Is it a tragedy for rural children to go to college?

Most netizens believe that it is unfair to not encourage rural children to go to college. They think that rural children are unwilling to go back to college, but it is okay for urban children to go to rural construction. Why should rural children Live in the countryside all their lives, while urban children live in the city all their lives? Some netizens also expressed their understanding of this: first, the tuition is very expensive, and it will indeed bankrupt the family; second, it will be in vain if you go to school. In the era of struggling for fathers, your father is not Li Gang, and he will have no job even if he goes to school; third, farmers The current wages of workers are higher than those of college students.

Opinion 1:

Society is "sick", why do rural children need to "take medicine"?

Behind this point of view, Commissioner Wang's reasons seem to be very sufficient, and he even "raises grievances" on behalf of rural children. However, the existence of these problems is due to social reasons. Why should rural children be allowed to come? What about "taking medicine"? The true love for rural children is not to allow them to settle for unequal social reality and live in "false happiness" like ostriches, but to break all kinds of unfairness and give every child a fair place to compete. . Secondly, to level the salary gap among various jobs. If construction workers and engineers had the same salary as in other countries, I believe there would not be so many rural college students who would have to go to university or move to the city. In this way, many problems would arise. All can be solved. Yan Yu

Opinion 2:

Whether you go to college or not, the tragedy will be there

Don’t think that if you don’t encourage them to go to college, they will live a better life. Happiness, in the face of the huge urban-rural gap pressure, rural areas have never been a "paradise" that makes people happier and more dignified. Judging from the current situation, if a rural child goes to college, even if the whole family borrows money to support him, there is still a possibility of changing his destiny. If you stop here and stay in the countryside, you will be a farmer for the rest of your life. Therefore, whether rural children go to school or not, the tragedy is there. Lingling

Point 3:

The construction of new rural areas still relies on rural college students

Now that the country advocates the construction of new rural areas, it can be said that it still relies on for rural college students.

Most of these "village officials" are from rural areas. They are familiar with rural conditions and love rural areas. This land, so that the knowledge learned can be effectively used. Even if urban college students become "village officials", most of them do it to gain "grassroots work experience", and only a handful of them actually stay. Li Jun

Case: A Difficult "Jumping from Farm"

26-year-old Xiaomin is a graduate from Yifan, but she is ashamed to tell others that she is a college student because The job she is currently doing has nothing to do with her profession: working as a clerk on a railway construction site in a deep mountain, she has to do all kinds of chores, including making meals for the leaders, and the salary is pitifully low. "My dream of being a teacher was shattered. My husband asked someone else to find this job. Let's see what happens one day at a time." Xiaomin said helplessly.

Six years ago, Xiaomin was admitted to a normal college in the provincial capital from a high school in the town, and then the whole family worked together to raise tuition and living expenses. Xiaomin could not forget the crooked back of her mother going out to sell tofu every early morning at dawn... What kind of sadness it was. She could only silently suppress it in her heart, thinking about graduating as soon as possible so that her mother could live a good life. After graduating from college two years ago, Xiaomin participated in several job fairs but failed to find a suitable job. Therefore, she wholeheartedly wanted to stay in her hometown to teach. However, the competition examination in her hometown was more or less based on "relationships", and she ultimately failed. .

Xiaomin went to the city to look for a job again. This time she broadened her goals and went wherever the units needed her. During this period, she worked in sales and as a kindergarten teacher... At a gathering of fellow villagers , she met her current husband: he graduated with a bachelor's degree in engineering and was engaged in railway construction. "We got married half a year later, half for love and half for material things." Xiaomin said frankly that since she couldn't have a stable job, she would try to find one with a high salary and slowly get rid of poverty.

Shortly after getting married, Xiaomin became pregnant. She quit her job and returned to her hometown to wait for the birth. Six months after the child was born, she "cruelly" left the child in her hometown, came to her husband, and started working as a clerk. "The salary is not high, but at least I don't have to be separated from my husband anymore. I just feel sorry for my child. This winter, in my hometown, my little face was frozen. However, we don't have the ability to take him to live with us. Real conditions don't allow it. Yeah, let’s wait and see.” When it comes to the future, Xiaomin is still confused.
