Now the rural elderly who can afford to follow their children into the city, because the city's facilities are very good, whether it is a nursing home, medical care, tourism, eating or wandering, the natural conditions of these old people's paradise.
In contrast in the countryside, all they can do is watch the sun rise and set, watch the moon rise and set, and spend time with the clouds***.
The facilities and amenities for the elderly are largely absent in the countryside, suggesting that their demands are not being met.
Since we are talking about rural pensions, the biggest problem is, of course, the lack of pensions for elderly farmers.
This is arguably the greatest sorrow of the elderly farmer who is reminded of his great contribution to the development of society when he was young.
However, the most practical problem facing rural pensions is the lack of pensions to match the loss of labor in old age.
Access to health care, travel, food, nursing homes and daily living expenses are amenities that are socially beneficial, not charitable.
And how can pensioners in rural areas enjoy such a retirement without a pension to pay for it?
With this in mind, it is important to identify the biggest problems of rural retirement, poor medical equipment and facilities, and the incredibly large medical costs incurred in receiving medical care.
Elderly people in rural areas who have been engaged in manual labor have developed geriatric illnesses, and the slightest breeze can lead to a variety of diseases that require urgent medical assistance.
But are there decent medical facilities in rural areas? The only option is to rush to a county hospital or a higher level hospital.
It is often a long journey of at least 50 kilometers, if not hundreds of kilometers, and the tumble can endanger the lives of the frail elderly or exacerbate their health problems.
This is the fundamental reason why many elderly people who come from the cities to retire in the countryside stay for only a few days before leaving! This is also why many elderly people come to the countryside from the cities.
However, today's hospitals are greedy bloodsuckers who seize on the morbidity of the elderly's frailty, insisting on multiple checkups, multiple blood tests and charging for pre-morbidities, which are in fact only the initial stage of medical services.
In fact, which rural elderly can afford to be so leisurely? Are there any rural elderly who have the financial means to be at the mercy of hospitals? Indeed, this is the biggest pain point of aging in rural areas.
To put it bluntly, rural areas are not suitable for old age.
Rural areas are simply not equipped for seniors to age in today's world.
So how do rural seniors age? Even when they are able to move and walk, they choose to work in the fields and realize their old age through this work; when they are lazy, they do what they can at home; and when they are no longer able to move, they sit on the stone bridge in front of their house every day, watching the sunrise, the sunset and the rain, until one day, when their life is over, they just sat there.
This is because all the old people in the countryside don't know what old age retirement looks like, what nursing home benefits look like, and on top of that, on the eve of old age and death, they owe their children huge medical debts for treatment of major illnesses, and basically have to live with the pain of their illnesses until the end of their lives.
