The gap between urban and rural areas in China has always been a very serious problem, I'm not just talking about the economy but also life and thought, the standard of living of urban people is generally higher than that of the rural areas, and their thinking is more open. The rural people's thinking is more conservative, but in recent years it has also been greatly changed. Some time ago, a survey showed that the elderly in the city every day to go to the square dance, while the elderly in the countryside every day to go to the construction site to work, down to the ground, this is why? Why is there such a big gap? Here we will discuss from several aspects.
First, the living standard of the urban elderly is generally higher than that of the rural elderly, and there are pensions after retirement. If we look at this aspect alone, we don't need to support our children, and if we don't drag them down, the urban elderly can live the rest of their lives without working. But the rural old man is not, he does not work, he does not have money, if his children are not good or give him a little less money, he can not live.
Secondly, the urban elderly think: "I've worked hard here for half my life, my son and daughter-in-law are married, my daughter is married, it's time for me to enjoy my life, go out and dance". And the thought of the rural elderly is: "My son next year dating, but also in the get some money for him to build a house, and the bride price and what is money ah", and the rural elderly have a land, if they do not work, the land will be a waste of their hearts can not accept the consequences of this.
In fact, no matter from which point of view the city old man and the rural old man their practice is voluntary , the world where there is no such thing as absolute fairness. There are things to do than no things to do well, than those in the community to rely on the old, do nothing to the old man strong it.
