This article points out the farmer's biggest dilemma - land!
I hope you can forward it and wake up more people who haven't been aware of the situation!
Apart from the dual structure of urban and rural areas, it should not be to let the capital go free, but to protect the basic rights of farmers' land.
This is their last guarantee.
China's urbanization cannot be a one-way process for farmers to get their roots out of rural areas to the cities, but should allow failed farmers to return to their hometowns.
The right to return to a failed farmer in the city is their basic human right, the last relief and guarantee.
Farmers have a way out, and China's modernization has a way out.
1. Farmers uproot their roots from the countryside and land in the city
Zhang shuguang, an economist, believes that urbanization should be two simultaneous processes, namely farmers pulling roots out of the countryside and landing in cities.
The so-called rural uprooted farmers are the first to move to the cities in exchange for their housing, homestead and land contract rights.
Uprooted from the countryside can not only get the money needed to get into the city, but also can be the real urbanization.
Since the urbanization is the farmer from the root and the city to land, must break apart the urban-rural dual structure, implement the urban-rural integration.
The integration of urban and rural areas is to give farmers free access to cities and capital.
Zhang shuguang researchers believe that the only way to improve the quality of China's urbanization and speed up the modernization of China is to break the dual structure of urban and rural areas and make the market play a decisive role in resource allocation.
Second, the capital is free to go to the countryside, will devour the farmer to make the land
I do not agree with zhang shuguang's fellow.
Because under the current situation of China's urban capital surplus, the capital will be allowed to go down to the countryside, and capital will be the basic guarantee for the land that farmers rely on for their lives.
The reason why city capital is powerful is that the currency depreciates and the land is the non-renewable resource, which is the best storage method.
Second, the city people want to have a leisure place in the countryside, go on vacation every year, enjoy the pastoral scenery.
The question is whether farmers from rural areas will be able to make a decent landing in the city.
Farmers cannot be able to afford a house in the city with the income they receive from their rural land rights.
Maybe they can afford a house in the Midwest.
Even if they can afford a house, they can hardly settle down in the city.
Currently 70 percent of farmers' families are "semi-workers and semi-cultivated structures based on intergenerational division of labor"
Current rural China, 70% of a peasant family, there are "on the basis of the division of intergenerational half work half plow structure", namely the peasant family, the age of parents leave farming village, young migrant children.
A farmer's family has two incomes for farming and working.
The cost of living in the countryside is relatively low and the expenditure is relatively low.
In this way, the peasant family has a balance every year, and life is better.
Now the whole family is in town.
Older parents, it is difficult to find jobs in cities, young children in the town of rural income is too low, can't keep the monumental exploits the family life, only to the coastal areas to work.
However, the cost of living in the city is far higher than that in the rural areas, and the cost of everything is to be paid, which accounts for a large proportion of the annual income.
The family into the city, less income, spending increased greatly, as a result, family economy must pinch, family ties will be nervous, all the family pressure, elderly parents pass on to the lack of job opportunities.
Four, never go back, the old parents, only death
From the perspective of older parents, they know their children are struggling for their children and become a family drag.
Because they have been uprooted from the countryside, old parents no longer have to go back to the countryside, and in the cramped homes of the city, they suffer every day for a long time, and the only way to die is to die.
China is now a developing country with a per capita GDP of only one-seventh that of Europe and America.
That makes it impossible for China to urbanize enough to give rural residents a decent income and jobs in the city.
When the whole family went to town, they failed to return home.
It is necessary to form urban slums.
This is almost all developing countries, and farmers have uprooted from the countryside.
India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Latin America.
On the one hand is the city's shocking supersize slums, on the one hand, the rural wither.
Urban slums are not only inhumane places for farmers, but also a time bomb in modernization.
China's urbanization cannot be a one-way process for farmers to uproot from the countryside and land in the cities.
It is their basic human right to return to the cities where they have failed
The right to go to a failed farm in the city.
Their basic human rights are the last relief and guarantee.
Farmers have a way out, and China's modernization has a way out.
Farmers go to town, "people work hard, help the day", they are in the city decent to settle down.
But in the current stage of China's development, quite a few or even most of the urban farmers who are unable to live in a decent city should be allowed to choose to return home, leaving them to return home.
They can be powerful if they go back to the countryside and join the land.
Farmers don't spend money on their own homes.
Plant your own contract land, can easily solve the problem of food and clothing.
The sideline can get some cash, and the courtyard economy and self-sufficiency dramatically reduce the cost of living.
The village is an acquaintance society, where the ancestors lived in the village, and relatives and friends lived in the village, both in the body and the soul.
Maybe the life of the village is not rich, but very solid.
The peaceful life in the countryside is very good compared to the languor in the city.
If the state is to solve the basic conditions for farmers to produce and live in the countryside, the peasants who fail to go to the cities will be able to integrate with agriculture.
The failed farmers in the city return to the countryside, which is China's modern stabilizer and reservoir
Wuhan suburban real estate agent's slogan is "city farmers have a little field"!
China's urbanization should be a long-term process.
And in the process, there must be a widespread failure in the cities and the return of the failed cities.
It is the failure of the city to return to the countryside, and no urban structure.
It also allows China to respond effectively to economic cycles.
The rural areas that can be returned to failed farmers in the cities are China's modern stabilizers and reservoirs.
Therefore, it should not be to let the capital go free, but to protect the basic rights of the peasants.
This is their last guarantee.
