The countryside is so vast, must it be only for playing mahjong?
Not long ago, when I returned to my hometown, I found that several more mahjong parlors had opened in the village, and most of those playing mahjong were left-behind elderly people. The owner of the mahjong parlor said that the elderly have nothing much to do at home, so they come over to play mahjong and relax. Playing mahjong itself is a form of leisure; when fellow villagers gather together, as long as it is not gambling, there is nothing wrong with relaxing and building relationships at the same time. However, mahjong becoming the dominant or even the only leisure activity is not necessarily what the elderly want. Some elderly people have expressed their helplessness: they want to play table tennis to keep fit, but there is no equipment; the village also has a reading room, but the books on the shelves do not suit their taste and are covered in dust... "If not for mahjong, I really do not know what to do."

Going forward, the wheat market mechanism will play a further role
New wheat market performs steadily In mid-to-late July, when reporters visited grain enterprises in major wheat-producing areas such as Jiangsu, Henan, Hebei and Shandong, they found that the phenomenon commonly seen in previous years of market players driving up prices to scramble for grain sources was gone. At many sites for purchasing wheat for the temporary state reserve, grain brokers and traders coming to sell grain lined up in an orderly way to be weighed, put into storage and settled. At the grain collection points set up by small vendors and grain brokers, reporters saw a steady stream of small horse-drawn carts bringing farmers to sell grain.
