Why do many people go back to the countryside to build houses when they clearly don't live in the countryside?

Building houses in rural areas is a trend. There are many reasons behind this trend. Here are some possible reasons:

1. Concept of providing for the aged: With the deepening of social aging, some people begin to pay attention to their own problems of providing for the aged, thinking that they can enjoy a better life and better conditions for providing for the aged when they return to the countryside.

2. Cultural identity: Some people think that building a house in the countryside is the embodiment of traditional culture and family significance. They believe that their roots are in the countryside, and they want to own their own houses in the countryside, and at the same time, they hope to maintain traditional cultures such as family and clan relations in the countryside.

3. Investment and financial management: For some people, building a house in their hometown is also an investment method. They believe that buying land and building houses in rural areas may have more investment opportunities and value, and may also become a source of income in the future.

4. Eco-environmental protection: Compared with the high-rise buildings in cities, the rural environment is fresher and more natural, and the air quality is better. Some people think that living in the countryside can enjoy better environmental protection conditions and a healthy lifestyle.

In short, there are many reasons for going back to the countryside to build houses, and everyone has their own choices and considerations. But in any case, we should respect everyone's choice and lifestyle, and at the same time pay attention to protecting the environment and ecology in rural areas.
