In rural areas, old people often say that "farmers farm to feed the city people". Do you agree with this statement?

I quite agree. Farmers account for the vast majority of China's population of over one billion. Therefore, in rural areas, it is often heard that "farmers farm to feed the city people", and some people have carefully scrutinized this statement, which is not only praising the greatness of farmers, but also unfair. Indeed, no matter from the social status or living conditions, farmers' friends are far behind the city people, and farmers' friends are the biggest "heroes" in growing grain. People often praise the greatness of peasant friends. In fact, what benefits does this compliment bring? Speaking of it, there are many "grievances" of farmers' friends! So how did this statement come from?

There are differences in quality of life and social status. As far as the living environment is concerned, the older generation all live in the countryside and have never been out of the house all their lives. I don't know what it's like to fly or take the high-speed train. And young people never have a sense of belonging when they work in cities. Most people think they are travelers, and most high-tech things can be experienced by people outside the countryside at any time.

Although farmers have made great contributions, farmers' friends are more often discriminated against than others when buying tickets, taking buses and shopping. Farmers seem to be very poor. Over time, even the farmers themselves feel inferior and dare not speak loudly when they go out, even if they have money in their pockets.

Speaking of work, it's also work. Farmers turn their backs on the loess in the sky, go out with rice cookers and come back with hoes every day, while people in other professions, no matter how hard they work, don't have to deal with the land every day without doing their jobs. Under this unequal treatment, farmers' friends are unbalanced: even the food you eat is cooked by us farmers, but it is also your city people who look down on us.

Pay and income are not equal. Rural people who work in the mountains for a whole year may earn less money than urban people for several months, which is one of the reasons why many rural people go to the city. Farmers, farmers, really depend on the weather to eat, hard work is not counted, but also depends on the face of God. In case of drought or flood, their efforts will be in vain. People in the city are different. As long as they work, they have money to take.

City people get paid, and rural people want to sell food for money. In this case, the price of food has not risen much. Grain and grain prices have risen, but the price of raw grain has not increased much. The gap between the rich and the poor clearly distinguishes urban people from rural people. It is rural people who "suffer" and urban people who "enjoy". With the same efforts, I lived a completely different life. In this contrast, it is easy to ignore the hardships of farmers, so there is a saying that "farmers farm to feed the city people." Whether it is comfort or helplessness, the life of rural people is really not as good as that of urban people. But from another perspective, people in the city are also under great pressure. At present, the development of rural areas is gradually in line with that of cities. I hope this helplessness is as little as possible.
