The phenomenon of young people being unwilling to return to their hometowns to farm should arouse vigilance
What is preventing young people who go out to work from being willing to return to their hometowns to farm? Today, this is not a topic that is deliberately made to sound profound. When rural young people prepare for their careers, they seldom take becoming a professional farmer as a future goal. Apart from those born in the 1950s and some born in the 1960s, among the village people who consciously choose to be a professional farmer, those born in the 1970s are unwilling, those born in the 1980s do not know how, and those born in the 1990s do not even discuss it.

Three rural reforms must break out of three major misconceptions, including the household registration system reform
I. On the household registration system reform. I feel that the household registration reform over the past 30 years has been going around in circles. Why was the household registration system not reformed well in the past? If viewed from the planned system before the reform, there was no problem with the household registration system at all. The urban-rural dual household registration system was completely reasonable, because it served the planned economy. Now reforming the household registration system is right, because what we are running now is not a planned economy, not unified purchasing and marketing, not a rationing system. In the new system, the problem with the household registration system is unequal national treatment, discrimination against farmers, and obstruction of free movement. In the past, farmers compared with farmers were equal, and urban people compared with each other were also equal, and the urban-rural gap was not very large, so people at that time had a high patriotic sentiment. For example, I lived in Beijing for more than ten years, and it did not give me the same treatment as Beijing residents, so I could not feel the dignity of being Chinese. Many farmers who go to Beijing to work all face this problem, so the household registration system is a very big problem. The household registration system itself is not the problem; the problem is the welfare differences and treatment discrimination behind the household registration system.
