When young people return to the countryside, it is not only a choice of employment, but also a journey of spiritual healing.

Taking root in the countryside, young people can also realize themselves and give full play to their talents. The platforms and opportunities given by the rural areas are no less than those of the cities.

Most of the people living in rural areas are the elderly and migrant workers. How to improve the competitive advantage of rural areas and attract more young people to stay and work is one of the problems that should be considered in the process of new rural construction.

In my opinion, the first thing to do is to improve the environment. The self-sufficient and leisurely life — working in the fileds and harvest in four seasons — is the key to attract urban people.

In terms of environmental improvement, we should promote building renovation, garbage sorting, toilet revolution, river cleaning and road planning.

With the help of natural scenery and rural life, we should vigorously develop the functions of leisure and vacations. In addition to a good ecological and living environment, new rural areas should also be equipped with a variety of service facilities to meet the needs of people’s physical exercise, leisure and entertainment, consumer shopping, medical care and elderly care.

I think that when the living and working conditions are improved, more and more young people will be willing to return to the countryside and sweat on this fertile land to realize their ideals and live up to their youth.

In my mind, the new rural construction should put rural appearance renewal in the first place, which is also the basis for improving the rural environment and achieving sustainable development.

The overall planning and design should be carried out to let the roads be smooth, the houses be renovated, the agricultural courtyard be vigorous and the appearance of the village be completely new, he added.

The construction of a new countryside should have connotations. For example, increase the investment in public security facilities in rural areas, so that villagers, especially the elderly left behind, can live at ease. Another example is to enrich public services, expand leisure activities, provide charity lunches, create a 15-minute-walk medical circle.

As a result, villagers can live happily. They can fully tap their own characteristics, plan and build cultural, tourism, leisure tourism and other industries to make them richer.

At present, competition in big cities is fierce. Generally speaking, it is very difficult to survive in a big city without professional skills. After all, there are bills every month, all of which require money. Once a family is established, the children’s expenses make things even worse.

Now, working in a big city is not the only life for college students. I see that some college students decide to go back to their hometown after graduation, working hard for their hometown with the knowledge they have learned.

Therefore, in my opinion, starting a business in one’s hometown has many advantages. First, it is close to home to take care of the elderly and children. The second is to revitalize the countryside and contribute to the hometown.

There is a teahouse in Maoqiao Village in Huating Town which is owned by a woman in her 30s. Nowadays, more and more young people go to the countryside to show their strength.

It can be seen that the countryside is a vast world where young people have great achievements. The key to the rural revitalization strategy lies on people, especially young people.

I sincerely hope that all areas can put forward good measures and create good conditions to attract young people and retain young people, forming a pattern of a rural labor force combining the three generations of old, middle-aged and young people.

It is believed that with the introduction of new technology, new thinking and new talent, the countryside will become an attractive world, agriculture will become a desirable industry, and farming will become an enviable occupation.

Now, social and economic development is very fast, and the green industry is also rising slowly. In contrast, rural areas are more suitable for the development of these industries, so it is a good choice to give up the fierce competition in the city and go back to the countryside to start their own business.

Today’s new countryside no longer has the appearance of farmers plowing under scorching sun or cold winds. It is an ecological village with creative planning, which integrates recreation, vacation and pension. How can we make the countryside more new?

First, we should create a taste for rural tourism. Second, we should explore the characteristics of intangible cultural heritage. Jiading is rich in intangible cultural heritage, many of which come from the countryside.

Third, it is necessary to implant elderly care planning in new rural areas. If the elderly care plan is added to the new rural construction, it will undoubtedly attract more urban people to take root here and make young people more willing to return to their hometown to work hard.
