How to make young people stay longer in rural areas

2024-05-15

Not long ago, my friends and I traveled to Tiantai County, Zhejiang Province during our vacation, waiting for the sunset. The temperature and air at dusk made me feel lazy and comfortable, and the layers of terraced fields were also intoxicating. My friend suddenly asked me, "Can you stay here for 3 months?" I said, probably needing a clean room. She asked, what if all of these were present? I think that should be possible. With the widespread dissemination of images, texts, and short videos on social media about a better rural life, "youth returning to the countryside" has become a hot topic. There is a "weekend farmer" who rents a piece of land near the city and goes to the mountains to experience farming on weekends; A "digital nomad" who has flexible work and takes a computer to the countryside; There are also young people who experience nature in the countryside and work in other fields... However, just like a friend's question, if we truly become "new villagers", how long can we stay in the countryside? What impact will it bring to the true "old villagers" and rural areas? In fact, many young people switch between urban and rural areas in a "migratory bird amphibious" mode, experiencing the slow pace of rural life while also inseparable from the education, medical, cultural and artistic resources of the city; According to a survey released by the "DNA Digital Nomad Commune" team in 2023, the average length of stay for each person in the "Digital Nomad" community in Longxiang, Anjixi, Zhejiang Province is 58 days. This means that there are not many people who truly entrust all life scenes to the mountains, rivers, and land. A portion of young people come to rural areas full of ideals, exploring ideal life samples that are close to humans and nature. However, when it comes to the growth and development of future generations, they still choose to let their children receive education in urban areas; In rural digital nomadic communities, community members are mostly young people who have reached cooperation and communication within themselves, and are accustomed to open and independent interpersonal relationships in the city. They may not necessarily be able to adapt to the familiar society that still exists in the countryside. In rural construction, although rural areas have become experimental fields for young people's innovation, most people only possess theoretical knowledge and do not have the land wisdom passed down by several generations. Some young people promote fruit and vegetable cultivation, but due to a lack of sufficient orchard management experience and effective operational strategies, only withered greenhouses and cultivated hills are left in the end; The development of small homestays deviated from the market positioning of the project and ended hastily; Rural cultural and tourism developers and operators want to convert natural and agricultural resources into market advantages, but the project itself has not brought enough additional benefits to farmers, resulting in a gap with the villagers. Rural revitalization undoubtedly requires young people to take root internally and connect externally. The various problems presented by rural revitalization and youth returning home mean that rural areas are not a utopia that escapes reality. At the policy level, for young people who aspire to rural areas, the government and relevant departments can provide convenience such as entrepreneurship subsidies and financial loans, as well as provide training opportunities for related industries such as characteristic agriculture and rural e-commerce, encouraging them to transition from a streamlined experience to a localized one; In terms of people's livelihood and industry, increase investment in infrastructure construction, and solve livelihood issues such as the supply of rural products to comprehensive guarantees such as education and healthcare; In terms of the rights and interests of villagers, improve the land transfer system, reasonably allocate rural industrial income, and enhance the transformation of agricultural structure
