Why didn't Gong Yu move out?

Gong Yu's not moving is mainly influenced by China's traditional idea of moving to other places. He is used to living in one place and refuses to move easily. And what it's like to move out is unknown.

Gong Yu is 90 years old, so old, with his spare capacity for the rest of his life, even if he survives, he will never be able to move this mountain. In other words, he will never enjoy the benefits of moving mountains in his life. If you can't enjoy it yourself, you still have to do it. This is beyond your own personal interests and a righteous act for the benefit of future generations.

Modern view of Gong Yu's moving mountains;

From today's perspective, moving is of course the first choice, or even the only choice. Because clear water and lush mountains are priceless wealth, protecting the ecological environment is the most important thing. We must respect the will of nature, not destroy and trample it. From the tough battle against poverty sweeping across the country, we are delighted to see a large-scale moving movement, not a mountain movement. Poor people and poor households are planning to move out of mountainous areas, water-deficient mountainous areas, mountainous areas with difficult transportation and even mountainous areas with frequent mudslides, and move to urban settlements to get rid of poverty.

With the advancement of urbanization in China, the migration movement has evolved into a massive domestic migration movement. Cross-border naturalization is becoming more and more convenient, with more and more citizens and fewer and fewer mountain people. With the expansion of the city, the construction of nature reserves and national forest parks has been steadily advanced. Urban modernization and environmental ecology are the best of both worlds. Move into the city and enjoy modern living conditions. The mountainous area after moving out is conducive to ecological restoration.
