no queen is greater.
Nine Schools News: Have you seen what the Internet has to say about you?
Wu Xiang: Take a look. About 80 percent of them are supportive, and the remaining 20 percent are not easy to implement, maybe just talking.
Nine Factions News: Does this make you reflect on your proposal?
Wu Xiang: No, my starting point is good.
Attached is the full text of the Xiangyin County People's Government's Reply to Proposal No. 096 of the Fifth Session of the Tenth CPPCC National Committee.
Member Wu Xiang:
Hello!
The "Suggestions on Attaching Importance to the Difficulty of Choosing Spouses for Rural Elderly Youth" put forward by you at the fifth meeting of the CPPCC County Committee has been received, and I am very grateful for your attention and concern for the difficulty of choosing a spouse for rural elderly youth. At present, the problem of difficulty in choosing a spouse for older young people in rural areas is relatively common and prominent, and the marriage problem of elderly unmarried men in rural areas is gradually transforming from a personal problem into a sensitive social problem, and has become a major problem that affects rural social stability, restricts rural economic development, and then affects the construction of a new socialist countryside and the construction of a harmonious society. After careful study and handling by the party group of our bureau, the reply to the relevant handling of your proposal is as follows:
First, strengthen publicity and guidance, and do a good job of changing customs and customs. Our county attaches great importance to the work of changing customs and customs, and at key time nodes, it separately issued the "Proposal on Civilized and Frugal Handling of Wedding and Funeral Celebrations During the Spring Festival," the "Circular on Earnestly Strengthening the Work of Changing Customs and Customs During the "May Day," the "Proposal for Civilized Sacrifice and Sweeping During the Qingming Festival," the "Open Letter to Communist Party Members in the County," the "Proposal for Rejecting the "Banquet for Further Education, the Banquet for Thanking Teachers," and the "Circular on Strengthening the Matters Concerning The Celebration of Marriage and Funeral Celebrations in a Civilized and Frugal Manner During the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival," guiding the masses to implement the main responsibilities of families and individuals, and to exercise self-restraint. Self-control and self-management, consciously resisting stereotypes such as inviting guests and gifts, and doing big things. In addition, each administrative village has set up a red and white council, established a red and white council ledger, and incorporated the standards of marriage and funeral affairs and service processes into the village rules and regulations. Through vigorously promoting the publicity activities of the new style of marriage and childbearing into thousands of homes, we will guide people to change customs and customs, gradually abandon the complicated ceremonies and expensive dowry dowries of rural marriages, and establish a frugal view of marriage. At the same time, we should educate and guide rural young women to love and build their hometowns, encourage them to stay in their hometowns, change the appearance of their hometowns, and strive to reduce the proportion of young men and women in rural areas who are out of balance.
Second, simplify the procedures for investment and settlement, and facilitate the settlement of investment. On December 28, 2020, the General Office of the People's Government of Hunan Province issued the Measures for the Administration of Household Registration in Hunan Province, Xiangzheng Banfa [2020] No. 57. According to the "Management Measures", there is no pre-emptive and additional conditions, only the following materials need to be provided: the husband and wife's household registration book, identity card, marriage certificate and the certificate of consent of the village committee (community) of the surrendered party, and fill in the "Hukou Migration Approval Form" at the police station of the place of relocation with the above procedures; the migration within the province has been completed online, and there is no need to go through the formalities at the place of relocation; the migration outside the province needs to issue a "Permit to the Population and Entry-Exit Management Brigade of the County Public Security Bureau" with the above procedures, and then go to the police station of the place of relocation with the "Permit to Move" with the "Permit permit" to handle the "Permit for Migration" Relocation Certificate", and then with the "Migration Certificate" to the police station of the place of relocation, you can complete the settlement.
Third, build a blind date platform to create exchange opportunities. To promote friendship and exchange of ideas among young people. Solve the problem of marriage and dating of young people. The Xiangyin County Committee of the Communist Youth League, the County Women's Federation, the County Civilization Office, and the County Civil Affairs Bureau jointly held the "Xiangyin With Love, Fate and Qixi" youth friendship activity in August last year. The "Xiangyin Has Love, Fate And Destiny Qixi" activity breaks the traditional blind date method, carries out the lifestyle closest to the youth, builds a platform for emotional communication with the young people for single young people, and helps more single men and women to hold hands and succeed and move towards the road to happiness.
Fourth, do a good job in employment work and raise the income level. The county human resources and social security department carries out various forms of free employment skills training for all kinds of workers in urban and rural areas who have employment requirements and training aspirations. For rural migrant workers and urban registered unemployed persons, it is necessary to focus on primary skills training so that they can master the skills of employment. Collect student information through various channels such as on-site registration, online registration, WeChat registration, telephone registration, etc., and organize classes into different categories. At the same time, we will strengthen coordination and work docking with various vocational schools and training institutions, combine the agricultural characteristic industries in our county, and hire teachers and industry veterans from famous schools such as Hunan Agricultural University and Normal University to teach to ensure the quality of training.
The above is the reply to your suggestion, I hope you criticize and correct. Thank you for your attention to the people's livelihood in our county, and hope that you will continue to put forward useful and targeted suggestions to improve our work and enhance the well-being of the people' livelihood!
