How can rural revitalization succeed? First, remove the three big stones weighing on farmers' minds

Since the beginning of this year, from the central government down to the township level, rural revitalization has been placed first among the three rural issues of agriculture, rural areas and farmers. "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" is no longer just a slogan but is being genuinely implemented, and for this farmers are also full of confidence in the government.

What we commonly understand as rural revitalization might be painting the walls in villages, building a parking lot, or putting up some slogans, but can these bring farmers real benefits? The fundamental purpose of rural revitalization is to let farmers live better lives. Let's hear what farmers say when they chat.

About rural revitalization, farmers have three wishes. They say: if these three points are achieved, can the countryside still fail to be revitalized?

First, they hope schools can be in the village, rather than in a township or city over ten kilometers away. For one child's schooling, the family must spare one laborer to look after them. Nowadays, letting a child walk to school alone is worrying, and besides, kindergarten already requires leaving the village - how many parents can feel at ease with that? Accompanying a child for school not only costs one laborer, but in county towns, couples accompanying children for school often end up in discord and even divorce, and not a few at that.

Second, they hope to have medical care for illness, without having to run to the county town for a minor ailment. Although it is said that village-level clinics now exist, in an administrative village of 2000 people, the clinic's area is less than 30 sq m, and the doctor still works only half a day. During flu season, when a dozen farmers go to see a doctor together, let alone a bed for an IV drip, there isn't even a place to sit. Yet a village committee of seven or eight people has a building of several hundred to over a thousand sq m. Farmers all say they can't understand it.

Third, they hope to work at their doorstep or do farm work to support a family. If they could support a family in their own village, who would be willing to leave home and abandon wife and children? Farmers don't seek great wealth, only to steadily support the whole family, old and young. There are also elderly people whose sons are unmarried who put forward one more wish: they hope the future in-laws will no longer pressure them to buy a house in the county town. Their own house in the countryside is built quite well, almost up to the standard of a county-town villa.

Farmers are practical. Aren't their wishes exactly the goals of rural revitalization? I believe that as the country grows stronger, their wishes will come true in the near future.
