This is life, the ancient people actually summarized it long ago: "All things are inferior, only reading is high". Regardless of whether you are urban or rural, when you are young if you read well, because there is culture, may stay in the city to work, some also entered the government sector, a number of years later, you retired, there are a few thousand dollars of pension, basically in old age, food and clothing without worry. But that year with you on the same street or in the same village of a small partner, because not properly study, the city, in the end, may not have a fixed job; in the countryside, has been face to face with the soil back to the sky to do farm work. They will one day be old, basically no financial income, the city may have a few hundred dollars of low income, rural, may not have any low income, can only rely on raising some chickens, grow their own vegetables to maintain their old age, right?
This may basically be the most common one of the current writing epitomizes it. Is not it, look at the city now, the vast majority of the elderly, the vast majority of the previous are retired in the government administrative organs, public prosecutors and lawyers, schools, scientific research and medical units, factories, mines, state-owned enterprises, business, etc., especially within the system, the retired salary is much higher than other units of the retirees. But these retirees have a high salary of 10,000 to 20,000, medium may have four or five thousand, the lowest also has more than a thousand dollars, according to the current standard of living, a thousand or two thousand dollars a month in retirement pay, basically to ensure that a person's normal standard of living expenses. A higher retirement salary, you can also go out to travel two or three times a year, not a big problem.
But the elderly in the countryside can not, because there is no unit, of course, no one to pay you a pension. So you will often see the rural elderly still laboring in the field, as long as they do not die, as long as there is still a little bit of strength, also have to work, otherwise what to eat. Unlike the city's retired elderly, food and clothing, usually a colorful spare time, everywhere is dressed up in flowery women and women, but also dancing square dance. At this time, the rural elderly, the city's big mother in the square dance, they still have to cook pig food to feed the pigs and sheep, some still have to sleep in the ground, look after their own fruits and gourds planted in the home, for fear of being stolen, enduring the mosquito bites. At this time, the retired urban elderly, is sitting on a comfortable sofa watching TV, drinking tea, entertaining the grandchildren, very comfortable. But the rural elderly of the same age, they are worried that may not rain because of the drought, crops may not have a harvest and worry, sleepless ...... Wait a minute, these are basically the gap between the life of urban elderly and rural elderly, perhaps a small contrast side it.
