800 Words Essay on Forgetting Ancient Villages and Towns

If you were a ray of sunshine, would you illuminate a darkness? If you were a drop of water, would you moisten an inch of land? If you were a grain of grain, would you have fed a useful life?

If you are the smallest "screw", will you stick to your post forever?

Uncle Lei Feng is such a person, although Uncle Lei Feng has passed away. But his spirit of serving the people and dedicating himself to the motherland will always live in our hearts.

There are also many "living Lei Feng" around me, but there is one person that I can never forget.

She appears in front of all of us every day, you must be very strange, who is this so-called person who can appear in front of all of us every day? Is it a loved one? Teacher?

Schoolmate? Hehe, let me tell you! This person is the --- cleaner aunt who serves us every day.

Cleaners, this seemingly inconspicuous profession, but silently serve the society, who knows? Whenever I get up in the morning to go to school, I see the cleaner aunt silently cleaning our beautiful and lovely city to make our city more beautiful and clean.

All year round, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, she never rests. Even on holidays, I will see her sweeping the streets, which are fine in spring and autumn, lukewarm; But in the summer and winter, it is much harder, and in the summer, they sweep the streets under the hot sun. Beads of sweat the size of beans crept down their faces.

But she insisted on sweeping our streets. In winter, they braved the bitter cold wind to sweep the streets. Wearing only a few thin clothes, they must have been very cold.

But even so, they still endured the biting cold wind and swept the streets.

I was deeply touched by their words and deeds. They are not afraid of the cold and heat, and silently clean every place. Make our home, the earth, better, cleaner and tidier.

You are like Uncle Lei Feng, serving the people and dedicating yourself to the motherland. I believe that this spirit of Uncle Lei Feng will be passed on forever and will always be remembered in our hearts.

Aunt cleaner who serves us and dedicates herself to the motherland, you are like a ray of sunshine that illuminates the darkness of the earth; You are like a drop of water that moistens a piece of the earth; You are like a grain of grain that feeds useful life; You are like a small "screw" sticking to your post forever!

Feng Jicai, vice chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and chairman of the China Folk Literature and Art Association, said in a recent interview that 80 to 100 villages disappear every day in China, and the speed is staggering. No one knows how many of these disappeared villages are traditional villages with cultural conservation value. The unstoppable process of urbanization has turned countless villages into fragments that can only be remembered.

The mass movement and migration of people have changed the traditional social structure and living order, and also destroyed the culture of rural society. The idyllic life that I once had in my memory has been alienated, and the cage-like urban dwelling has become a necessary choice for people. People in the countryside are looking forward to moving to the city, and people from small cities are moving to the big city.

In the process of rapid urbanization, cities are expanding rapidly and uncontrollably, and the countryside is being eaten away step by step. The division between the city and the village is filled with not only the loss of the "village covenant", but also the destruction of the spiritual homeland. How many rural areas are still forgotten, waiting to disappear?

No one seems to be able to tell. What we can see is that the countryside has become a symbol of the bottom edge. Behind the mournful migrant workers, the increasingly desolate, lonely and withered village is disappearing in the shadow of high-rise buildings.

Along with this, there is also the hopelessness and helplessness of left-behind children and lonely elderly, the lack of old-age care, education and medical care for farmers, the destruction of the rural natural environment, and the fission ...... of rural familiesAlthough the existing policies are unprecedentedly inclined to the rural areas, in the construction of the new countryside, the logic of urbanization is still operating. In this process, as Feng Jicai said, the movement of local ** to run the countryside has caused very serious damage to the villages. In some places, there is no village in the county that has a sense of history.

Mencius once said: "Death and migration do not leave the country, and the countryside and fields are the same well." If you go in and out of each other, help each other, and support each other when you are sick, the people will be friendly.

This is the values and way of life that have lasted for thousands of years in rural China. Rural China is not only a rural area in the geographical sense, but also a basic characteristic of the entire Chinese society and culture. "We are too unconfident in our own nation, and we want to uproot everything, but is the countryside really suitable for the development of globalization and modernization?

Should we take into account the roots of the land while pursuing development? This is the confusion of Liang Hong, the author of the book "China in Liangzhuang", and it is also the thinking that we must carry out in the process of urbanization. Any one-way urbanization cannot achieve permanent success, and only two-way development between urban and rural areas, equality of infrastructure and public services between urban and rural areas, and modernization can be carried out on the basis of respect for traditional societies, is an irreversible orientation.

Huge China cannot do without the countryside, nor can it be without peasants. Villages cannot disappear, and the traditions of society that have lasted for thousands of years cannot be shattered by the development of political achievements for a while. This should be the reverence that should be maintained in the process of modernization.

We should let the breath of our ancestors linger over the villages where our ancestors lived, and the society can naturally continue the values of those rural China and continue its own civilization.
