In the process of new urbanization, rural value must be squarely recognized
The traditional urbanization model has caused great misunderstanding and man-made destruction of rural value. We have many misconceptions in our understanding of the relationship between city and countryside. The urban-rural relationship is both like that of husband and wife and like that of mother and child. The city and the countryside are like husband and wife because they are interdependent and functionally complementary, and neither can do without the other. The city and the countryside are like mother and child because rural civilization came first and urban civilization came later; urban civilization is a new civilization bred and developed from rural civilization, and the roots of urban civilization lie in the countryside. Urban civilization takes rural civilization as its foundation and support, and without the countryside, the city cannot survive normally. Urban civilization is the sublimation and crystallization of rural civilization. We can neither place urban civilization above the countryside nor place rural civilization above urban civilization. In the natural process of social evolution, the two civilizations should learn from each other's strengths to offset their weaknesses and achieve win-win cooperation. We cannot simply assume that urban civilization is superior to rural civilization, nor simply assume that rural civilization is superior to urban civilization; rather, they are interdependent, functionally complementary, and mutually reinforcing.

In urban society, such criticism and reproach are unproblematic; but, face to face with rural migrant workers, I cannot bring myself to say it. Migrant children, left-behind
